By most objective reports, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance dealt Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz a decisive defeat during Tuesday night’s debate. And Walz being Walz, Minnesota’s clearly nervous governor delivered several demanding blows yourself.
None of Walz’s gaffes were more damaging than his “I was friends with school shooters” disaster.
Predictably, X users — including former President Donald Trump himself, who we’ll get to in a moment — posted eye-catching posts on social media. First, here’s Walz’s faux pas:
I became friends with school shooters. I saw it.
Oops.

Listen, I assume he meant to say, “I’ve become friends with school shooting victims,” but Walz is Walz, from his endless list of newly exposed lies to his penchant for saying the craziest things to Kamala Harris ‘ Candidacy buddy dug his own hole from the start.
Let the hilarity begin
One X user imagined Kamala’s first reaction to her vice president’s latest faux pas.

Another user imagined what JD Vance was thinking after Walz’s epic faux pas.
Damn, bro. I don’t think I would have said that.
Interestingly, Walz didn’t seem to notice his own faux pas.

Since even a majority, if not a majority, of left-wing media sockpuppets admitted that Vance won the debate, leave it to the hilarious CNN to turn the tables on a Vance win – even before the debate began.
Veteran Democrat and CNN contributor David Axelrod actually predicted that if JD won the debate, he wouldn’t just come across as “predatory” to the “innocent” Walz; but also that a victory would be bad for Trump-Vance.
You know, they have very different personalities. Vance is, you know, he’s a little bit predatory and waltzing on this debate platform, his strength is his warmth and his everydayness. It’s a bit like a Labrador versus a coyote. And the question is, people are cheering for the Labrador, but can he get enough of a beating to keep the coyote away from him?
As a commenter said elsewhere, JD is hardly a coyote; He is a wolf who stalks his prey.
