LET'S INTRODUCE THE CANDIDATES.
MINNESOTA'S DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR TIM WALLS AND OHIO'S REPUBLICAN SENATOR
JD VANCE TONIGHT MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME.
FIRST OF ALL,
LET'S START WITH THE HURRICANE BECAUSE
IT'S AN UNBELIEVABLE UNSPEAKABLE HUMAN TRAGEDY.
I'M SURE GOVERNOR WALSH JOINS ME IN SAYING
OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE,
OUR PRAYERS GO OUT TO THEM AND WE WANT AS
ROBUST AND AGGRESSIVE AS THE FEDERAL RESPONSES WE CAN GET.
SENATOR VANCE HAS SAID THAT THERE'S A CLIMATE PROBLEM IN THE PAST,
DONALD TRUMP CALLED IT A HOAX
AND THEN JOKED THAT THESE THINGS WOULD MAKE MORE
BEACHFRONT PROPERTY TO BE ABLE TO INVEST IN.
WE HAVE A HISTORIC IMMIGRATION CRISIS BECAUSE KAMALA HARRIS STARTED AND SAID
THAT SHE WANTED TO UNDO ALL OF DONALD TRUMP'S BORDER POLICIES.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO SOLVE IT.
YOU DEMONIZE IT
AND WE SAW THIS AND, AND SENATOR VAN AND IT SURPRISES ME ON THIS
TALKING ABOUT AND SAYING I WILL CREATE STORIES TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS,
THAT VILIFIED A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO
WERE HERE LEGALLY IN THE COMMUNITY OF SPRINGFIELD.
THE PEOPLE THAT I'M MOST WORRIED ABOUT IN SPRINGFIELD,
OHIO ARE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO HAVE HAD
THEIR LIVES DESTROYED BY KAMALA HARRIS'S OPEN BORDER.
IT IS A DISGRACE TO HIM. AND I ACTUALLY THINK I AGREE WITH YOU.
I THINK YOU WANT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT KAMALA HARRIS DOES.
MARGARET,
THE RULES WERE THAT YOU GUYS WEREN'T GOING TO
FACT CHECK AND SINCE YOU'RE FACT CHECKING ME,
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAY WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON.
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. THE
HAS NOT BEEN ON THE BOOKS.
GENTLEMEN,
THE AUDIENCE CAN'T HEAR YOU BECAUSE YOUR MICS ARE CUT.
BUT AS I READ THE MINNESOTA LAW THAT YOU SIGNED INTO, INTO, INTO, INTO LAW,
THE STATUTE THAT YOU SIGNED INTO LAW,
IT SAYS THAT A DOCTOR WHO PRESIDES OVER AN ABORTION WHERE THE BABY SURVIVES,
THE DOCTOR IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE LIFE SAVING CARE
TO A BABY WHO SURVIVES A BOTCHED LATE TERM ABORTION.
THAT IS, I THINK
PRO-CHOICE OR PRO CHOICE
THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY BARBARIC.
THESE ARE WOMEN'S DECISIONS TO MAKE ABOUT THEIR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS
AND THE PHYSICIANS WHO KNOW BEST WHEN THEY NEED TO DO THIS,
TRYING TO DISTORT THE WAY A LAW IS WRITTEN TO
TRY AND MAKE A POINT. THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL. WAS I WRONG ABOUT GOVERNOR? PLEASE
TELL ME, WHAT WAS THAT? THAT IS NOT THE WAY THE LAW IS WRITTEN.
WELL, I THINK ALL THE PARENTS WATCHING TONIGHT.
THIS IS, THIS IS YOUR BIGGEST NIGHTMARE. LOOK, I GOT A,
I GOT A 17 YEAR OLD AND UH
AND HE WITNESSED A SHOOTING AT A COMMUNITY CENTER PLAYING VOLLEYBALL.
THOSE THINGS DON'T LEAVE YOU. I 100% BELIEVE THAT SENATOR VANCE
HATES IT WHEN THESE KIDS, IT, IT'S ABHORRENT AND IT BREAKS YOUR HEART.
I, I AGREE WITH THAT
BUT IT'S, THAT'S NOT FAR ENOUGH WHEN WE KNOW THERE ARE THINGS THAT WORKED.
TIM, FIRST OF ALL,
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOUR 17 YEAR OLD WITNESSED THE
SHOOTING AND I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT AND I APPRECIATE IT.
CHRIST HAVE MERCY. JANUARY 6TH WAS NOT FACEBOOK ADS.
THIS WAS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY IN A WAY THAT WE HAD NOT SEEN
AND IT MANIFESTED ITSELF BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP'S INABILITY TO
SAY HE IS STILL SAYING HE DIDN'T LOSE THE ELECTION.
I WOULD JUST ASK THAT. DID HE LOSE THE 2020 ELECTION? TIM I'M FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE.
DID KAMALA HARRIS CENSOR AMERICANS FROM SPEAKING THEIR MIND
IN THE WAKE OF THE 2020 COVID SITUATION?
THAT IS
A,
THAT IS A DAMNING NONANSWER. KAMALA HARRIS IS BRINGING US A NEW WAY FORWARD.
SHE'S BRINGING US A POLITICS OF JOY.
SHE'S BRINGING REAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS AND
SHE'S CENTERING YOU AT THE HEART OF THAT.
WE HAVE THE GREATEST COUNTRY, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY,
THE MOST INCREDIBLE PEOPLE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
ACHIEVE THEIR FULL DREAMS WITH THE BROKEN LEADERSHIP
THAT WE HAVE IN WASHINGTON AND WHETHER YOU VOTE FOR ME OR VOTE FOR TIM WALSH
I JUST WANT TO SAY, I'M SO PROUD TO BE DOING THIS AND I'M ROOTING FOR YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.
