Tim Walz Hits JD Vance With A Jaw-Dropping Couch Burn

Newly minted vice presidential candidate Tim Walz  issued a string of fierce attacks against his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance, during his first appearance alongside Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris on Tuesday.

The Minnesota governor appeared with Harris in Pennsylvania, marking their first appearance together as running mates, stepping out in a packed arena to raucous cheers. The governor, a former teacher and football coach who grew up in rural Nebraska, quickly moved to cast himself as a true representative of Middle America, and he criticized Vance for claiming the same credentials.

Like all people I grew up with in the heartland, JD studied at Yale, Walz said. Had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community.

Come on! Thats not what Middle America is.

He then issued a crack about the now-infamous but debunked  story about Vance and furniture.

I gotta tell you, I cant wait to debate the guy, Walz said. That is if hes willing to get off the couch and show up.

See what I did there.

The joke sparked an uproar in the arena as Vice President Harris suppressed a smile, minting Walzs role as a campaign attack dog willing to defend Democrats against the Trump-Vance team.

These guys are creepy, Walz went on on Tuesday. And yes, just weird as hell.

So we got 91 days, the governor added. My God, thats easy. Well sleep when were dead.
