Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance delivered a perfect rebuttal to a biased question on the Iranian nuclear deal during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate.

Each candidate was asked whether they would approve of a preemptive Israeli strike on Iran. Walz used his answer to direct the conversation to former President Trump, accusing him of seeking friendly relations with rogue states like North Korea.

After asking Walz a straightforward question, debate moderator Margaret Brennan asked Vance a loaded question about former President Obama’s Iranian nuclear deal, which was widely criticized by Republican lawmakers due to lack of enforcement. Brennan claimed that the unenforceable deal was a successful deterrent and asked whether Trump made a “mistake” by doing away with it.

“Well, first of all, Margaret, diplomacy is not a dirty word, but I think that’s something that Governor Walz just said is quite extraordinary. You yourself just said Iran is as close to a nuclear weapon today as they have ever been, and Governor Walz, you blame Donald Trump. Who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years?” Vance answered. “And the answer is your running mate, not mine.”

The Republican nominee went on to note that several world conflicts have erupted under the Biden-Harris Administration.

“Donald Trump consistently made the world more secure. Now we talk about the sequence of events that led us to where we are right now and you can’t ignore October the 7th, which I appreciate Governor Walz bringing up, but when did Iran and Hamas and their proxies attack Israel? It was during the administration of Kamala Harris,” Vance continued.

“So Governor Walz can criticize Donald Trump’s tweets, but effective, smart diplomacy and peace through strength is how you bring stability back to a very broken world. Donald Trump has already done it once before. Ask yourself at home, when when was the last time, I’m 40 years old, when was the last time that an American president didn’t have a major conflict breakout? The only answer is during the four years Donald Trump was president.”

In the weeks leading up to the vice presidential debate — which has the rare distinction of being the last match-up between the two major campaigns before Election Day — Vance had frequently criticized Walz for misrepresenting his military service record.

Soldiers from his unit with the Minnesota National Guard have questioned the circumstances surrounding his retirement just before a deployment to Iraq, and have noted that he has misrepresented his rank while on the campaign trail.

He has also claimed to have “carried weapons of war,” during a war,” and has insinuated that he was a veteran of the War in Afghanistan.

The Minnesota governor ultimately admitted that he misrepresented his rank after days of intense controversy. He also admitted that he “misspoke” when he claimed to have carried “weapons of war” during his lone interview of the campaign cycle, which he conducted alongside Vice President Harris.

Walz, on the other hand, had deployed an entirely different line of attack after he was selected as the Democratic nominee. The Minnesota governor  — who signed a bill that placed tampons in boys school bathrooms and frequently brags about forming a school club where he could discuss sexuality with gay teens — has frequently attacked Trump and J.D. Vance by labeling them as “weird” and “creepy.”

While the line of attack was everywhere after Walz was selected, the line attack has largely fizzled out thanks to Walz’s bizarre mannerisms and speaking style. “But he is a weird guy. He walks on the stage, there’s something wrong with that guy.And he called me weird. And then the fake news media picks it up,” Trump said of Walz during a recent town hall event.
