Fiery Debate
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz appeared to mistake Iran and Israel while his Republican counterpart J.D. Vance had his mic cut off in a fiery debate. The Minnesota Governor and Ohio Senator clashed on issues including the border and abortion in heated exchanges during Tuesday's vice-presidential debate on CBS.
Confusion Over Middle East
The first question from hosts Margaret Brennan and Norah O'Donnell concerned the Middle East, in the wake of Iran's missile strikes against Israel. Walz appeared to confuse Iran and Israel twice in his first answer, at one point referring to "Israel and its proxies," and instead launched personal attacks on Trump and Vance.
Accusations of Misinformation
It follows reports that Walz wrongly claimed he was in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre when Chinese authorities brutally crushed pro-democracy protesters. Despite publicly available evidence suggesting otherwise, Walz has made conflicting statements about his whereabouts during the event.
Mic Cut Off
In an early flashpoint, the two clashed over Haitian migration to Springfield, Ohio, with the hosts eventually cutting both candidates' microphones after they continued to argue after their allotted time.
Accusations of Misrepresentations
Walz has faced accusations of misrepresenting elements of his past, including his past experiences in China and other personal details. The comments have been seized on by Republicans as part of what AP News described as a "broader pattern of inaccuracies."
