Tim Walz on Being Asked if Dean Phillips Was Right About Biden: ‘Aging Isn’t a Conspiracy, It Simply Happens’

EXCERPT:

WALZ: "I was the governor of a state that watched Donald Trump tell people to drink bleach. When the Mayo Clinic was giving us good advice, Joe Biden followed that advice and saved people's lives. And I was watching Joe Biden deliver on every front. And I knew this man deeply. And the voters were there with him. They were saying he was there. And aging isn't a conspiracy. It simply happens. And last night, I'm sitting in the nook eating a Jucy Lucy, and who calls? Joe Biden, to say, 'Thanks, Tim, for standing with me.' That's the type of guy he is. And that's how I knew him. So, look, I wasn't belittling Dean personally. I just thought, look, he's in the middle of dealing with these crises, and we're out here saying, he's too old, he's doing this. He was doing the work. The day before the debate, he was on the phone with me for 20 minutes talking about the flooding up the Blue Earth River, where you saw the dam on television looking like it was going to break. That was the difference there. And, look, I applaud Joe Biden. I think he made the right decision in terms of where he's at and the ability to prosecute this case against Donald Trump's weirdness and our policies that are making a difference.“
