Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) is suddenly silent in the wake of a direct challenge from WWE wrestling champion-turned-Republican-politician Glenn Jacobs, who is currently serving as Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.
Walz had boasted just days earlier — while on a podcast with fellow Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) — that conservatives who had criticized his masculinity during the 2024 election had only done so because he intimidated them: “I think I could kick most of their a**.”
A number quickly pushed back, including Jacobs — who had great success as “Kane” in the WWE before transitioning to a life of public service in Tennessee — who initially just laughed off Walz’s comments.
This morning I ran into @GlennJacobsTN, aka Kane, and asked him about Tim Walz saying he’d kick any MAGA voter’s ass.
