Tim Walz Says He Looks Forward to Debating JD Vance If He’ll ‘Get Off the Couch’

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.”

I think that Vance got chosen because it'd be the fewest letters you'd have to change on your Trump pence 2020 flag

PEVANCE

No joke, I think Trump thinks single-syllable names are more powerful, and ruled out anyone with more than one syllable in their name.

That and Nikki Haley is an Indian woman. That would be awkward considering how Trump talks about Harris.

Alternate theory: he won’t run with anyone who has more letters in their name than him, because their name would take up more room on the signage.
