Fans boo Tim Walz as he leaves Michigan-Minnesota game: “Get out of here!”

A tough afternoon for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz just got tougher.

Vice President Kamala Harris' vice president attended the Minnesota-Michigan game in Ann Arbor on Saturday, watching the action from a suite with former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke.

The Golden Gophers trailed by as many as 17 points early but staged a late comeback by scoring three touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

However, it was too little, too late, and the defending champions, ranked 12th, won 27:24.

When it was time for Walz to leave the Big House, fans waited outside and said a harsh goodbye to him.

Several people in attendance booed him, and another fan even shouted, “Get out of here.”

WARNING: NSFW LANGUAGE

Minnesota cut the game to a three-point game with 1:36 left and recovered an onside kick, but a special teams player was offside, negating the play, and the Wolverines ran out of time.

“A little rain can’t stop us from the big Michigan-Minnesota game! And it won’t stop these students from making sure everyone on their campus is eligible to vote,” Walz posted on X.
