Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence
Last night Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence, met in Salt Lake City, Utah for their first and only Vice Presidential debate. Unlike last week we decided to spare ourselves the pain of live blogging the debate. Instead we thought we would watch it after the debate occurred and give our impressions of it. The debate opened with a question to Senator Harris asking what a Biden administration would do differently about COVID than what the Trump administration has.
Senator Harris started by outlining her criticisms of the Trump administration’s handling of the virus. She argued that Trump didn’t adequately prepare for the virus, and that a Biden administration would do better contact tracing and distributing the vaccine when it arrives.
Pence responded largely with his usual kissing of Trump’s ass, taking shots at the Biden campaign. Pence was asked about his presence at the White House Rose Garden “Super Spreader” event a week and a half ago. And how when they didn’t follow their own safety guidelines how can they expect the public to do so. Pence tap danced around the question and said he and Trump respect the American people to do what is best.
Throughout the debate Pence proceeded to interrupt Harris and the moderator and seemed to get testy at times. The next topic discussed was how both candidates see the role of the Vice President, especially in regards to how to handle if the President becomes disabled. Pence started out by trying to dodge the topic by attempting to circle back on the subject of the administration’s handling of the coronavirus. Harris also dodged the question of how they saw the role of being Vice President.
We would go on to review the debate but it was just a snooze fest and won’t mean a damn thing. The high point of the debate was the fly that landed on Pence’s head:
We have reached out to the fly’s press staff to request an interview. We will let you know if we hear anything back.
