MSNBC’s Capehart Says ‘Tampon Tim’ Attack by Republicans ‘Drives Me Crazy’

CAPEHART: “One of the things he has done that is getting him criticism, the Trump campaign is attacking Governor Walz as ‘Tampon Tim,’ which drives me crazy because it is making fun of something very serious and very caring that he — that he has done for Minnesota students. Talk about this.”
FLANAGAN: “Well, first and foremost, Tim Walz is a dad, and that is big-dad energy, making sure that folks who need access to hygiene products have them. We don’t charge people to use toilet paper right at their schools. This is a necessity for people, and I think it just shows, like, the kindness and the goodness and him. And I also think folks are telling on themselves, right, when they don’t see why this is a necessity. You’re telling me you’ve never had to use a wad of toilet paper and, like, tried to figure it out or that you haven’t had resources to pay for tampons and for pads? This is a real issue and it just shows how disconnected they are from the lives of real people across the country. I think it’s a huge victory and he should wear that moniker proudly.”
