Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz this week made a self-deprecating joke about liking "white guy tacos" without much seasoning -- and many top conservative influencers are furious.
Many right-wing influencers did not see humor in the exchange, however, and they accused Walz and Harris of engaging in anti-white bigotry.
"Crazy that a presidential candidate can just casually let out some blatant anti-white racism and nobody cares," complained The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh. "Imagine if Donald Trump said that a 'black guy taco' was made with fried chicken and watermelon. Nuclear meltdown."
The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro also registered his objection.
"See, folks, it's funny that white people hate spices!" he wrote sarcastically. "Not racist at all! Just funny! (FACT CHECK: Europeans liked spices so much that they literally got involved in several hundred years of war in order to determine control of the spice trade.)"
MAGA influencer Mike Cernovich did some detective work and discovered that Walz had at one time made a taco recipe that featured spices including paprika and chili powder, which he suggested shows "Tim Walz is lying about how people in Minnesota dont season their food."

Hubby grew up eating the brains. (Barbacoa and Big Red) Yeah, now it's probably cheeks. But you gotta be careful.

Actually, that Old El Paso original taco seasoning might be a bit much for the Midwestern palate.

They don't understand joke immunity: you have it if you're a member of the group you're joking about.
