Governor Tim Walz’s Controversial New Nickname

Minnesotian governor Tim Walz, who has been recently named the Vice President in the Kamala Harris Administration, has acquired the new and very controversial nickname. Called the “Tampon Tim” by the MAGA republicans, the governor of Minnesota has become the source of harsh debates: a bill that the governor signed into action and which went effective on January 1 requires the schools to supply tampons and other menstrual products for women. Additionally, the program includes a provision that will provide transgender students with access to menstrual products, as well. The mandate has led to heavy debates among the conservatives, with the Trump supporters taking the most action and labeling the figure “radical.”

The debate has seen the exposure in social media, particularly through the contributions of the Libs of TikTok and @catturd2, the latter of which insists that the law had made the “Radical Left physique and dual citizen Minnesota.” According to the critics of the law, the derogatory assignment that was placed on Walz is a misfire: with the law ensuring the essential access to hygiene for all students, “Tampon Time” that was used as an insult rather than a valid critique. The debates and their excessive nature, however, show how close the upcoming elections are and how dangerous the current social climate can be.
