Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz used to be a gun rights-favoring Democrat.
The key phrase there is "used to be."
He took the NRA's money and endorsement, then turned his back on them when it became politically expedient. To say the NRA is miffed about that is a bit of an understatement. Yet they didn't make a huge thing about it outside of Minnesota because, well, who cares? He's Minnesota's governor.
But now he's the vice presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, and he's poised to potentially become everyone's problem, so it seems the NRA isn't interested in letting up on pointing out his flip-flopping history.
Randy Kozuch, chair of the NRA Political Victory Fund, said Gov. Tim Walz "is a political chameleon — changing his positions to further his own personal agenda," referencing Walz's evolving stance on gun control.
