Several X users have likened Walz to Elmer Fudd from the cartoon Looney Tunes. According to Looney Tunes Wiki, Elmer J. Fudd is a notable character who serves as the adversary of the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes theatrical cartoons. He frequently appears as the archenemy of Bugs Bunny, whom he always tries to pursue. But in the end, both his own credulity and Bugs' sly moves would take him by surprise.

“What a joke. You’d think he’d at least practice before this photo op," another wrote.

Walz, who was once rewarded top rating from the National Rifle Association during his tenure in Congress for 12 years, started advocating for stringent gun control laws.

While serving as the representative for a rural Minnesota district from 2007 to 2019, Walz initially took more conservative positions, receiving "A" ratings from the National Rifle Association (NRA). However, Walz disassociated himself from the NRA following the mass Las Vegas shooting in 2017.
