JD Vance had his microphone muted by moderators at the vice presidential debate after a row broke out between him and the hosts over the legal status of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.
Migration in the city has become an unlikely flashpoint during this campaign, after Donald Trump claimed that immigrants were “eating cats and dogs” owned by residents.
On Tuesday, Mr Vance said that Americans “have had their lives destroyed by Kamala Harris’s open border”, citing overcrowded schools and hospitals, but did not repeat the claim about pets.
One of the CBS moderators added: “Just to clarify for our viewers: Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status”.
A row then broke out over the legal status of the migrants, with Mr Vance claiming that they had used a specific form to stay in the US, rather than a green card. As Tim Walz, his opponent, got involved in the argument, both of their microphones were muted.
JD VANCE is like a smooth talking snake oil salesman whose only agenda is MEIN FUHRER is the best. Vote for him and you won’t have to worry about about voting anymore.

I wish they wouldn’t have cut his mic. His veil slipped there. Most of the debate he was just creepy Handmaids Tale Commander. But if you don’t anything about him, you might think he’s a reasonable person.

I’m not watching but I see it’s going well for the democrats

Vance is infuriating to watch he’s so confidently wrong it drives me crazy. The guy appeals to smooth brains but any educated person can see right through him

Boomer here. I still heard his dumb ass talking and I don’t have hearing aids.

Honestly, this is kind of refreshing to watch them being civil to each other. This is how it fucking should be. The republicans can be weird and wrong but the hate and division is so unnecessary and I can’t wait for that shit to be over

There’s actually some respectful and human interactions between JD and Tim. We have never seen that from Donald Trump

Ask Vance why he thinks dump needed to find a new VP.

Apparently fact checking is a bad thing according Vance 😂

To be fair they shut his off first then also shut off Walz. It was however due to Vance’s outburst.

Did this lady just list off the things that happened after the 2020 election and not mention the litany of indictments? Fucking ridiculous.

I think Vance used to be more human, but his ambition won out.
polarwaves on
He’s a great smooth talker who says a lot without actually answering any questions.

Vance literally can’t say Trump lost the 2020 election. What a colossal piece of shit

Vance is so fucking smug its infuriating

I hope this past storm reminds Texas of how Cruz walked away and went to Cancun, when his own constituents were suffering. That’s quite a betrayal.

I already voted and still watched the debate tonight. Vance was sharper than Trump but spewed the same lies. Scary shit this year.
shep2105 on
Jesus…he just would not shut up with that shitload of lies. Unbelievable, and that app that all those supposed illegals came here on? Started under TRUMP
Could not say trump didn’t win
Would not say that climate change wasn’t a hoax
Would you separate children, even American children from their parents? Wouldn’t answer
Flat out lied that he never supported a national abortion ban. It’s on his fucking website for Gods sake.
VOTE people!!

Vance also just suggested that undocumented immigrants are the reason school shootings happen.
🤦

“You promised not to fact check me.”
This should be a key highlight from the debate. What a weak comment that tells you EXACTLY all you ever need to know about JD Vance and by extension Trump.

Vance talking over the moderators and mansplaining is the second he lost the debate

I hate Vance and a lot of his answers were either lies or completely out of step with his party’s actual goals/platform.
But I think he did really well in terms of generating good clips to convince people he is actually a human.

I can’t even watch. I’m so exhausted of the lies and bullshit.

It was admirable the way JD Vance admitted to the couch accusations. I didn’t think he was going to do it.
Fiveofthem on
He lost the debate when he would not admit that Trump lost the 2020 election.

Which honestly should’ve been muted 5 seconds into that tirade. It wasn’t his turn and he just started talking.

Took like 30 seconds for them to hit the button.
