Another must-watch video from a few years back.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppTP-si2B58
People are saying that Harris should go on Hot Ones. I woul love Walz to go except he wouldn’t get past the first round.
In the same video where Walz is telling Kamala about the “white guy tacos,” he reminisces about how his first car had an 8-track player, and the previous owner had left a copy of the Night Moves album. He called it “the soundtrack of my youth.” He still has that very 8-track to this day.
Getting back to not owning a house, you know who else didn’t own a house? Mike Pence. He had lived in the Indiana Governor’s Mansion for four years, and then in Washington as VP. He did not own his own house during that time. Somewhat famously, he and his wife had to stay with friends for awhile after leaving office.
The Walzes sold their house for the same reason, to move into the governor’s residence.
I don’t like to use the word scandal. But this. Is the biggest scandal. In American history. Old El Passover. The Republicans have got him by the chimichanga. Or perhaps not, if this is as spicy as they can get. 
Literally anything Walz could say would garner the same level of criticism. He could say “I like puppies and kittens” and the right would be outraged. The only way to avoid saying “this kind of stuff” is to never say anything at all, and I hope you don’t think that’s a winning strategy.
Certainly there will be things that he’s criticized about no matter what he says. But in my opinion, he doesn’t need to step in the quagmire that comes from being criticized about race, gender, and sexuality stereotypes. Especially in a throwaway comment like that. There are 1000’s of other ways to convey he doesn’t like spicy food that don’t involve racial stereotypes. By using race, he gets into a losing battle as to having to discuss why it’s okay to use racial stereotypes in certain situations and not in others. Just don’t use those stereotypes and sidestep the whole issue.
If he’s going to bring up race, do it in a way that is worth the conflict it brings. Say things like “As a white guy, I know I’ve had an easier time getting here. During the vetting process, no one was saying ‘Yeah, but he’s a white guy’ or ‘Yeah, but he’s a straight guy’, ‘Yeah, but he’s Christian’, or even ‘Yeah, but he’s a guy’”. A comment like that would bring criticisms about race that are worthy of the discussions. But don’t use stereotypes for jokey things like “I like white people food”, "I dance like a straight guy’, “I do the manly jobs around the house”, etc. I think the Republicans can get get away with saying those things because that party appeals to the more bigoted and racist voter, but I don’t think that kind of stuff helps Democrats and I think it may turn some people off.
I agree. I LOVE Walz, but this was a mildly unnecessary comment. Not a big deal, but save the race stuff for what matters.
FWIW it may have been an authentic off the cuff throwaway joke, but it functions as something much more savvy: part of his role is the safe boring white guy with dad jokes. He is advertising that. I wouldn’t endorse a whole routine of “I’m so white that I …” (although he probably has the material), but once or twice is just enough of that seasoning.
You mean- you dont like adult dogs and Cats? or Parrots or Canaries? Or snakes? What sort of animal bigot are you!!! 
These people are absolutely out of their gourd.
Get more upset over ‘White Guy Tacco’, totally normal.
All they have in their quivers are tacos and tampons.
Wait til the tiddlywinks story comes out.
Scandals that the Republicans could use to attack Walz;
- He thinks Bob Seger is better than George Thorogood
- He wears shorts with knee-high socks
- He once punished his kids by not letting them watch Davey and Goliath for an entire week
- He embarrassed his teenage daughter by dropping her off for her date while blasting Air Supply on his car’s 8-track
- His alleged “no-alarm chili” has half a can of “Bold and Hearty” Manwich sauce in it
- He still owns a Members Only jacket and wears it when it’s a little nippy out
- He can’t get a wink of sleep if the thermostat isn’t set to exactly 73 degrees
- He once maxed out a credit card to upgrade his home stereo system in preparation for the hi-fidelity vinyl remaster of Frampton Comes Alive!
- He only placed third in the 1998 All-Lutheran Three-Legged Sack Race, not second like his biographer claims
Well, that does it for me.
Just think what they’d be saying if he’d mentioned mayonnaise.
SHE mentioned Mayo.
Him: "I have white guy tacos, and-
Her: What is that? Like mayonnaise and tuna?
Which is demonstrably funny. 
Edit: Then Matt Walsh comes out and Tweets:
“So can you confirm that if I said a “black guy taco” is made of watermelon and fried chicken, you would not call it racist?”
Insane.
Stock taco seasoning isn’t hot.
By that standard, he can’t say “Midwest guy tacos”, either, because he mentions being a guy. That’s totally a gender thing.
And Reps would just say he’s insulting Midwesterners, how dare he.
Are you trying to post with sarcasm, because I don’t hear it.
He is. The Twitter brigade is specifically claiming that Walz must be lying about not liking spicy food, because his recipe for turkey taco hotdish includes a 4 oz. can of mild chili peppers and an unspecified amount of chili powder, and this is proof that he’s been ordered, presumably by The Deep State, to appear meek and submissive in comparison to Harris.
The Republicans have become so accustomed to style over substance, and their leaders so obsessed with projecting a faux macho man image, that they can’t accept the idea of someone saying “I don’t like spicy food” unless it’s some sort of coded message or part of some secret agenda.
And when you mix a tampon and a taco you get:
Which is orange, just like Trump!!!
But seriously, they are reaching in their attempts to find an avenue of attack. I doubt anything I could make up would be as crazy as the next thing they are going to try to pin on Walz. Maybe they’ll try to prove he actually preferred New Coke.
And they missed the chance. Sad.
Sorry, I thought that the comment minuscule amount of spice would be enough to convey sarcasm. The point I was making is that adding a can of chopped mild chilies is not the height of spiciness. It also may be true that he prefers his tacos milder but upped the spice level for the competition.
Personally, I can no longer tolerate spice so mild is fine with me. I just can’t be mad at someone who wears socks with corn dogs on them to the state fair and is willing to debate the serious issue of pronto pups versus corn dogs.
The only thing that really bugs me is the muffin thing. If you didn’t see that interview he was asked if there was only one muffin left and he wanted it would he go ahead and take it or cut it in half and leave half and he answered that he would just take the muffin top which is frankly worse than taking the whole thing.
