JD Vance Whines About Fact-Checking at VP Debate - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[MarkDenver-oy]

The vice presidential debates consistently exude an air of gravitas and sophistication. It is gratifying to witness a genuine political discourse during a moment of paramount significance in American history.

[phamhuyvinh]

The fact that live fact checking isn’t allowed during a debate is an indicator of how low our media and political institutions have fallen. The truth should never be subservient to ambition.

[EthelJung-jw]

Obvious correction about it being called Frankensteins monster and not Frankenstein but it was WELL worth the joke/mini story =))

[MonicaRMartino]

Vance really looks like Chucky!!! He tries to disguise it with the beard but the eyes and the nose and the mouth are Chucky's! I can't unsee it now 😮.

[lynnebucher]

I laughed so hard when Walz replied "that's a damning NON-ANSWER!!! Best calling out ever from someone who's dealt with more than the usual number of deceptive lids.

[SocksAndPuppets]

The only people who don't want people checking what they say and making sure it's true are liars.

[twalrus]

"Are you having an affair?"
"Honey, I'm focused on the future."

[deborahbarnes]

He even lied about delivering supplies. The supplies were from Samaritan's Purse. Taking credit for others' generosity-despicable.

[kristinem]

We can hear you don't feel good but thank you for keeping us entertained instead of calling out! Hope you feel better!

[itsbritneybiitttcchh_]

I do not understand how anyone can support men that lie straight to their face, it's mind-blowing!

[virginiamiller]

I hope your feeling better and your throat doesn't hurt too much!

[SomethingBlonde-ocsc]

JD Vance, running on the clown ticket. 🤡🤭

[JimmyKlef]

Honey did you cheat on me?

“I have concepts of loyalty”.

[susacorn]

"I do you right now" 🤣 pure gold right there😂👍god that made my day

[seraphonica]

in fairness, it's not very fair to JD. how is he supposed to look like a decent candidate if he's expected to tell the truth?

[jeremiahcep]

People only worry about being fact-checked when they know they are lying.

[keepitmovin]

Love that Seth did a RFK JR voice impression for this whole clip 😂

[Lisa]

I love Walz's facial reactions to Vance's lies about Obamacare and the 2021 insurrection. He has a look like, "Are you effing kidding me?" And I have to give him credit for keeping quiet and not jumping in

[sayjay]

What I love about Governor Waltz was his expression, it was "Wtf, dude are you kidding me" expression 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[mortalclown]

Hey, Seth - feel better. Old mom here: sounds like you're catching something. Take CARE. America needs you.

💙🇺🇸💪
