CLAIM: Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claimed that former President Ronald Reagan was the “last union member” to appear on a “national ticket.”

VERDICT: False. Former President Donald Trump was a member of the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union.

During a campaign rally in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Walz spoke about how “the thing that built the middle class” had been the ability to allow people to “collectively bargain and form a union” with their neighbors. Walz added that he had been a union member of Minnesota’s teacher’s union.

Tampon Tim is to Reagan as a dung beetle is to Titan.
News of his death will be answered by farts in his general direction.

Cheney was in IBEW. Walz is a DF.

Do they represent non-union members too?

I am not union. They’ve done a lot of harm to our nation — consider the public schools.

Hillary Clinton was in the witches’ union, I think. Or perhaps something that rhymed with that.

Isn’t Walz the guy who decided to let BLM terrorize the Twin Cities and not do anything to it?

I gotta believe that Trump had to have been in a union during his TV show days. Not sure, but I wouldn’t be “shocked”.

It’s like denying that democrats were the party of the my klux klan. Or that Lincoln was a Republican
Decades from now if the democrats ever stop promoting the idea that parents should murder their offspring they’ll claim republicans did that. But they’ll be a memory.
Did he mention that Reagan was running as a Republican, he said the Dem party left him

Reagan also was once a Democrat but he said he changed to Republican when the Democrat Party left him.

A foolish claim on the part of Mister Walz, however that said...

... let's talk about valor and how those who STEAL it betray a total lack of responsibility, honesty, respect for those who wore our uniform and DID carry a rifle in combat, and the low opinion of those who they seek to deceive.

Walz is also the governor who ordered Minnesota National Guard and area LE troops to open fire on neighborhoods where residents had simply gone outside their homes during the fake / election stealing "pandemic" in 2020, as well.

He's an evil little homosexual pedophile.

Walz is the governor who has agreed to be on a ticket where the presidential candidate was born of two parents who were not naturalized citizens at the time of the presidential candidate's birth. This candidate does not meet Article 2 Sec. 1 of the US Constitution defining eligibility requirements for president. He knows this full well - as did Joseph Robinette Biden in 2019

Do democrats have an issue finding American citizens to run on national tickets for president?

Wasn’t Michael Dukakis a proud member of the ACLU? It’s not a union in the normal sense of the word but it does have “Union” in its name.

To: ChicagoConservative27

Ronbo not only was a union member, he was 7 times President of the Screen Actors Guild.

Jack Kemp. Bob Dole’s running mate in 1996. 5 times President of AFL Players Union.

Didn’t know the Donald was a union member (SAG-AFTRA), but it makes sense.
