Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reportedly told Vice President Kamala Harris that he was a weak debater when the two spoke as part of the running mate vetting process earlier this year.

Harris, who later claimed to have been sleep-deprived at the time, picked the 60-year-old as her VP hopeful anyway.

On Tuesday evening, Walz’s debate skills were put to the test by Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) — and widely panned by pundits across the political spectrum, who zinged the governor for seeming unprepared and acting nervous and fidgety.

He should have included the fact that he was also a pathological liar.

People questioned Biden for selecting Harris, yet we all know how that election turned out (pointing to Inauguration Day).

Kamala isn’t good at choosing men. Her cabinet would be a disaster — but maybe Taylor Swift can help her with some input.

You think he's anywhere near Slick Willy in the "accomplished liar" department?

He was an an accomplished liar.

I think Senator Bob Kerrey even described him using those words, during his presidency.

In her ever-present daze, Harris thought Walz said he was a “master-debater” ... or at least that’s what it sounded like what she heard ...

Walz was a bad choice not because of his poor debate skills, but that he was a pathological liar and on the take from the Chinese. It took very little digging even by the in the tank media to expose Walz’s lies. How ever, Walz like Harris is a Marxist and fits in well with her make America socialist ideology.

She has made one decision as Presidential contender. She chose Walz.

I’m sure she reminded him that he would not be alone on that stage. He would have a couple helpers.
