"Vance is such a sleazy, oily, adept liar."
If you didn’t watch tonight’s debate, this is all you need to know:
JD Vance’s solution to the mass killing of school children is “stronger windows.”
Not one child has ever been shot through a school window. Not one killer ever climbed through a window to get into a school. Not one report after a mass shooting at a school has even mentioned windows.
That is how far JD Vance went in the opposite direction of the thing that caused the death of every child killed in every single school shooting: guns.
Let us recount just a few more of JD Vance’s many lies during the debate:
Asked how he would protect people with pre-existing health conditions, Vance answered, “We already have a law that does that” without acknowledging that the law is Obamacare.
Vance said that Donald Trump “saved” the Affordable Care Act. Trump backed 70 attempts by Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act and said if elected he would “end it on day one.”
Vance said January 6 was not a threat to democracy. Censorship, somehow attributable to Kamala Harris, “is the threat to democracy we should be talking about.”
Vance claimed that the housing crisis is caused by “25 million illegal aliens” driving up the cost of housing.
The country that during the Biden-Harris administration produced the largest quantity of oil and natural gas in the world “needs more drilling,” according to Vance.
JD Vance claimed to have “never” supported a national ban on abortions. Vance told an interviewer in 2022 that he would “certainly like abortion to be illegal nationally.” Vance went on to say that the problem Republicans have on the abortion issue is, “We’ve got to get better at our message of supporting women.”
By refusing to answer a question asking him whether he believes climate change is a “hoax,” Vance confirmed that he believes it is.
Vance talked over the moderators to push his lie that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are here illegally. Not only did he get the law wrong, but the law he cited was passed and signed by Donald Trump.
Asked by Tim Walz if he believed that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, Vance answered, “Tim, I am focused on the future,” and said Kamala Harris had censored people “during COVID.”
Vance lied when he said that guns are “coming into this country from Mexican drug cartels.” It is just the opposite: drug cartels regularly smuggle American firearms into Mexico because they have such strict gun laws in that country the cartels can’t get them there.
My wife Tracy turned to me about halfway through the debate and sighed, “Vance is a such a sleazy, oily, adept liar.”
‘Nuff said.
Linda and I looked at each other also and, well we decided to tough it out, just because. Our jaws got sore just dropping to our chests as Vance screamed how Kamala's "policy"was allowing millions of criminal gun toting illeagals in over the Southern border as an answer to almost every question. Whew!
After the debate, which we watched on MSNBC with Rachel, she cut to a fellow in a contested county in Michigan, I think, who was leading a debate watch party of sorts with a room full of high schoolers who he introduced and asked questions about the debate. They picked Vance to schreads and one burly Black kid was called on to say what he thought about Harris' policy that let in all the imigrants and he laughed loudly as he said that anyone who took high school civics would know that any vice president would have no such authority and that it was up tp congress to set such policy. When they cut back to the studio, Jen Paski says to Rachel "I want to hire that kid as an intern!"
If a large group of random high schoolers see straight through it, perhaps we have a chance.
Yeah, I watched the debate! Even a child would not respond that having stronger windows would deter shooters! Silly!
He just lied better than Trump and said it was a peaceful transition January 20 and didn’t acknowledge January 6 at all! Finally, he wouldn’t state that Trump lost the election in 2020!
I don’t believe this debate will change any minds! What does everyone think?
I mailed my 145 letters today to encourage people to vote in Swing States and going to write 20 more! Which swing state do you believe I need to write more letters?
Heading to sleep now. 💤
