Tim Walz says he looks forward to debating JD Vance if he’ll ‘get off the couch’
Tim Walz made a couch joke about JD Vance and staked his claim to Middle American values in his vice presidential debut.
Making his debut as a vice presidential candidate on Tuesday, Tim Walz staked his claim to Middle American values and argued that former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are “weird” and “creepy as hell.”
Walz, the governor of Minnesota, also got the packed arena laughing with a reference to a meme about Vance having relations with a couch.
“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
…
“In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make, even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves,” he said. “There’s a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.”
Whats happening. The dems are bantering. This isn't how this works, they're supposed to roll over and disappoint us. They know that. That's been their entire strategy. Is this what optimism feels like?
I've always hated how Dems try to keep decorum and fight with one arm tied behind their back, while Republicans shit sling and fight dirty. I'm glad Dems are finally growing some balls and calling out these idiots with their own attack strategies
And yet, unlike Republicans, they aren't resorting to dirty tricks and grotesque lies. It's really nice to see this middle ground where they aren't just sucking it up but they also aren't going down to the Republicans' level.
"when they go low, we kick them in the nuts, respectfully"
I don't remember Kamala being this way when she was campaigning in 2020. It seems she's fucking fed up with the GOP's bullshit like the rest of us.
I don't think he's fighting dirty. He's just being clever and on the attack. Using their own attack strategies would be using racial slurs, political violence, and theocratic-fascist dog whistles. Harris and Waltz are just punking them, and it's great.
It really highlights how decrepit and often inept the Biden campaign was.
You mean we can do more now than "Pokemon Go...to the polls!"?
It's about damn time. The difference between Hillary's meme attempts and Walz's is crazy. I'm not sure who handled them, whether it was the candidate or a team for each, but Walz's are so much better it's insane. Chillin in cedar rapids and Pokemon go were so hard to watch. I know an election like this so much more than that, but get with the times if you rely on a younger voting pool. Walz's reminds me of Biden VP memes to a certain extent. Maybe more timeless and less fad based. Not sure but seems much more genuine this time.

He is a sassy bitch and i love it. This is how you handle these freaks.
Oh this is sofa king funny
It’s been su-chez long time since I’ve giggled this much over a political soundbite
Same, I heard this quote and was like, imagine if Biden didn't withdraw and we didn't get this. In truth I think a lot of people have been waiting a long time to hear people in power to speak plainly and directly about how strange these conservatives are.
the first thing that came to my mind too
GOP's collective brain cell might implode over whether to be sad that walz is savagely roasting their guy, or wtf to even do, because they hate vance too
JD reminds me of a dumber Eric Trump if that is even possible.
When I first saw the ticket together, I thought Vance was chosen because they were able to convince Donald Trump that Vance was one of his kids after all. Trump did get around back in the day, maybe JD's mom was a Miss America contestant or something.
But it's also likely that Trump's brain is mush, and he is convinced Vance is Eric Trump with a beard.
I completely lost it when he said that. 😂
I released several dying bird noises. It was lovely.
Exhaled somewhat more forcefully that usual
Hearing an entire stadium lose it was genuinely entertaining.
JD Vance: "This is an immature lie. We would never target the sexuality of other people in such a demeaning fashion. I am a Christian man, and I have only had reproductive sex with my Indian wife, who may not look like a proper American but that is not a problem because she is, believe me. The lie needs to stop, we would never lie."
(God I hope this happens. I really do)
Vance 100% likes it up the ass
I loved watching this speech not only for Walz, but also for Kamala's proud face and reactions. She knows she made the best possible choice, and her happiness was palapable.
OMG, this is so GD funny.
Someone please make sure JD knows that Walz said “get off the couch” and not “get the couch off”.
Feel the burn.
I'm thinking this is going to cause friction on the GOP side.
"Apologies, I misspoke. If he's willing to get off on the couch."
Have to admit this is quite funny.
Shots fired.
He was a command sergeant major, he doesn't miss when he takes a shot.
That sounds like a made up rank.
Trump and Vance have no problems with slinging petty insults constantly. It's good to see the Dems hit back like this. Call the bastards what they are.
