The appellation for Minnesota Gov.

in all public school bathrooms.

The bill allows for the feminine hygiene products to be placed in boys’ bathrooms as well as ******’ ― something that conservatives are hoping they can weaponize against Walz, whom Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen as her running mate in the 2024 election.

On X, formerly

, Kelly approvingly responded to a post that described “******* Tim” as “Kamala’s ***** weight.”

“******* Tim is the name,” Kelly wrote to her 3-million-something followers. “That’s it.”

The original tweet also declared that “Biden was Obama’s ***** weight” and “Kamala is Biden’s ***** weight,” referring to Democratic presidential tickets that voters elected to the White House in 2008, 2012 and 2020.

If Kelly expected people to fall in line behind her and promote “******* Tim” as a mocking nickname for Walz, she was sorely mistaken.

Instead, many folks, including Dr. Jennifer Gunter, an OB-GYN in Canada, pointed out that the bill Walz signed is actually, well,

.

“Imagine being upset that someone didn’t want kids leaking menstrual blood onto their clothes,” Gunter wrote in response to Kelly’s tweet. “You are pro ******* ********, which seems to me to be very anti **********. Would ****** have said, ‘Let them ***** blood onto their clothes because they deserve it?’”

Others also piled on Kelly, and declared that “******* Tim” honestly sounds like more of a term of admiration than derision.

So you think children should be forced to menstruate without these products in school? What is wrong with you weirdos? Get a life

******* Tim sounds like Santa Claus but for periods. Like on the night before you start bleeding he visits your house and leaves baskets of menstrual products under your sink. We should sing carols about him

Ain’t no way “******* Tim” is an insult, especially from the party who wore ****** Overnights on their ears two weeks ago!

Providing free and accessible menstrual products should be the law of the land so, if this makes Walz a “danger”, then it’s time to get dangerous.

Do you really think providing school age ****** with menstrual supplies is a negative? So if I’m following you on this you’re a yes to schools posting the Ten Commandments but a no on tampons. What’s your position on ******* paper? Okay for private schools, but kids in public…

Trump grossly accused Megyn Kelly of having “blood coming out of her wherever”. Tim Walz wants to make sure that doesn’t happen to anyone.

Calling Walz “******* Tim” for putting free tampons in bathrooms for women is not the ***** ***** they think it is.

He’s a legend. He’s an icon. And he IS the moment.

******* ******** is a real thing – students miss school because of lack of access to menstrual products. As a former teacher, Walz understands how his impacts educational outcomes, just like he knows how hunger impacts learning. This makes me an even ******* fan of ******* Tim.
