(TheIndependentStar.com) – In powerful comments by a veteran high-profile Republican, former US Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich stated Democrat vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz “is legitimately called Tampon Tim because he’s really so far to the left he’s almost wacko.”

Gingrich, a Republican from Georgia, spoke on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, critiquing the recent debate between former President Trump and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris.
He described the event as a “tag team,” accusing ABC News of bias in favor of Harris.
“It was three on one,” Gingrich commented.
“I think she probably did well on style. She did terribly on substance. And every poll shows that. Even CNN showed that President Trump was stronger on the economy after the debate than before the debate. And I think in that sense she did not gain any ground, she probably lost ground,” he elaborated.
The former House speaker emphasized that the election hinges on several critical questions:
“Were you better off under Trump than you are under Biden?” “Do you believe that Harris is capable of being commander in chief?” “Do you think that her values are too radical?”
He also reiterated his controversial nickname for Walz.
“And when you meet Tim Walz, who is legitimately called Tampon Tim because he’s really so far to the left he’s almost wacko, and picking him, seemed to me, pushed her even further away from normal Americans.”
Gingrich remains confident about Trump’s chances.
“I think he has a real chance to win it. He came out of the debate stronger than when he went in, and it was ironic, I’ve written several columns now about the fact that the elites don’t get it. Trump was winning. They liked Kamala’s style. The American people like Trump’s substance, and substance beats style when you’re picking a president,” he declared.
The nickname “Tampon Tim” stems from a law signed by Walz, then governor of Minnesota, which mandated that public schools provide menstrual products, like pads and tampons, to all students from 4th to 12th grade, including boys.
“The products are free for students, with the state paying about $2 per pupil to keep them stocked throughout the school year,” NPR reports.
