Tim Walz’s Daughter Loses It Over Trump’s Popular Executive Order

The adult daughter of failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz exploded on social media Wednesday, lashing out at President Donald Trump for backing efforts to ban boys and transgender athletes from playing in girls’ and women’s sports.

The video, first flagged by the popular conservative account Libs of TikTok, shows Hope Walz, 23, chastising the president for issuing an executive order singling out “one percent of the population” instead of dealing with more pressing matters.

Doing so is “not protecting women,” Hope says while waving her hand. “It’s setting a dangerous precedent, and it is dangerous for the trans community, women, minorities… anyone who is not a straight, white man.”

Last week, President Trump signed an executive order instructing the Department of Justice to enforce Title IX laws through an interpretation that women prohibit transgender athletes from participating in female competitive categories, ABC News reported. Titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” it fulfilled a long-held promise by President Trump to “defend the proud tradition of female athletes, and we will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls,” Trump said at a White House signing ceremony.

Despite the low number of female transgender athletes, several high-profile injuries to female competitors have drawn scrutiny from conservatives. In Massachusetts, a field hockey player was sent to the hospital and underwent emergency dental surgery after a transgender competitor fired a shot into her face. In North Carolina, 17-year-old Payton McNabb suffered head and neck injuries after a transgender opponent spiked a volleyball ball at her during a game.

She fired back at Democrats like Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who said last year that Congress has “better things to do” than focus on a small fraction of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.

“Just getting back from my second doctor appointment this week, a year and a half later, I’m definitely going to have to disagree,” McNabb wrote on X in response to Jayapal’s remarks. “My life is forever changed because of an injury by a boy. So yeah . . . men have harmed women in our sports. But as long as your feelings don’t get hurt, right?”

But to Hope Walz, those anecdotes aren’t worth the so-called discrimination faced by transgender athletes at the hands of President Trump and the DOJ.

“The United States is targeting them just because [Trump] thinks it gains him political points or whatever,” she railed, “because this thing that he’s so worried about, it’s not real. It doesn’t affect the people that he’s trying to protect. It hurts them.”

“It’s boring, and it’s loser behavior,” she went on. “I have never felt unsafe around a trans person. I have felt unsafe around men.”

WATCH:

Walz, the governor of Minnesota, was a vociferous defender of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports while running for vice president last year. Before joining the Kamala Harris ticket, Walz signed a “trans refuge” bill into law, which allows student-athletes in Minnesota to play sports consistent with which gender they believe themselves to be. That effort appears to now be void under Trump’s executive order.
