Jan. 6th and American democracy issues raise temperature in VP debate between Walz and Vance

Despite the milder tone of the debate, there were still glimpses of the political fractures that threaten American democracy. Vance papered over the Jan. 6 attack and echoed Trump's election denial by refusing to say that President Joe Biden won in 2020. (AP Video / Oct. 2, 2024)

Trust the Star to focus on 4 year old Democrat talking points that mean little to the voters instead of all the current concerns about Democrat governance today.

What terrible reporting this is, all you show is clip re Jan6. Nothing on economy or border, the two most important issues in this election. Was it because Vance destroyed Walz in this debate on all the subjects that matter? This is so disingenuous, , and really make the creator here look terrible.

Tim Walz wasn't at the Tiananmen Square Massacre but he was definitely at the VP Debate Massacre

[ggmemes]

Two politicians respecting each other. Hold up, what year is this?!?!

[MikelRChannel]

Cant get any more bias by showing a short clip about Walz saying something against Trump.

[shaunh]

Still going on about J6 but when the Dems allowed blocks of Seattle to be taken over, including a police station, crickets. “Mostly peaceful protest”

[dotkyo]

The debate moderators were almost as biased as Toronto star.

[johnkidd]

Walz was at Tianenn Square like I was at Ground Zero on 9/11 except that he has no shame in saying it or getting caught in the lie.

[philipsoucie]

Why can't the moderators be fair and ask unbiased questions.
I also notice most of the Canadian video's will not allow comments. Criminal.

[geoffdean]

i need 2 puke buckets for the Star, CBC, CTV, Global, well all these derelict screw-ups.

[scott]

The establishment is in full PANIC mode 😂

[j.]

Why does the US continue to let news networks hold debates? Its making my tinfoil hat itchy

[duncanmcgoo]

Vance was great, Walz was mediocre, the moderators were vile, and the whole debate insulted American’s intelligence

[maryatvan]

J.D. Vance is a strong, intelligent and informed speaker.
Wulz waffles back and forth on subjects instead of staying on task and speaking on policies that Americans expect and deserve to hear.
Walz did try his best, yet he is no match up against the forthright J.D. Vance.

[johnrobichaud]

Cherry picking by the Toronto liberal Star

[Maddieu]

Censorship is the complete opposite to what America or Canada stand for!

[primmakinsofis]

The Toronto "Red" Star being its usual lying left self.

[likeicare]

WHAT KIND OF TITLE IS THIS, ??? CANT YOU JUST REPORT!!!!

[adohmnail]

Dear Toronto Star, the US is not a democracy it is a republic. Thank you for not understanding.

Actually, what you saw on January 6th was democracy taken all the way to its logical conclusion. American voters, on their own accord, believing that the vote was rigged and went out to do something about it. The Declaration of Independence itself instructed Americans to abolish government and re-institute a new form of government, should the existing government become corrupted and cease to uphold the purpose of upholding, promoting, and propagating life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
