In a recent vice presidential debate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz found himself on the receiving end of a reality check, courtesy of Senator JD Vance from Ohio.
The exchange provided a vivid demonstration of how a well-articulated argument can expose the failings of liberal economic policies. Vance skillfully challenged the very experts that Walz insisted should guide our national policies, reminding viewers of their past misjudgments, as reported by Red State.
“You say trust the experts,” Vance began, “but those same experts 40 years ago said that if we shipped our manufacturing base off to China, we’d get cheaper goods. They lied about that. They said if we shipped our industrial base off to other countries, to Mexico and elsewhere, it would make the middle class stronger. They were wrong about that. ”

His remarks resonated with an audience increasingly skeptical of the so-called expert consensus.
Another pivotal moment unfolded when Vance pushed back against the CBS News moderators who attempted to fact-check him regarding the Haitian migrant crisis in Springfield, Ohio.
The moderators had previously established that no fact-checking would occur during the debate. When they broke this rule, Vance didn’t hesitate to remind them of their own guidelines.

“The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check, and since you’re fact-checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on,” he asserted. His mic was subsequently cut, illustrating the lengths to which some media will go to suppress inconvenient truths.
However, Vance’s assertiveness didn’t sit well with certain feminist commentators, who labeled his rebuttal as “mansplaining.” Amy Diehl, a so-called gender bias expert, took to social media to express her faux outrage, stating, “JD Vance talking over the female moderators. We women have all been there. Overtalked by an entitled mansplainer.”

Unsurprisingly, her comments were met with backlash, with many Twitter users pointing out the absurdity of her claims.
Amy is the person who gets corrected in literature or a faculty meeting for claiming that 2+2=5 and her response is to play the victim of mansplaining.
Gender equality or demanding to be treated like a special snowflake who can’t be corrected. Pick one. https://t.co/R5uI1izjSB

She’s a debate moderator that incorrectly “fact checked” a very consequential debate point.
Calling that mansplaining is clown level nonsense Amy, and you know that.

Yes women who are so over their heads they need to cut him off bc he is fact checking. Amy go cook for your family and take care of your family and stop this nonsense that he was mansplaining. You sound ridiculous. You sound insecure and frankly dumb. https://t.co/mOmStC2MHp

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace also chimed in, arguing that Vance’s actions might alienate women. “I actually think if you’re a woman, that might be the worst moment JD Vance had,” she claimed, criticizing him for allegedly disregarding the moderators’ authority.
MSNBC is struggling after the JD Vance vs. Tim Walz debate.
Nicole Wallace: Shame on JD Vance for ‘mansplaining’ to the moderators.
Rachel Maddow: Tim Walz won the debate and he only had one bad moment.
Joe Scarborough: Tim Walz would be a great neighbor.

This line of reasoning is not only misguided but also undermines the progress women have made. It is disheartening to see women’s credibility diminished over a simple refusal to accept an alternative viewpoint.
Let’s be clear: correcting misinformation does not constitute “mansplaining.” If Vance had directed his remarks at male moderators, the accusation would likely not have arisen. This situation underscores the true meaning of equality—everyone should be held accountable, regardless of gender.
As reported by various outlets, Vance’s performance in the debate signifies a much-needed stand for truth in an increasingly biased media landscape.

Well, somebody gotta do some kinda splaining to the ignorant biatch.
Typical Moronic Karins that claim the mantle of Feminism and always have to be right. When they are called on their Stupidity they immediately turn into victims of “Mansplaining”. Get a clue Nimrods, if you don’t like being corrected by a Man who was absolutely Right on the money. Don’t be such an Idiot. The moderators were a Joke just like the Political Party they Support. For you Feminist Karins, that would be the Democrats. Am I Mansplaining to you or are you just too Dumb to get it!
With the dollar not being able to buy the goods it used to, and the world being on the cusp of war, the majority of the American people are getting sick of the left and their “goodspeak and “badspeak” including many of the people it was meant to “empower” women, blacks, homosexuals, foreign born folks etc.
Hard to take “mansplaining” serious when we really want to hear ANY well thought out solution to get us out from under the malaise we are in.
Feminist ideology: If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it men are still wrong.
Hey all you feminists out there! You do not speak for all women!
I believe we all know feminists are offended by almost everything.
MAGA Trump/Vance 🇺🇸
The news casters / feminists only speak for tranz / abcd people.
We saw how disgusted they were w men fighting woman during Olympic boxing!! At least they could have given the men beating the woman a handicap like a purse or something!!
Feminists are offended by everything.
Censorship is real on this platform!!
Is this a woman throwing the ‘sex card’ for using the term “mansplaining” – In the same way the black person uses the ‘race card’ by calling you a ‘racist’ when they run out of logic & reason to counter the white person’s facts?
I’m sorry I thought mansplaining was when a man has his legs open to wide. Is there a DEI dictionary that can be shared or downloaded for people that don’t care about DEI terms? I’m looking for a great new coffee table book to share w my friends and this would be a great addition!
I. Other news a male / trans boxer decapitated a real woman’s head in a fight. But JD is the real animal!
Feminists are offended by EVERYTHING, and no one cares but other feminists.
