" So , call Walz ' Tampon Tim ' because he made certain Minnesota high schools had free tampons available is just make me love him more , bad . "
Well, as you probably know by now, Democratic presidential nomineeKamala Harrisofficially selected her vice president pick: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Seeminglypartof their strategy, Republicans began painting Walz as a far-left liberal. The Trump campaign has already begun their line of attack with a new insult: “Tampon Tim.”

This is because last year, Tim Walz signed a bill that requires schools to"provide students with access to menstrual products at no charge"for grades 4 to 12.
But Republicans are taking issue with the bill’s language thatstates"the products must be available to all menstruating students," which is inclusive of transgender and nonbinary youth. At the time, some Republican lawmakers in Minnesotatried (and failed)to change the bill to “female restrooms” only.
The bill has led to countless anti-trans attacks by Republicans trying to combat the"weird" allegations. A Republican PACpostedan advert on Twitter that asked, “What could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boys' bathrooms?” And so the #TamponTim attacksbegan.
However, many havepointed outthat “Tampon Tim” isn’t really an insult when he’s helped countless young people have access to period products who might otherwise not have had it. And the bill’s Rep. Sandra Feistsaidshe’s received many emails thanking her for providing transgender students with menstrual products without having to ask.
stop poorness is a real thing - student overlook school day because of lack of access to menstrual products . As a former teacher , Walz understands how his impacts educational event , just like he knows how hungriness bear upon learning . This makes me an even bigger fan of Tampon Tim .
Anyway, if “Tampon Tim” is an insult, Walz supporters are embracing it. Here are all the best reactions:

woman are the bombastic voting axis in America , and we are in indigence of period products about three months of every year . If you think attacking a man for providing little girl and char with free accession to tampon is a winning strategy , you probably do n’t know many women.pic.twitter.com/oavIndNSul
I get that the whole decimal point of MAGA is to make juvenile jokes but calling him#TamponTimis not the punchline you suppose it is , as any young woman over the age of 12 who has discover herself in schooltime without adequate supplies can tell you .
Kinda hilarious seeing conservatives drop off their shit over tampon and maxi inkpad being usable in scholarly person restrooms when just a couple weeks ago , so many of them were sticking a pad on their pinna in solidarity with Trump 😂 .
republican : How do we win back women?Dan Bongino : I know ! We ’ll label the Dem VP option Tampon Tim like using tampons or supplying them is a slur . Republicans : Brilliant!!pic.twitter.com/5OKYWbXHTP

Calling a man#TamponTimbecause he made sure girls had tampon in school is a badge of honor ! Most men require nothing to do with their girl ’s menstruum .
good line of work on “ tampon tim ” guy rope , that ’ll show em . he ’ll emphatically suffer the ballot of the demographic who discover tampon gross ( male person age 12 - 17 )
Personally, this is how I feel…
