Earlier this week, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz appeared on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast. Walz said the following about MAGA Republicans…

“I think I could kick most of their ass. I don’t know if I could outrun them, but I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we want to, okay we challenge you to a WWE fight here.”

Knox County, TN Mayor Glenn Jacobs, known to wrestling fans as Kane, issued a response to Walz…

“All joking aside, @GovTimWalz, let’s put our money where our mouth is…in a charity wrestling match. We’ll split the gate 50/50 between our chosen organizations. I’ll kick things off myself with a $10,000 donation. What do you say?”

Jacobs later wrote, “We already have close to $50K in pledges and a corporate title sponsor! C’mon, @GovTimWalz, let’s raise some money for a good cause!” Jacobs then posted the message “Still waiting” with an image of a clock.
