ABC’s Good Morning America understood the assignment on Wednesday to play proverbial clapping seals over Vice President Kamala Harris picking Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate, casting him as a “folksy”, innocent guy from Minnesota with a “meteoric” “rise” who “fired up” a Philadelphia rally but can also “reach out to the rural conservative voters”.
They also heralded his governorship as making law “a wish list of Democratic bills” on social issues, but were otherwise light on specifics and, like, CBS and NBC, kept Walz’s image squeaky clean and ignored statements and positions Walz has taken.
That included his peddling of the crude, false claim about GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance having had sexual relations with a couch.
Co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos kept it superficial by first…
