The vice presidential candidate followed up his debate performance by claiming on X that Trump "governed with common sense" compared to Harris—and was quickly reminded of the bonkers things Trump did while in office.

Former President Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance raised eyebrows and was hit with blunt reminders after he followed up his debate performance on Tuesday by claiming that Trump "governed with common sense" compared to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, the night of his debate against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris' running mate, Vance said:


"Last night was fun! Remember: Kamala Harris has been in power for the last 3.5 years. She opened the border. She cast the deciding vote on trillions in new spending. The border and affordability crisis is on her."
" Donald Trump, by contrast, governed with common sense."

You can see his post below.

Was Vance talking about the same man who once looked directly at a solar eclipse?

The man who once told people they could inject themselves with bleach to ward off COVID-19?

The man who once asked if nuclear bombs could stop hurricanes?

Yes, yes he was—and people were quick to remind him of some of the bonkers things Trump did while in office.



Vance is no stranger to historical revisionism where Trump is concerned, of course.

In August, he lashed out against criticisms from Democrats about Trump's behavior during the January 6 insurrection, saying he doesn't understand people who spend time "whining about what happened to them instead of using their leadership and influence to make the lives of American citizens better."

His remarks prompted many to criticize him because Trump spent years lying about the integrity of the 2020 election and was this year convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election.

Additionally, critics pointed out that Trump wasn't exactly interested in bettering people's lives when his followers, per Democratic Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin, "tried to kill" Mike Pence, Vance's predecessor.

Indeed, Pence could have been killed during the insurrection, when a mob of Trump's supporters stormed the United States Capitol on the false premise that the 2020 election had been stolen, angry that he certified the results, as was his constitutional duty.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
