Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz has been hit with shocking allegations of an inappropriate relationship with an underage male student

Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, is facing serious allegations just weeks before the election. Social media has erupted after shocking claims surfaced accusing Walz of an inappropriate relationship with a male student during his time as a teacher and football coach. These accusations have been called the “big October surprise” for the Harris campaign.

The accusations came from a social media user with the handle @DocNetyoutube. The user alleged that Walz had an inappropriate relationship with a male student and visited a gay bar with the student, which allegedly led to an investigation by the school board.

Allegations of misconduct

The user, @DocNetyoutube, stated that he received a tip about Walz’s past in August. According to prosecutors, Walz left his teaching position because of a scandal involving the male student. The social media post provided specific details, claiming: “You remember him, right? The real reason you walked away from teaching? The student who stayed at your house and went with you to the gay bar? The reason there was a meeting of the school board was about you?”

The user further threatened to reveal more information, writing, “What do you think, Tim? Should I drop that now? Or should I wait another week or so? You know, the student you had sex with, the male student you had sex with.” have sex with?” This was posted in response to a tweet from Walz in which he criticized Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, and accused them of spreading lies.

How the accusations started

The rumors about Walz first gained attention after a report referred to a reporter observing “tension” between Walz and parents during a football game at Mankato West High School. The incident has revived old rumors from Walz’s time at Mankato West High School (1996-2006), where he was a teacher and coach. These rumors, which concerned inappropriate behavior by male students, were reportedly discussed at school board meetings, although Walz was never formally charged with any crime.

Unproven claims and growing speculation

The allegations range from inappropriate relationships with male students to visits to gay bars. The post also referenced a DUI arrest Walz had in 1995. Despite these claims, none have proven true. The user speculated that these rumors explain why Walz is reportedly getting a “cold reception” in Mankato.

One of the most sensational claims in the post accused Walz of having a sexual relationship with another male student, earning him the nickname “Touchdown Timmy.” The message also noted that Walz helped establish a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) at the school in 1999, fostering close ties with gay students.

Political impact and campaign response

While the source of the allegations remains unclear, if they prove true, they could pose significant problems for the Harris campaign. Walz is portrayed as a clean and strong running mate, especially after Kamala Harris stepped in as the Democratic nominee to replace Joe Biden.

So far, the Harris campaign has not responded to these allegations. The allegations come at a crucial time as the election approaches, increasing pressure on Democrats to quickly address the situation.
