Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) appeared to fumble his words during a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Thursday, taking an accidental swipe at Vice President Kamala Harris.
During a speech aimed at rallying support in key swing states ahead of the upcoming election, Walz seemingly referred to Harris as a “prostitutor.”
“Because this started, and I love this story, as a young prostitutor, Kamala Harris talks about going in that courtroom for the first time,” Walz said. He meant to say “prosecutor” but the slip was enough to draw a reaction on social media.
The Vice President, who has served as both Attorney General and U.S. Senator before her current role, has faced her fair share of criticism throughout her career. Many have long been critical of Harris’s record as a prosecutor in California.

The media trail has not gone well for the Democrat duo. Harris and Walz broke their media silence last month, sitting down with CNN’s Dana Bash in Georgia after weeks of avoiding interviews. Following the debate, Walz appeared on MSNBC and ABC, marking just his fourth and fifth solo interviews since joining the Democrat ticket last month.
The rally in Grand Rapids also included digs at former President Donald Trump, with attendees chanting “We don’t eat cats!”—a jab at Trump’s previous debate claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets. The scene played out as both Trump and Harris made their cases to voters with less than eight weeks until Election Day.

This is what we call Freudian slip. He didn’t mean to say that, and everyone knows.
