Tim Walz: My Masculinity Scares MAGA

In this segment, Clay and Buck break down the viral soundbite of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who claimed during Gavin Newsom’s podcast that his “masculinity scares MAGA Republicans.” Walz insisted critics target him not for policy failures but because they feel threatened by his brand of masculinity.

Clay and Buck mocked the remark, calling it political theater and suggesting Walz is trying to reframe masculinity as a Democratic talking point. They noted how the clip quickly went viral, with social media roasting Walz for the claim and even Newsom laughing during the exchange.

The takeaway: Clay and Buck argue Walz’s comments reveal how Democrats are attempting to weaponize identity and masculinity narratives to distract from policy debates — but the soundbite only made him a target of ridicule.
