Democratic vice-presidential candidate calls opponent a ‘slick talker’ in first comments on Tuesday’s televised clash
The day after the only vice-presidential debate this year, Democrat Tim Walz called his Republican challenger, JD Vance, a “slick talker” who was trying to rewrite history and gaslight people about Donald Trump’s record.
During a rally in York, Pennsylvania, Walz made his first public comments on the debate, which polls show was essentially a tie between the two vice-presidential candidates. The Minnesota governor was on a tour through the swing state on Wednesday.
Walz said the two men “had a civil but spirited debate” and that he didn’t underestimate Vance’s debate skills.
But, he added: “You can’t rewrite history and trying to mislead us about Donald Trump’s record. That’s gaslighting. That’s gaslighting, on the economy, reproductive freedom, housing, gun violence.”

Is ‘gaslighting’ even a clinical term? Can you demonstrate this, please?
I do no care enough to do that for you, all I know is it started as a colloquialism that was adopted as a clinical term because of how useful it is and then re-entered popculture again in 2022. We lost a useful term.
I can tell you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing by the way. You don’t give a shit about any of this. Very Reddity
None of my searching shows it to be a clinical term. I think you just made that up.
