The vice presidential candidates from the two major U.S. political parties have already descended into name-calling, with Republican J.D. Vance saying Sunday on CNN that Democrat Tim Walz is the one who's weird after Walz called Vance weird first.

Vance pointed to Walz shaking his wife's hand onstage at the rally in Philadelphia where Walz was named as Harris's running mate, then awkwardly hugging her as evidence of Walz's weirdness.

“Tim Walz gave his wife a nice, firm Midwestern handshake, and then tried to sort of awkwardly correct for it,” Vance said.

“I think what it is, is two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who aren’t comfortable in their own skin, because they’re uncomfortable with their policy positions for the American people,” he said. “And so they’re name-calling instead of actually telling the American people how they’re going to make their lives better. I think that’s weird, Dana, but look, they can call me whatever they want to.”

"Acted weird"

Vance then proceeded to say that Vance “acted weird, which he did, on a national stage in front of his wife.”

The label "weird" was in response to an MSNBC interview by Walz weeks before he was selected as Harris's running mate, in which he called Trump and Vance "just weird."

Walz was saying Vance was weird in particular because of a 2021 comment that the media resurrected in which Vance lamented that the government was being run by "childless cat ladies" who were out of touch with the needs of parents.

But Walz has radical views on abortion, violent protests, and other policies that most mainstream Americans would find quite weird.

"Everything is scripted"

Vance also cast Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris as a political chameleon after questioning why she said she was Black after focusing on her Indian heritage previously.

In addition to the racial identity switch, Harris seems to be hiding herself and her policy positions from the public.

“She’s not running a political campaign. She’s running a movie. She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter. Everything is scripted. She doesn’t have her policy positions out there,” Vance said.

Harris has been criticized for her entire term as vice president for talking in "word salad" and making almost as many gaffes as President Joe Biden at age 82 (Harris is 59).

It's not surprising that she is being kept on a tight leash by her handlers.

As soon as they give her free rein, she will expose her inept true self and no one will want to vote for her. Maybe it'll happen during the debate in September.
