Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday and Republicans are making their thoughts heard.

Party voices have called Walz everything from weird to an extreme socialist. Among the many to comment on Walz was Donald Trump's Campaign Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. She put out a statement about Harris' choice for a vice presidential running mate, calling him a "West Coast wannabe."

According to Trump's official website, this is the statement they released on Waltz:

"It's no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate – Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota in the image of the Golden State. While Walz pretends to support Americans in the Heartland, when the cameras are off, he believes that rural America is 'mostly cows and rocks'. From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California's dangerously liberal agenda far and wide. If Walz won't tell voters the truth, we will: just like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz is a dangerously liberal extremist, and the Harris-Walz California dream is every American's nightmare."

Here are some other reactions from Republicans on her veep pick:
