Vice President Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), slammed Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) at a campaign event near the senator’s hometown on Saturday, saying that former President Trump’s running mate does not reflect the “integrity” of the people in the state.
“He is not a reflection on the integrity of the people of Ohio,” Walz said at an event on behalf of the Harris Victory Fund, according to NewsNation’s Jackie Koppell. Walz condemned the senator for saying he would not have certified the 2020 presidential election and for refusing to answer whether Trump lost that race during their vice presidential debate last week.
Walz also hit Trump and Vance for amplifying false claims that they made about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio eating residents’ pets. “So now, in the midst of a chaotic world and in the final days of a consequential presidential election, Donald Trump stood on at that debate stage and said, ’They are eating dogs. They are eating cats,’” Walz said, per Koppell.
“I understand where I’m standing in Ohio, that kind of stuff would be funny if it wasn’t so damn dangerous,” he added. City officials in Springfield have since called these claims “baseless.”
