Despite the narrative pushed by mainstream media, JD Vance decisively won his debate against Tim Walz, who struggled to defend the Biden administration’s harmful policies. Tulsi Gabbard confirmed this perspective.
“Anyone who watched with an open mind, sincerely interested in listening to what both JD Vance and Tim Walz had to say, probably came away with a very different and positive impression of JD Vance as well as the policies that he and President Trump are putting forward,” she told Glenn Beck.
Gabbard continued, “I think JD did a fantastic job in talking about these issues in a way that I could relate to, that were very real and really reflect the fact that both he and President Trump are listening to the American people. You contrast that with what we hear from Kamala Harris, what we heard from Tim Walz, who had a really, really tough job tonight trying to defend Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s disastrous policies.” She also noted how Biden and Harris “are so arrogantly dismissive of the reality of the struggles of so many Americans across the country.”
Glenn Beck then asked if there was a key moment in the debate that could sway undecided voters. Gabbard responded, “I honestly think that there were a lot of those moments on every one of the major issues.”
However, she highlighted one significant moment: when the topic of censorship was raised. Gabbard felt that the moderators, who leaned left, did not give the issue enough attention. “We have hard evidence that [censorship] has been taking place” under the Biden administration, she said, adding, “You have Tim Walz himself who has said that free speech in the First Amendment is a privilege and that it does not apply to misinformation and disinformation and hate speech.”
She continued, “The thing that he and Kamala Harris are not telling the American people is that they believe they’re the only ones who get to decide what is misinformation and disinformation [and hate speech].” Gabbard pointed out the double standard, explaining that they want to protect speech they agree with while silencing views they dislike.
“JD was on point when he said fundamentally we cannot have a Democratic Republic unless we protect every American’s right to free speech and encourage this vibrant marketplace of ideas where we can debate issues that are important to us, where more speech always wins, and the best ideas will rise to the top,” Gabbard concluded.
