But the premise was trashing that place he grew up rather than lifting it up,” Walz said on Tuesday of the Republican vice presidential hopeful, adding, “This guy is a venture capitalist cosplaying as a cowboy or something.”

“I don’t even know what a venture capitalist does most of the time!” he then yelled.

Social media reacted with quips and astonishment to Walz’s comments about the term “venture capitalist,” which regards one who invests in a startup business venture.

“Tampon Tim be like ‘vote for me. JD Vance is smart and I’m an idiot,’” a social media user reacted on X.

“That should disqualify him from office,” bestselling author Carol Roth said.

“Imagine not having any idea what most of your biggest donors do for a living,” Claremont Institute’s Dave Reaboi snarked.

“’I don’t know what a venture capitalist does’ yet they want to tax unrealized potential gains… Make it make sense,” another social media user said.

“He’s hoping voters are as stupid as he is,” lawyer Jenna Ellis said.

“He says while wearing the costume of a lumberjack,” Heritage Foundation senior fellow Jay W. Richards quipped.

Walz was campaigning in western Pennsylvania to target rural voters in an effort to help the campaign in the final weeks ahead of the November election.
