After Republican vice presidential pick J.D. Vance went viral last week for being extraordinarily awkward at a donut shop in Georgia, Democrat Tim Walz had to poke fun at him during a snack stop in Pennsylvania.

Pursuing sweets like whoopie pies and donuts at Cherry Hill Orchards in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Walz slid in a joke  while speaking to voters.

“Look at me, I have no problem picking out donuts.”

    Why are those people in the Trump campaign so disgusting?

    In the article we only have to scroll a little to see the video:

    JD Vance trying to order doughnuts

    She clearly asked not to be filmed, yet they post the video with her in it.
    Note that this is clearly illegal in civilized countries like for instance EU, but I don’t know about USA?

    Zero protection of personal space, yet stand your ground allow white to shoot black people!?!?
    What a fucking shithole country!

      Not as robust as EU. but we do have privacy laws and if she didn’t sign a release, they’re in trouble for doing that. Unfortunately as we’ve seen, nothing will be done.

        Nope, Georgia is a one party consent state and technically the donut shop is public access so it’s legal, but still a complete dick move

        I have only seen versions of the clip where her face was blurred. Did they say on tape that they were going to blur her and then didn’t?

          I saw versions posted where her face was not blurred after the first one did. Thought that was pretty fucked up. I am willing to bet the blurred one was probably posted by non-conservative media.

      On brand for Republicans not recognizing a woman’s agency or autonomy.

        It’s not like staffers from the same campaign working directly under the head guy at the moment assaulted a female army officer or anything, don’t be ridiculous
