Sen. J.D. Vance Criticizes Harris and Walz

Sen. J.D. Vance attacked Vice President Kamala Harris‘s and Tim Walz‘s addresses at the Democratic National Convention during a campaign stop in Big Rapids, Michigan, a battleground state that will help decide the presidential election.

After claiming that rally attendees were smart for not watching the vice president’s convention speech, Vance accused Walz of lying about his record.

“Now, Kamala Harris said, ‘When we fight, we win.’ This is one of her favorite taglines,” Vance said. “I don’t know if you saw, but then, Tim Walz stood up and shouted, ‘And even when we don’t fight’, … that’s what Tim Walz said. Now, he lies about everything, of course.”

The Ohio senator then rejected Walz’s repeated claims that the GOP is “weird” before delving into Walz’s background as a veteran and his story about how his children were conceived.

Walz also faced criticism for claiming that his children were conceived through in vitro fertilization.

“That’s just the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. He said he served in combat, but the closest Tim Walz ever came to combat is when he let rioters burn Minneapolis to the ground and did absolutely nothing to stop it.”

Walz has faced attacks on his inaccurate claims that he retired as a command sergeant major.

Vance has seized upon the governor’s lax comments on his military background, accusing him of “stolen valor” after Walz spent 24 years in the Army National Guard before his 2005 retirement ahead of his unit deploying to Iraq.

Asked about the possible role Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would serve on Trump's team Vance hinted that he could at some point be involved with issues surrounding health.

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who abandoned his campaign last week and endorsed Republican Donald Trump, said he was asked to be on the former president's transition team if Trump wins the Nov. 5 election.
