today’s example of why modern Conservatives are weird people

“Tampon Tim is hands down the best political nickname ever,” tweeted conservative commentator Liz Wheeler. “It’s so… savagely effective. In one word tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about Tim Walz’s dangerous radicalism.”

The moniker refers to a law that Walz, the governor of Minnesota, signed last year, requiring public schools to provide menstrual products — including pads and tampons — to students in 4th through 12th grades.

Tim Walz’s dangerous radical agenda of…providing menstrual products to adolescent kids that might need them? lolol

    What’s wrong with putting tampons in the men’s restrooms at schools? Won’t they come in handy if there is a shooting?

    Anyway, this reads to me like free advertising for Walz.

      If you are in an emergency life or death situation and are bleeding, anything that keeps blood from leaking out is beneficial.
