Now compare this with Vance’s speech 😂

[Kuklapolitan]

The courage it takes to become and remain a firefighter is commendable indeed. We cannot lose ourselves in the mourning we experience each time one of you falls for we must stand to fight again on another day. You do an incredible job and Americans are so proud of you for walking into harms way each day...risking life and limb to save others. It's so refreshing to listen to Tim Walz speak of hi own experiences with you and with the thousands of members of unions across this country. With Kamala and Tim at the helm, I know we will all enjoy a brighter future as we move forward. You should always have all you need to protect yourselves from the dangers of fire and your equipment should always be top-notch. I know Kamala & Tim will see to that you do. God bless all of you and may He always keep watch over you as you do the work you are so well suited to.

Wait. I missed the stray ramblings about electric boats and sharks. He didn't even mention Hannibal Lecter (who is totally a real person and not just a made-up movie villain). OH! That's right - Walz isn't an orange clown struggling with dementia.

Solidarity govenor Walz. We will strengthen our unions, the middle class, and our nation!

Tim Walz is the average American it's crazy we get the opportunity to have a regular American inside the White House spoke of fear for his mother losing social security I respect that because he understands me and my family

[Afrofries]

I love this man, he really cares about our country and you can tell in all his speeches. Keep fighting coach
