Eric, Donald Trump‘s third eldest child, was speaking with Fox host Ainsley Earhardt about Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, the governor of Minnesota. Eric serves as an executive vice president of the Trump Organization and is active in his father’s presidential campaign.
Referring to Walz, Eric told Earhardt: “I don’t think you can restore your reputation by, you know, kind of haphazardly going in a field and pretending you’re a great hunter.”
He continued, “First of all, you’re going to look insincere. Second of all, you’re going to kind of look foolish because if you don’t do it all the time you can see it from a mile away.”
Walz has served as co-chair of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus and led the Democratic team in a sporting clays, trap, and skeet shootout in 2015, where he won the “Top Gun” Democrat Award. As governor, he has hosted such hunting events as the Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener and the Governor’s Pheasant Hunting Opener.
During the presidential campaign, Walz has mentioned his longtime hobby, saying during the vice presidential debate earlier this month, “I’m of an age where my shotgun was in my car so I could pheasant hunt after football practice.”
