Fox News viewers – and even the panelists – were left stunned when a Democratic strategist made a shocking claim about failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz. People audibly gasped when Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov delusionally claimed that Tim Walz’s “tour” of Republican states is a good idea.
At a glance:
• Fox News’ “The Five” panelists were audibly shocked when Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov supported Tim Walz facing the media
• Walz, who lost as Kamala Harris’s running mate, has announced a town hall tour in red districts
• The Democrat faced controversy during the campaign over “stolen valor” accusations and false claims about witnessing the Tiananmen Square massacre
• Tarlov claimed Walz’s media engagement shows “responsibility” despite his campaign’s significant losses in swing states
• The Harris-Walz ticket underperformed compared to Biden’s 2020 results, losing key voting blocs to Trump
Democrats Still Defending Failed Candidate
Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov shocked the panel of Fox News’ “The Five” when she expressed support for Tim Walz’s decision to face the media again after his failed vice presidential bid. The Minnesota Governor, who lost alongside Kamala Harris to President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the recent election, has announced plans for a town hall tour in red districts.
“I think it’s good that Tim Walz is out there,” Tarlov said, causing audible surprise from her co-hosts. Her stance comes despite Walz’s numerous campaign controversies that likely contributed to the Democrats’ election defeat.
She thinks he can actually change anyone’s mind?

Controversial Past Haunts Walz
Walz was a disaster for many reasons, and lying about his history was a big part of it. Walz faced significant scrutiny during the campaign over accusations of “stolen valor” regarding his military service. The Democrat was also called out for falsely claiming he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre, statements that damaged his credibility with voters.
Despite these controversies, Tarlov defended Walz’s new media strategy, stating, “It’s better than not confronting it, and he’s taking responsibility, which people were asking for.” The comment suggests Democrats may be attempting to rehabilitate Walz’s image for future political ambitions.
Tarlov got so much pushback yesterday that I thought she was either going to cry or get up and leave.

Electoral Failure Analysis
Post-election analysis revealed that the Harris-Walz ticket significantly underperformed compared to President Biden’s 2020 results. The Democratic duo lost key swing states and important voting blocs that had previously supported Biden before shifting to Trump in the recent election. And while Harris herself was a poor candidate, Walz certainly didn’t help her.
Walz has recently announced his intention to conduct town halls in Republican-leaning districts, claiming Democrats have “better offerings” for voters. This move comes as the Democratic Party attempts to regroup after their decisive loss to President Trump’s successful America First agenda that resonated with working-class Americans across the country.
