Making his debut as a vice presidential candidate on Tuesday, Tim Walz staked his claim to Middle American values and argued that former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are “weird” and “creepy as hell.”

Walz, the governor of Minnesota, also got the packed arena laughing with a reference to a meme about Vance having relations with a couch.

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

“In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make, even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves,” he said. “There’s a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.”

    You mean we can do more now than “Pokemon Go…to the polls!”?

      It’s about damn time. The difference between Hillary’s meme attempts and Walz’s is crazy. I’m not sure who handled them, whether it was the candidate or a team for each, but Walz’s are so much better it’s insane. Chillin in cedar rapids and Pokemon go were so hard to watch. I know an election like this so much more than that, but get with the times if you rely on a younger voting pool. Walz’s reminds me of Biden VP memes to a certain extent. Maybe more timeless and less fad based. Not sure but seems much more genuine this time.
