A new report from NPR shows that Democrats have actually started to embrace the “Tampon Tim” nickname for Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz despite its discomforting connotations.
After Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Tim Walz (D) as her running mate in the 2024 election, Republicans immediately seized upon legislation he signed into law in his state that called for tampons to be placed in both girl and boy bathrooms in schools. Since boys do not menstruate, Republicans coined the nickname. As Breitbart News reported:
Republicans have savaged Walz for caving to the farcical woke insistence that “not all students who menstruate are female,” as Minnesota State Rep. Sandra Feist articulated when advocating for the bill that Walz signed to require tampon dispensers in boy’s bathrooms in schools.
According to NPR, while the issue stocking girls bathrooms with tampons has almost broad support, the legislation that Tim Walz signed into law contained some strange language.
