Republicans from the rural coal-mining community of Somerset County cheered on JD Vance, while mocking Tim Walz as resembling Jerry Sandusky.

Pennsylvania Ping!

Please ping me with articles of interest.

FReepmail me to be added to the list.

Did Walz lie about his son being in a room with a school shooting?

[1Old Pro]

“In my opinion, his likability skyrocketed,” he said of Vance. “In particular, among women.

100% true, and that was his goal for the night, he wildly succeeded.

[Tench_Coxe]

Yeah, I started laughing at the Jerry Sandusky observation. Not exactly the best reference.

[Alberta's Child]

"The comment at our table was that when he turned his face sideways, he looked like Jerry Sandusky," Berkebile said of Walz, comparing his appearance to that of the retired Penn State Nittany Lions defensive coordinator later convicted and jailed for molesting multiple young boys.

LMAO.

The rural PA voters support Trump, we need some common sense coming from places like Philly, Pittsburg, etc.

[lightman]

Yeah, I started laughing at the Jerry Sandusky observation. Not exactly the best reference.

We always knew there was something creepy about Timpon.

[PA Presbyterian]

His school shooting claim sounded phony to me. Why hasn’t that been mentioned before as Harris and Watz have blamed Republicans for “gun violence?” It’s a major issue to beat Republicans over the head with.

The man lies reflexively and habitually, or he exaggerates his qualifications, e.g., military record, etc.

Okay, Republicans, research this. I’ll bet it’s another lie, and if it is, the Harris-Walz candidacy is toast.

[j.havenfarm]

Well, he’s now a self-professed knucklehead, so what do you expect?

[stevio]

Walz, deer-in-the-headlights? More like crazy eyes as when he yanked his poor son on stage. 🤪

I thought it was amusing, with a candidate like Harris, that the Leftists view Vance as “smarmy”.

I suppose for good reason, they have never looked in a mirror…

[Sacajaweau]

I rarely say something bad about myself...although at 80, I seem to be getting kinda lazy.

[1Old Pro]

I thought it was amusing, with a candidate like Harris, that the Leftists view Vance as “smarmy”.

They're upset that he connected with white suburban women.

[Bob434]

Walz was too busy playing tic tac toe on the sheet of paper in front of him.

I 3xpect the enemies today will be of Walz writing something on the paper lol

[j.havenfarm]

I’ll admit a little laziness myself. I’m willing to admit it because my humility is my greatest virtue

[Sacajaweau]

I'm still working on what my greatest virtue is. It surely isn't humility though...lol......probably patience.

Right now, I'm trying to get my Amazon account re-instated. I pray for patience.

[RebelTXRose]

OR - trying to listen to the voice in his ear....

comment from PA debate watch party with 1st hand knowledge:

****************

So much so, the one-time junior high-school assistant football coach reminded people at Berkebile’s table of another now-infamous coach from Pennsylvania.

“The comment at our table was that when he turned his face sideways, he looked like Jerry Sandusky,” Berkebile said of Walz, comparing his appearance to that of the retired Penn State Nittany Lions defensive coordinator later convicted and jailed for molesting multiple young boys.

I hope these rural folks turn out in big numbers for us.
