So their attack is based on the fact that he petted a dog that wasn't Scout when he was at the dog park?
What kind of weirdo goes to a dog park and doesn't pet every dog they see?

The MAGA type of weirdo.
They tend toward unneutered pit bull mixes that shouldn’t be at a dog park in the first place.
Dogs instinctively recoil and begin snarling at MAGA supporters so the idea that a strange dog would willingly come up to them for pets is unthinkable.
Well someone hasn't read the Bible apparently!
"Thou shall not covet thy neighbors dog." Sound familiar?
Yeah it was me, I didn't read the Bible...
:P
Pretty sure the Bible thing is about covering oxen.
Harder to spot under a tarp (especially if it's a sand colored one) and quick to overheat in the desert, is my guess 🤷
Thou shalt not have any other dogs before DOG!
Trump was considering South Dakota Gov. Noem for his running mate, but he ruled out that possibility after she drew so much criticism for an anecdote in her book in which she describes shooting a dog she owned.
Puppy. Not dog, puppy. It was only 14 months old when she decided to take a shotgun to it.
Because it got loose and attacked the neighbors chickens, not maiming the mailman, or hurting a child! And she was training it to be a hunting dog!
Psaki argued, "I think there's actually an important lesson here. FDR was right: If you resort to attacking a candidate's dog, you're probably losing, and you deserve all of the ridicule coming your way."
Almost everyone loves dogs. If you don't, or they frighten you, you still know that others love them. Speaking poorly about them is a stupid move. Let's gear up for stupid!
What gets me is that they didn't even have to attack his dog. Kristi already had that covered in her own backyard gravel pit!
It's not in her back yard she lives in the gravel pit.
One of their recent lines of attack involves Walz's dog Scout: some MAGA Republicans have been questioning the dog's identity after seeing an October 2022 photo of Walz petting a different dog — an attack that, according to MSNBC's Jen Psaki, underscores their desperation.
This is desperate as fuck. What can we whine about next, he hugs someone who isn't a family member? Fuck off, Repubs.
he hugs someone who isn't a family member
It's crazy that the worst they can come up with on him is "He gave children sanitary products" and "He pretended to have a dog".
