He thinks he’s sofa-nny.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz deployed a couch joke on Tuesday as he attacked Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance in his first appearance as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate.
“Like all regular people I grew up with in the heartland, JD studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community,” the newly-minted Democratic vice presidential nominee said with Harris by his side at a Philadelphia campaign rally.
“Come on, that’s not what Middle America is,” Walz argued before expressing his eagerness to debate the Ohio senator.
“I got to tell you, I can’t wait to debate the guy …. that is if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up,” he quipped.
“See what I did there?”
The joke fired up the crowd, but Harris appeared less amused.
The vice president appeared to grimace milliseconds before Walz delivered the laugh line.

Harris, 59, then chuckled but immediately looked away from Walz, appearing to direct her attention to the floor as the audience cheered.
Harris didn’t clap at the joke.
Walz’s joke was a reference to an internet hoax that falsely claimed Vance penned an X-rated anecdote involving a couch in his 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy.”
“These guys are creepy,” Walz said of the GOP presidential ticket. “And yes, just weird as hell.”
