Tim Walz Picks A Football Coach Fight With Tommy Tuberville

While Kamala Harris runs from the media, her running mate Tim Walz is on the campaign trail thinking he's going to win a football coach fight with Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, who has forgotten more about football than Walz ever knew about the sport.

"I don’t know what he’s trying to do. He’s kind of conned his way up the Totem Pole, I guess. He’s second in line to being the president of the United States if they were to happen to win, which I don’t think that’s going to happen but, if you just look at everything he’s done, it doesn’t coincide with being a coach."

Tuberville then pointed to
