"Climate change isn't real, but if it was, we would need to pump more oil and natural gas in the United States to make our energy sector strong for the oncoming crisis."
"Oh, and don't buy solar panels from China, because they're dirty foreigners."
And Walz, who spent the whole debate staring at the podium scowling like a rotten jack-o'-lantern, was so out of it he couldn't effectively call out Vance's bogus definition of clean energy and bring up the Build Back Better plan and Biden's investments into the US energy economy.
What the fuck.
"Also, let me shoehorn in the Mexicans real quick."
"Millions of illegals!"
"Actually, the people you're referring to are legally in the United States with temporary protected status..."
"They're still here illegally because I say so, illegal illegal lalala"
They have darker skin than Vance, so he sees them as inherently criminal, irrespective of whether they've actually committed a crime.
So, Vance married a criminal? Maybe she is even an illegal by his definition.
