Journalist Megyn Kelly made ‘Tampon Tim‘, a nickname for Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz, trend on X but it mostly backfired as social media users said it is a badge of honor for the Minnesota Gov. Tim signed a bill last year requiring schools in the state to provide free menstrual products in all public school bathrooms. The bill said feminine hygiene products would be placed in boys’ bathrooms as well — which made Tim Walz a kind of laughing stock to the Republicans.
But social media users simply crushed Megyn Kelly for the Tampon Tim jab. “As a girl dad, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped feminine hygiene products off at school because they were needed unexpectedly and not provided. Calling him Tampon Tim should be a badge of honor,” a social media user wrote.

“He’s Tampon Tim because he passed a bill to make life easier for many young women. “Tampon” isn’t bad word. And Tampon Tim is a nickname they gave him for something he did for young American women, regardless of their political stance. Remember this,” another wrote.
“When y’all call him Tampon Tim, all I hear is that you think it’s funny he’s helping school girls navigate what can be a pretty stressful and sometimes embarrassing but perfectly normal part of life. You think helping us is funny. And that makes sense. Because you’re the same crowd who’d rather we have maternity care as a pre-teen than menstrual products. And again. Makes total sense. So keep going. We see you. We hear you,” another wrote.
Hillary Clinton also clapped back to the Tampon Tim trend and said it was nice of the Trump camp to help publicize Tim Walz. “How nice of the Trump camp to help publicize Gov. Tim Walz’s compassionate and common-sense policy of providing free menstrual products top students in Minnesota public schools! Let’s do this everywhere,” Hillary wrote.
“Does MAGA not understand #TamponTim isn’t an insult? When did a Man making sure young girls aren’t bleeding through their clothes at school become a problem? You mean he doesn’t want them embarrassed & able to focus in class? You clowns put them on your ears a few weeks ago,” a comment read.
