  1. “More recently, they lost their minds about Walz making a completely forgettable quip — calling it a joke gives it way too much credit — about how he eats “white guy tacos.” What’s a white guy taco to Walz? “Pretty much ground beef and cheese.” Then he mumbled another throwaway line about black pepper being as hot a spice as his region prefers”.

  2. It’s not even a joke! For lots of us, that’s just how we’ve always referred to them!

  3. >Ben Shapiro, generally regarded as a high-level conservative public intellectual….

    This is the most damning thing in the article.

  4. Look these are the same people that were threatened by Taco truck on every street

  5. I work with a lot of Hispanic men and women. Well before this, it was not uncommon for them to leave one corner of a potluck tray for the “gringo” version.

    I have always been quite thankful for said corner of the tray. XD

  6. Gotta be the biggest story since Obama’s MustardGate, if not worse.

    The Harris campaign may as well fold their tent. It’s over.

  7. Oh come on, everyone calls old El paso tacos “white guy tacos.” Nothing authentic about those. Nothing wrong with eating them either.

  8. Yep.

    Their frustration comes from being unable to reach him.

    Because they don’t realize that Walz, a public school teacher and football coach, was a noncom in the Army National Guard for 24 years and can handle their bullying and adolescent BS. One of his superpowers. lol

  9. Minnesota snark is typical. They should avoid the midwest.

  10. They have to grasp at straws because they can find NOTHING bad to say about the guy and it’s glorious

  11. He made fun of white people, which is triggering for the right. I enjoy a white people taco night on occasion.

  12. As midwestern I’m can say bland tacos with yellow cheese and sour cream are a thing

  13. These are the same people who lament they can’t make vile and disgusting comments about minorities…but get triggered by the mildest criticism…but liberals are the snowflakes….ok.

  14. Authoritarians hate self-deprecating humor and basically any humor in general that isn’t at the expense of somebody else. That kind of humor exposes weaknesses which can never be done. Fear, fear, fear. Fight, fight, fight. This is all they understand.

  15. Apparently Ben never heard the song “White People Taco Night” by Lewberger, a group partially made up of members of the YouTubers TryGuys.

  16. As a latin kid who grew up having dinner at white friends’ houses… White guy tacos are most certainly a thing. They aren’t bad either. Who getting bent over this?

  17. Proof that MAGA cannot undersand the difference between self-depricating humor and racism.

  18. I literally am so done with these stupid people. Please. Young people. Tell your friends. For the love of god, vote. So we never have to deal with Trump again.

  20. The person in the picture with him is Sarah Garriott! My wife was her daughter’s preschool teacher.

  21. I would venture a guess that even Walz’ tacos are too spicy for Trump

  22. Here in Texas, white people tacos are definetly a thing… and breakfast tacos (also come in white people ‘styles’).

  23. Second husband with his daughter is apparently “beyond parody,” for MAGA. These people are mentally unwell, and I pity them

  24. FYI for everyone outside Mn: this is how we complain about our parents’ cooking. Pepper is the highest their spice level goes. Literally said this about my mom’s cooking like a month ago (sooory mom)

  25. As a Latino, seeing magats like the Cuban Canadian Ted Cruz come to “my aid” is really pathetic.

  26. Conservatives think jokes are times you say something horrible and then need to cover it up by saying “I was only joking.” They don’t realize jokes are actually things meant to be funny.

  27. But, hey,they also got upset over m &M’s not being sexy anymore because marketing charged high heels to some other shoe. That still is mind boggling. They fret, rant, and lose their minds over everything but reality.

  28. Tim Walz is a normal American man who has worked hard for his country, his students, and his state. They don’t know anyone like that, so they can’t comprehend normal chatting and dad jokes.

  29. Margaritas restaurant sells this taco and calls it el gringo
