Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz attended the Michigan-Minnesota game on Saturday, and was subsequently slammed on social media for a post celebrating his home state’s rival hours after he was booed by college football fans. 

“I’ll always be a Minnesota guy. But after meeting some great people at the Big House, I must admit – Michiganders know how to host a good game day,” Walz posted to his X account following the game. 

Walz’s appearance at the game was underscored by a viral social media video showing college football fans booing his motorcade on Saturday as it made its way to the stadium. 

“VP Candidate Tim Walz p—ed off Michigan fans,” a TikTok user captioned the video that has racked up more than 1.5 million views on TikTok alone.

Michigan fans were seen booing, shouting “Tampon Tim” and “Get out of here” at the Minnesota governor. The fans allegedly began booing due to Walz’s security detail keeping fans in the rain for 30 minutes as he made his way through security, the New York Post reported.
