    Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) was widely mocked for fumbling a common football term in a now-deleted social media post that showed the governor on a livestream playing a sports video game with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

    “@AOC can run a mean pick 6 — and I can call an audible on a play,” Walz wrote on X on Sunday while promoting a clip of him playing a video game of Madden on Twitch with the congresswoman in an effort to appeal to young male voters.

    Former President Donald Trump‘s campaign responded on X with mockery of the former high school football coach.

    “You’d think a so-called football coach would be aware that you don’t run a pick 6!” the campaign ripped Walz on Monday.

    Vance also jumped on the post, saying: “You don’t run a pick-six, you run the West Coast offense or the spread offense. It made me realize that even though they say Tim Walz was a football coach, I think I know more about football than Tim Walz. And it’s appropriate ’cause I think my running mate, Donald J. Trump, knows more about working at McDonald’s than Kamala Harris does.”
