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.”

    It’s been su-chez long time since I’ve giggled this much over a political soundbite

      Same, I heard this quote and was like, imagine if Biden didn’t withdraw and we didn’t get this. In truth I think a lot of people have been waiting a long time to hear people in power to speak plainly and directly about how strange these conservatives are.
