As the vice president introduced her new running mate at an energetic rally in Philadelphia, he quickly demonstrated his ability to deliver searing attacks against Donald Trump and JD Vance.

America’s introduction to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota began with a half-hour of cheering for Vice President Kamala Harris and ended with some of the sharpest attacks Democrats have leveled against former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio.

Before a raucous crowd in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz presented the Minnesotan as a folksy former schoolteacher and football coach who had inspired his students, served in the military and improved his constituents’ lives.

But it was his ability to deliver searing yet accessible attacks against their Republican opponents that won Mr. Walz a place on the national ticket, and during his first rally, he did not miss his marks.

“Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us,” he said. “First of all, he doesn’t know the first thing about service. He doesn’t have time for it because he’s too busy serving himself.”

Then came the dagger. “Violent crime was up under Donald Trump,” he said, before pausing for effect. “That’s not even counting the crimes he committed.”

    No. Stop. None of this “well just look at the state of things” vague crap. Find me. A real. Example. You won’t be able to because they don’t exist. People don’t act that way, even the crazy fucking right. Unhinged attacks and baseless claims on others? Sure. On themselves? Doesn’t happen.

    It’s like you seriously don’t even consider what makes sense in reality, you just want to eat up whatever bs conforms to your biases. It’s like if you saw a screenshot of a tweet reporting that someone you don’t like made a statement saying something like “I’m a big old poop brain and I LOOOOVE sniffing fresh farts!” you wouldn’t even question it. Use your head.
