Walz says Democrats have reclaimed freedom, flags and football
Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz says Democrats, led by Vice President Kamala Harris, are reclaiming issues that they had previously ceded to Republicans, from ''freedom'' and the American flag to football.
Speaking at a fundraiser in Bethesda, Maryland, Walz told donors that Harris, in her convention speech, ''took freedom back for us. She took freedom back.'' Referencing patriotic scenes at last week's Democratic National Convention in Chicago, he added: ''They don't have a monopoly on the flag. We took the damn flag back.''
Walz continued that Democrats were retaking the idea of ''family,'' as the Harris-Walz ticket says Republicans jeopardize not just abortion access, but potentially fertility care as well.
