The recent vice-presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz was highlighted by several notable and awkward moments, although it did not generate as much attention as the presidential debate.
During a monologue on “The Daily Show,” host Michael Kosta provided a breakdown of the debate’s key moments. These included the use of an onscreen QR code that linked to a fact-checking site. Kosta humorously criticized this approach, pointing out that while a lie was being broadcast to millions, only a small number of viewers might actually scan the code to verify the facts.
Additionally, Kosta commented on Vance’s attempt to align Donald Trump’s stance on abortion with “diversity,” by sarcastically suggesting that Republicans support diversity in that different states have varying views on women’s rights.
For further insights into the debate, viewers were directed to Stephen Colbert’s live reaction. The discussion around these events was encapsulated under the topics of “The Daily Show” and “Politics.”
