J.D. Vance puzzled about 'weird' attacks: 'I'm a pretty normal guy'

Raw Story  

Vance insisted he's just a "normal guy" after "weird" became the buzzword used by multiple supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to describe him. Tim Walz, who's reportedly on the shortlist to become Kamala Harris' running mate, referred to the GOP ticket as "just weird" in an interview last week— and it's repeated many times since. "Like, I'm a pretty normal guy, I've got a wife and kids and I like to hang out and, you know, watch football." The Harris campaign described Trump as "old and weird" after Walz's remarks went viral on social media, and Democrats have said that Vance's views on abortion, "childless cat ladies" and other topics are also weird.
