Tim Walz's daughter blasts running influencer for 'normalizing' Trump administration with White House visit

Kate Mackz, a running TikToker with 783,000 followers, interviews celebrities, often while taking a jog, for her online series "Post Run High." She's interviewed well-known Democrats before, including Tim Walz in a video posted two weeks before the November election.

"Running as an act is political. And you know who told me that? Tim Walz," Walz, 24, said. "Running is a privilege and being part of the running community is a privilege that not all people have access to." 

Walz went on to say it was "insulting to her dad" to keep the interview with Walz pinned to the top of Mackz page, when he "stands for quite literally the opposite of what this administration is doing."

"You don't get to 'both sides' this," Walz scolded. "We are quite literally talking about good versus evil here, and I'm just really disappointed the whole thing happened."

Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren argued that running was one of the few sports that's readily available to most people before calling Walz's larger message, that young people shouldn't engage with those they disagree with politically, the most "damaging."

"That's your positive message for Gen Z?" she asked. 

"Where she loses me is when she gets into this is good versus evil," co-host Kayleigh McEnany added, calling Leavitt "one of the nicest people on planet earth."

"Maybe she can encourage Hope Walz to run from the microphone because I'm sick of listening to her," fellow co-host Emily Compagno quipped.

Mackz did not respond to a request for comment.
