That’s because of a claim she made in announcing the campaign that many people on social media found dubious. “I’m running for U.S. Senate to bring that experience to Washington and deliver the real results Minnesota deserves,” she wrote on the X post featuring a campaign video.
Tafoya appeared to equate asking NFL coaches a couple of questions while they are walking to the locker room as real training for governance, as she boasted in the video’s voiceover:
“For years, I covered the biggest football games in America. I walked the sidelines when the pressure was mounting and the stakes were the highest, that job taught me about more than football. It taught me about how leadership really works.”
For some reason, many people on social media weren’t convinced that watching football games on the sidelines is really the best preparation for representing a state in the U.S. Senate.
And, in answer to your next question, yes, Tafoya was mercilessly ridiculed.
Although Democrats have controlled both of Minnesota’s U.S. Senate seats since 2009, Tafoya’s candidacy could improve the odds for the GOP, according to MPR News.
Several candidates will be competing with Tafoya for the GOP nomination, but no one else has her national profile.
