When reporters asked Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) how hes preparing for the October 1 vice presidential debate against Democratic nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vance replied, I have a friend who embellishes and lies a lot, Im having him stand in for Tim Walz.Naturally, Vances attempt at an insult didnt land as intended with online commenters, particularly because his running mate, former President Donald Trump, is a notorious liar who told an estimated 30,573 lies over his four years in office and an estimated 162 lies and distortions during a recent 64-minute news conference. Related Barack & Michelle Obama blast Trump & offer hope in second night of DNC speeches Obama called Trump a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago. Numerous commenters remarked that he must be practicing with Trump himself. One commenter referred to Vance as JV, as in junior varsity, a reference to Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris August 6 comment that a matchup between Walz and Vance is like a matchup between the varsity team and the JV squad.

Fred Fella (@FredFellaIMO) August 20, 2024Got it. Bad judge of character Surrounds himself with liars Has nothing to offer America Is extremely weird Cory Legendre (@corylegendre) August 20, 2024Yeah, we know. Your boss is famous for those qualities. So blowing off preparing entirely. Makes sense, giving most cringe answers ever to softball questions is pretty much on brand by this point. Kirsten L. Schneider (blue-check cuz word limits) (@leaferi) August 20, 2024This featherweight would have to go on a lifetime of political weight gain in order to stay in the ring with Walz. How can you compare a lifetime of political heavyweight training-with executive decision-making-to this still awith wetness behind his ears? Man versus babe.

He's the ber dork who puts on masks to fit in. Is the real him that bad that he can't be himself? Must be exhausting trying to fit in and please the devil.
