(DCNF)—MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend claimed Tuesday that Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota’s accomplishments included “providing tampons” to students while previewing the vice-presidential debate with Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.
Walz signed legislation in 2023 that mandated schools have tampons available in both boys’ and girls’ restrooms, prompting former President Donald Trump and others to call him “Tampon Tim.” Sanders-Townsend claimed that Vance would have to resort to “stolen valor” allegations that have dogged Walz.
“I think that if they’re gonna attack Governor Walz, the Trump campaign and J.D. Vance on that stage, he might try to do so on his military record,” Sanders-Townsend claimed. “And I think he has to have a very strong answer, push and pivot back to the issues. I think that’s one of the biggest vulnerabilities.”

“I actually don’t think his record as governor is vulnerable at all because what he has done as governor, make sure children have food to eat at school so that they could learn, protect women’s autonomy that they can make their own decisions, provide tampons and sanitary products for young girls in schools so that you don’t have an embarrassing moment so they can focus on learning,” Sanders-Townsend added, before telling MSNBC host Ana Cabrera that Minnesota was one of the five best states for business.
Vance accused Walz of “stolen valor” at an Aug. 7 campaign event, citing comments Walz made in a video posted by the Harris campaign where he suggested he carried weapons “in war.”
A 2018 letter and Facebook post by retired Army Command Sergeant Major Thomas Behrends accusing Walz of avoiding a deployment to Iraq prior to his run for Congress resurfaced after he was chosen as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in August.
