Not sure how much more than a laughingstock there is. Let's see what the article is saying..... Oh, his love for Mao... Yeah, I get it now.

In the wake of his disastrous debate performance, Tim Walz has become a laughingstock. That is appropriate. But the relatively benign view expressed by CNN–Walz is a nice guy, but an incompetent governor–doesn’t tell one-quarter of the story. The reality is far worse.
I don’t suppose Walz is actually the Manchurian Candidate, but his admiration for Communist China is both obvious and bizarre. Who, after all, would choose the China of 1994 as a honeymoon destination? And go there another 30 times? Walz now says he “misspoke” when he said he had been to China 30 times, and it wasn’t actually that many. Walz “misspeaks” a lot.
But we don’t have to draw inferences from Walz’s love affair with America’s number one rival to understand that Walz is anti-American. Consider, rather, his appointment of left-wing extremist Brian Lozenski to head up a restructuring of K-12 education in Minnesota. This is under the guise of “Ethnic Studies,” a purported academic discipline that now, as a matter of law, is to be inserted into every class, in every grade starting in kindergarten, in every public school in Minnesota. Lozenski is the guru of Ethnic Studies, having been involved in that effort in California, and now, by virtue of Walz’s appointment, leading the Ethnic Studies movement in Minnesota.
What, according to Lozenski, is Ethnic Studies all about? I quoted Lozenski here. In Lozenski’s telling, “Ethnic Studies” means hating Israel and the United States:

The Great Satan and the Little Satan, the only two “settler colonialist” nations: that is what the Iranian mullahs preached, and what Tim Walz evidently believes. Or at least what he wants kindergarteners in Minnesota to believe. More here.
