Tim Walz hits JD Vance with a stunning Couch Burn

Newly appointed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz launched a series of fierce attacks against his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance, on Tuesday in his first appearance alongside Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

The Minnesota governor appeared with Harris in Pennsylvania, marking their first appearance together as running mates, as he stepped into a packed arena to loud cheers. The governor, a former teacher and football coach who grew up in rural Nebraska, quickly moved to cast himself as a true representative of Middle America, and he criticized Vance for claiming the same credentials.

“Like all the people I grew up with in the heartland, JD attended Yale,” Walz said. “Had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires and then wrote a bestseller that destroyed that community.”

“Come on! That’s not what Central America is.”

He then issued a crack about the now infamous but debunked story about Vance and furniture.

“I have to tell you, I can’t wait to debate him,” Walz said. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”

“See what I did there.”

The joke caused an uproar in the arena as Vice President Harris suppressed a smile, underscoring Walz’s role as a campaign attack dog prepared to defend Democrats against the Trump-Vance team.

“These guys are scary,” Walz continued Tuesday. “And yeah, just weird.”

“So we have 91 days,” the governor added. “My God, that’s easy. We will sleep when we are dead.’
