While I doubt that this allegation alone will gain much traction in removing "Tampon Tim" from the Democratic ticket, the addition of other red flags in his background (such as misleading constituents about his past military service and his controversial views on late term abortions) could derail his bid.

The Italian American demanded that Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) step down as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate over his alleged racism toward Italian Americans.

IACRL board member Mike Crispi, a Trump delegate, published a letter from the group on X accusing Walz of racism and calling him an “enemy of the Italian American Community,” largely over his handling of the riots surrounding the death of George Floyd. During the 2020 unrest, protesters tore down a statue of explorer Christopher Columbus, which led to criticism against Walz and his lieutenant governor.
