Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has been ridiculed after effectively bragging about how none of his students are smart enough to attend Ivy League schools.
The Minnesota Gov. has berated his Republican rival, Sen. J.D. Vance, for attending Yale Law School prior to his political career.
Walz’s obsession with his opponent’s education caught the attention of CNN commentator Scott Jennings on Sunday, 29 Sept who described the Democrat as a “buffoon”.
“This guy, he’s the only school teacher in America who brags that none of his students can get into an Ivy League school,” Jennings said on CNN’s State of the Union.
“He’s had one consequential press interaction with our Dana Bash who asked him about the fabrications in his own resume. His answer was essentially, ‘you know, me no understand words good,’” Jennings said of Walz’s joint interview with Kamala Harris.
“I mean, he is a buffoon.”
The two vice presidential candidates will face off on Tuesday, Oct. 1 in what is likely to be the last debate of the election campaign.
Others questioned whether Vice President Harris misjudged her decision to choose Walz as her running mate.
