Trump spokesperson doesn't think teaching is a "real job."

[catbyte]

Or maybe she's just too stupid to know that Walz taught high school for 20 years. They reek of desperation and flop sweat.

Trump spokesperson: Ex-teacher and soldier Tim Walz 'never held a real job in his life'

David Edwards
August 14, 2024



Trump campaign spokesperson Caroline Sunshine said Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz "never held a real job in his life" — despite his years of teaching and serving in the National Guard.

During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, host Terrence Bates complained to Sunshine that reporters were not questioning Walz "on his repeated lies about his military service and every single other thing that seems to come out of his mouth."

"Tim A. Walz, as I like to call him, because when Tim was asked to, you know, answer the call to service and deploy and fight for our country, he chose to step down and run for Congress," Sunshine replied. "He's never held a real job in his life, by the way. He spent all of his life running for Congress, running for office or in office."

Sunshine insisted Walz's retirement from the military after 24 years amounted to "being derelict in his duty."

2. Aannddddddddddddddddddd, Operation Keep Talking keeps on working to perfection.

These fucking MAGAt morons just don't get it and keep on doubling down on their doomed attempt to swift boat Gov. Walz's honorable military service and his service to our school children and our nation.

Eff off woman

4. But 'investing' and then declaring bankruptcy is?

There's so little left to cling to nowadays....

[dickthegrouch]

17. That will go over a few heads!

I see what you did there

[Mr.Bill]

33. I would think that a name like Sunshine

is an alias when you consider the career opportunities for the previous ones. And no, governor of Arkansas is not much of a career opportunity these days.

6. Well, it's no "executive time" spent ranting on social media.

That is true.

I'll bet this lying MAGAt can't walk and chew gum at the same time without losing her balance.

9. WHO taught this AIR HEAD?

Please speak up if you are still alive!

I am blessed for the TEACHERS and College Professors who guided me.

10. Caroline Sunshine?

Forgive me all, but with that moniker I expect her previous job Involved a lot more physical exertion than talking at a camera.
Wink,wink, say no more, ect.

[catbyte]

12. She was allegedly "an actress" on the Disney Channel before she grew up to be a MAGAt.

From Wikipedia:

Caroline Mohr Sunshine (born September 5, 1995) is an American political aide and former actress, who previously worked as a White House staffer during the Donald Trump administration in 2018. As an actress, she is best known for her co-starring role as flashy, rude European exchange student Tinka Hessenheffern on the Disney Channel series Shake It Up. Sunshine has also appeared in the feature film Marmaduke (2010) and the direct-to-video film The Outfield (2015).

[RussBLib]

22. Yeah, being an actress is a "real job"

...doing little but make-believe. Typical MAGAt. Treat your roots, little Ms Sunshine.

Look at football players, Oscar winners, some supposed news anchors et al.
Many “earn” more in a year than I made in my 40 years as an engineer.

[NewDayOranges]

13. Phuck that guy!

In other news...

[Rob H.]

14. My dad was career US Navy and retired after 22 years when the norm is 20

Wild that she thinks Walz retiring after 24 years in is "being derelict in his duty." My dad went on to teach electronics at the college level for a while, too, but I suppose that according to Ms. Sunshine, that's not a "real job," either.

[LoisB]

15. I must assume she never had a "real" teacher otherwise she wouldn't be so d-u-m-b.

[MagickMuffin]

16. Caroline Sunshine, she brings darkness not the light

Ya know some people think acting isn’t really a job. Stay in your lane little miss sunshine.

[Deminpenn]

18. As a "TK", teacher's kid, I know

how hard they work.

[Midnight Writer]

19. Odd, I was just thinking this morning about a teacher I had over 60 years ago.

At the time, I thought he was kind of a dufus, but all these years later I still remember his lessons and can quote him word for word on certain topics.

What the teachers give us stays with us.

[republianmushroom]

20. Who does she think taught her how to read ?

Any and all teachers are hero's. IMO

[bluesbassman]

54. That's a pretty bold assumption there.

I’m looking at that glazed look in her eyes and just not too sure she possesses that particular skill.

[Initech]

21. Being a Trump spokesperson and selling shitty Trump merchandise isn't a real job.

[BoRaGard]

23. #LittleMissScumShine going viral

It's not easy cleaning up all the scummy lies the G.O.P. and russians pump around the planet. But as an obedient repube, she's doing her utmost to Polish Turds and deceive the American people.

[flakey_foont]

24. Let her come and teach even one day of high school

and then say it is not a real job.....

These folks are digging deeper and deeper into their own posteriors to try and find anything to be outraged about regarding Walz.

40 hours a week (at least) and a paycheck........sure sounds like a job to me

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. My wife taught primary for 27 years. Every full week was far over 40.

[BadgerMom]

40. Retired teacher here. Came to make the same suggestion.

Put her in front of a classroom of 30 kids for a week. Check to make sure she has appropriate lesson plans. Drop by to be certain she has classroom control. How about assigning and grading homework and meeting with parents? Oh. Miss Sunshine, there’s a faculty meeting Thursday after your student-facing day ends. You’re to bring the snacks this month. And you have supervision duties at the Friday night dance. Don’t consider it work. We went to university and grad school to teach because we just love it.

Asshole. In fact, many of us do love it and deserve respect, support and suitable pay. Again, asshole.

[flakey_foont]

58. I am not a teacher

but I have done substituting and also work as an IT technician for a local schools system, and constantly see first hand what teachers do every day..... it is not easy work, and I have total respect for teachers, including my daughter who teaches middle school

[SCantiGOP]

25. Old bumper sticker:

If you don’t support education, try ignorance for a while.

[COL Mustard]

41. We've been doing that since at least 2015

When Hair Furor first came down that escalator.

[SCantiGOP]

42. I live in the South

S.C. actually abolished compulsory education for one year in the 60s because of desegregation. They wanted to shift all of the funds to private Segregation Academies, a trend which continues today.
Also, with less education they think we can return to the divinely ordained system we had in the 1850s with an aristocratic upper class being supported by a huge lower class. Middle class folks just cause trouble at the ballot box unless you can trick them into voting against their own self-interest.

[Blue Owl]

26. They can take their bullshit and fuck right off

[LiberalFighter]

27. People like her need to be held accountable.

[cannabis_flower]

28. He wouldn't have been deployed anyway ......

I saw an opinion piece somewhere that pointed out that since his hearing was impaired from gunfire he wouldn’t have been deployed anyway. Even though he had an operation to restore it, it still rendered him unfit for duty.

[GPV]

30. Well, that's no surprise to this educator.

[cayugafalls]

31. Great now the RNC can literally blow Sunshine up my arse...

[viva la]

32. These people don't seem to understand the real world.

Military service and teaching are REAL JOBS.
Maybe they think that getting a paycheck from a government means it's not "real"?

Phewie on them.

They also refuse to understand the reality of military service. You don't just quit at any point. Separation can take months, and if you get assigned to something, especially deployment overseas, you could be forced into a new contract for two years. I have a relative facing this right now. He's got 12 years in, and if he doesn't put in his papers soon, he'll be contracted for another two years. So he's getting out while he can.

BTW, Walz was in the artillery, and as is common in the artillery, his hearing has been damaged. He might not have been deployable anyway, because of this service-related injury. JD Vance certainly knows this, even if Trump and his airhead spokesperson don't.

And the MSM go right on enabling Trump. The NBC news last night started with-- not "Trump and Vance are lying about Walz's service record" but "Walz faces criticism about his service record."

I don't know why they unerringly fall into Trump-enablement these days.

[twodogsbarking]

34. It appears she has just made shit up and is selling like, well, a republican.

[Warpy]

35. Can they get any more out of touch?

I suppose being a spokesmodel with a phony name fronting for a convicted felon and grifter is a real job.

These people lack all insight.

[canuckledragger]

36. Says the lying, fake blond, botox propagandist.

Being a mouthpiece to push republican lies isn't a real job, lady. Look in the mirror and stop projecting.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Trump spokesperson doesn't think

None of them do

[aocommunalpunch]

38. What an absolute waste of oxygen.

Long walk, short pier. Don't look back.

[Deek1935]

39. And she would eat Trump's shit and call it ice cream. And the shit would be smarter than she is.

[Emile]

43. and she supports Trump who never worked a day in his life.

[struggle4progress]

44. Translation: She used to promote "Puppy Love 4 Girlz"

[ZonkerHarris]

45. Then Trump was derelict in his duty for not going to Vietnam. Thank you Caroline!

[senseandsensibility]

46. Retired teacher here

I worked many physically taxing, minimum wage jobs during college and after when no teaching jobs were available. There I was with my Masters, working in restaurant kitchens and even cutting onions in a research facility. They were all hard. But once I got a teaching job, I found out what real work was. This "lady" should try it sometime. I predict she's run screaming from the classroom within minutes.

[struggle4progress]

47. Maybe she can boost Trump's campaign the same as she boosted Eric Doden's

[sakabatou]

48. Idiocracy was NOT supposed to be a roadmap!

[Wounded Bear]

49. This has been going on for years and years. Remember that old saying?

"Those that can, do. Those that can't teach."

Hell, I remember that from my teen years, back in the 60's/70's. There has always been a disdain on the right for teachers and academics.

[keep_left]

50. Caroline Sunshine? WTF?! What happened to Liz Harrington?

Did Trump trade her in for the latest model? I recall yet another one* that we saw recently as well. I guess Trump's newest "Fembots" (Randi Rhodes' term) just don't have the shelf life they used to. Regardless, Trump obviously has a type: every one of his "spokesmodels" so far has been a blonde, without even a single exception.

[Dave says]

56. Where do they get these soulless trolls?

[ProfessorGAC]

57. Caroline Who?

Never heard of her; don't care what she thinks.

[harumph]

59. wow. doesn't she look a little..."reichy."

60. Another failed actor

Srsly, there's so many failed actors in wingnut-land these days.

[GenThePerservering]

62. I'd say this about a male talking head, too

but that's one of the worst hair bleaching jobs I've ever seen.

[StarryNite]

63. But I bet she considers lying for loser to be a real job.

What an ignorant moron she is.

[Cowpunk]

64. The Trump campaign saying that teaching isn't a real job is a huge deal.

This needs to become a Dem talking point.
