Tim Walz is being brutally mocked on social media after bizarre 'pick 6' comment about football in deleted tweet

The internet is mercilessly mocking Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over the Democrat's bizarre gaffe about football in a deleted tweet.

The tweet showed the Democratic vice presidential candidate playing the Madden football video game against Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, but it was his message that confused many.

'No one has ever used this phrase in football... Their entire campaign is a disaster.'

"@AOC can run a mean pick 6 - and I can call an audible on a play. And we both now that if you take the time to draw up a playbook, you're gonna use it," read the Walz tweet.

However, anyone with a modicum of football knowledge knows a "pick 6" is not a play that can be simply selected but depends on chance and opportunity. The campaign appeared to realize the mistake and deleted the tweet but not before screenshots were saved and went viral.

Many noted that Walz had been a high school football coach himself.

"Are we sure Tim Walz has even watched a game of football, let alone coached a team?" joked commentator Siraj Hashmi.

"All the Harris campaign needs to do to win the election is line up in a pick 6 formation. It's simple, just like teaching football," read another joke.

"I'm not sure Kamala ever worked at McDonald's and now I'm unsure if Walz ever coached football," responded commentator Mark Hemingway.

Others pointed out that it was likely a social media manager who fumbled the tweet, not Walz himself.

"I get it, interns run social media for these people, but I'm starting to believe Tim Walz didn't coach football either. No one has ever used this phrase in football. You can't 'run a mean pick 6'. Their entire campaign is a disaster," said T.J. Moe, BlazeTV contributor.

"I’m dubious Walz posted this himself. It’s THAT bad. He’s getting dunked on for it, but I can’t bring myself to believe a former assistant high school football coach would type that. Pretty funny, tho," read another response.

Walz has been hammered by numerous accusations that he exaggerated or outright lied about details of his life's story in order to climb the political ladder.
