JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, responded sharply to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s remarks calling Republicans “weird” and “creepy,” and branded Walz as a “schoolyard bully.”
Vance argued that the criticism reflects a Democratic attempt to deflect from their own policy shortcomings.
“It drives home how they’re trying to distract from their own policy failures. I mean, look, this is fundamentally schoolyard bully stuff,” Vance told CNN host Dana Bash in an interview.
“I’m doing this because I think that me being vice president will help improve people’s lives, so I accept their attacks, but I think that it is a little bit of projection,” Vance said.
During the interview, Vance also remarked that Harris and her running mate “aren’t comfortable in their own skin.”
“I think what it is, is two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who aren’t comfortable in their own skin, because they’re uncomfortable with their policy positions for the American people,” he noted.
“And so they’re name-calling instead of actually telling the American people how they’re going to make their lives better. I think that’s weird, Dana, but look, they can call me whatever they want to,” Vance added.
Ohio Senator Vance, was selected by Republican presidential candidate and former US president Donald Trump as his running mate for the upcoming 2024 election in November.
Last week, Walz, speaking at his first campaign event as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in Philadelphia, called Vance and Trump as “creepy” and “weird as hell.”
“I just have to say it. You know it. You feel it. These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell. That’s what you see,” Walz said.
