Update:
On Wednesday evening, Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary appeared on CNN NewsNight and called Democrat Minnesota Governor Tim Walz a clown for wishing death on Tesla. O’Leary criticized Walz for being a “bozo” after it turns out that Minnesota’s state pension fund holds over a million shares of the American automaker.
“That poor guy did not check his portfolio – and his own pension plan for the state. It’s beyond stupid what he did. He is talking down a 3% weighting in his pension plan. What’s the matter of that guy? He doesn’t check the well-being of his own constituents in his state? That’s their investment. What a bozo,” O’Leary told the leftists at the CNN roundtable.
Kevin O’Leary nails it on multiple points here:
1. Anyone who lights a car on fire should go to jail, no exceptions
2. Tim Walz is a moron because Minnesota’s pension plan is backed by Tesla stock pic.twitter.com/x5bEBgIGov

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin found that the state of Minnesota had 1.6 million shares of Tesla in its retirement fund and 211,000 shares of Tesla in its non-retirement fund.
As Gov.

Unhinged Democrats attacking an American company as the latest NBC News and CNN polls show the party has hit its lowest approval ratings on record: 27% and 29%, respectively.

Unhinged Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told Democrats at an Eau Claire, Wisconsin, town hall on Tuesday he openly roots for the death of the most American-made car company: Tesla Motors.
“I was saying, on my phone, I know some of you know this, on the iPhone. They’ve got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day,” Walz told the crowd.
The failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee then excitedly yelled: “$225 and dropping …”
Here’s the full video of Walz…

X users responded, of course, and blasted the anti-American Democrat:
What is wrong with you. You’re actively rooting for an innovative American company to fail?
The cars are American made and literally drive themselves.

1500 Tesla owners were doxxed today.
Their lives are at risk and you’re cheering on the effects of domestic terrorism.
This is unbelievably evil.

This is one of the most pathetic, most lame things ever said by a prominent politician. This is going to haunt you for the rest of your career.

You, and everyone like you, is why I left the Democratic Party.
This is not how you win anyone back.
Do better.

Walz said the quiet part out loud: Democrats are openly rooting for the failure of an American company, while other leftists have resorted to anarcho-terrorism.

Inverse Cramer?
This is not “America First” but rather a continuation of the Democrats’ modus operandi: “America Last.” One can’t help but wonder if this anti-American rhetoric is being partly influenced by a foreign adversary, such as China. Remember, China has Tesla competitor BYD. And also remember: “Elite Capture?” Pentagon Stonewalls On Walz’s Frequent Trips To China, Raising National Security Concerns …
