…

“He [Trump] is still saying he didn’t lose the election,” pointed out Walz, before asking Vance, “Did he lose the 2020 election?”

Vance refused to answer, instead replying, “Tim, I’m focused on the future. Did Kamala Harris censor Americans from speaking their mind in the wake of the 2020 Covid situation?”

“That is a damning non-answer,” Walz concluded.

"Hey! This guy murdered a child!"

"Ugh, would you stop living in the past?"

I really wanted a "I'm focused on the future" retort from Walz.

Best line of the debate in my opinion

That and his quip "pass the bill" when Vance was complaining about immigration

It was a boring debate that would have made almost no news if it weren’t for this bit. I can’t wait for Walz’s face to start trending.

Panic

I’m not mad, just disappointed

Let's be honest for 1 moment. Is Vance guilty of Treason. After this non-response, Absolutely Yes.

"Reject censorship!" cried the candidate of the party banning books in school libraries left and right.

Typical "stop bringing up the past" when he has an indefensible position. Used it a few times tonight. Maybe focus on not being a liar, man who made up facts (lies) to whip up immigrant fear which turned into terrorism. Sure, we can trust you... You don't even take responsibility for the mess you created! Now he wants us all to shut up about his and Trump's lies about this election and the last election, again to the tune of terrorism and police officers dead at the hands of MAGA. There is only one candidate that believes in democracy and that's Harris. Trump wants to take away every woman's right to choose on the matter of abortion. There is only one candidate for FREEDOM. And that's the team of HARRIS/WALZ! (Trump = Terrorism)

This is the moment of the debate to meme.

Ignore that other one with a bunch of topics. Jan 6th is a simple issue and JD Vance fucked this up.

And credit to Walz for succinctly calling it out. If he didn't, most of the news coverage would have glazed right passed it
