Gwen Walz Faces Backlash for Campaign Speech

During a recent campaign rally in Wisconsin, Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz faced backlash for her animated speech urging voters to 'turn the page' on former President Trump. Critics labeled her performance as 'cringe' and likened it to Hillary Clinton's past missteps, accusing her of embodying 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.' Walz's comments referenced Vice President Kamala Harris's recent debate, where she emphasized the need for change in the political landscape. After encouraging the audience to join her in pantomiming the act of turning a page, Walz declared, 'Bye bye, Donald Trump.' The speech has drawn significant criticism, with detractors mocking her flamboyant gestures and questioning the appropriateness of her remarks. Gwen Walz, who has served as Minnesota's first lady since 2019, has previously attracted attention for her comments about the state's 2020 riots.
