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.”

    They should’ve just declined him as a customer, or insisted that no recording at all could be done on their property.

    The employees at the donut shop did not make that call. The owner (who likely wasn’t on site) made that call. I do believe the one employee had her face blurred because she did not agree to being recorded.

    The Vance campaign should not have released the video, because even if it’s not as bad as people are saying, it’s not good and does not help his campaign in the slightest.

      Nope, Vance’s team released the footage without blurring her. It was third-party news sites that blurred her when they reposted it, because she clearly didn’t want to be filmed. But Vance’s team 100% posted it without any kind of blur at all.
