(LifeSiteNews) — Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has expressed fear over the boost that presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz could give to her campaign, especially given his transgender activism.
“He’s the most radical they could find on the trans issue,” Kelly said on Wednesday, after Harris announced Walz as her running mate. “As I said yesterday, he’s another Gavin Newsom. There’s just almost no daylight between those two – if any, at all – which is an issue very important to me personally, and my audience as well.”
Walz is an extreme leftist who since taking office has signed an executive order making Minnesota a sanctuary state for gender transitions; instituted a program to bribe teens with $200 VISA cards to take the COVID-19 jab; and signed into law a “right” to unlimited abortion, putting the North Star State on par with North Korea according to pro-life leaders.
Kelly also highlighted the fact that Walz signed legislation to put tampons in boys’ as well as girls’ restrooms in public schools, and that he “is being accused of dodging combat service in Iraq.”
“This guy scares me,” Kelly continued. “He scares me because he actually could become the vice president and potentially the president. And I’m gonna be honest with you and the audience. I watched him last night, and I thought he was amazing. He is a spectacular speaker. He was charming. He had that rally in the palm of his hand. He’s way more effective than [Kamala Harris] is, or Joe Biden is,” she said.
“And I genuinely feel like for the first time that I can remember, [I] had like a feeling of fear rise up in my throat,” she added.
“Because I know what he’s permitting in Minnesota when it comes to children. … Nothing compares to what we’re doing to minor children. I get emotional over it. This isn’t gonna happen to my kids. My kids are good. This isn’t about a personal thing for me; it’s about everybody else’s kids. I care about children. And he is pedal to the metal, full steam ahead on all of it,” Kelly continued.

As soon as the Harris camp let it be known that Walz was her choice of running mate, social media lit up with posts drawing attention to his dark track record since becoming the Governor of Minnesota in 2019.
Former gubernatorial candidate Mike Murphy, who challenged Walz in 2022, posted a video montage from his campaign which depicted what he deemed to be Walz’s “first term failures,” including locking down his entire state during the COVID-19 pandemic and permitting BLM riots to destroy Minnesota cities.
Murphy didn’t mince words, declaring on X that Kamala Harris had chosen “the worst, most careless Governor in history” as her running mate.
Independent journalist Kyle Becker posted a laundry list of the leftist disasters Gov. Walz inflicted upon his state.
