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.”

    I have been dying to use this line in a donut shop for real but i know inside that if they picked up on what i was doing they’d ‘ok’ me too and i’d probably deserve it.

    I don’t want to annoy peeps just tryina work, but… just… I really want to order a bakers dozen of ‘whatever makes sense’

      I have picked up doughnuts for the office and other than the one I want, the rest are called “assorted doughnuts”. Guess I could try “whatever makes sense” next time, but it just doesn’t make sense to say that.

      I imagine a scene where Vance opens up a donut box like the Pulp Fiction briefcase and there’s an eldrich horror inside.

      “This doesn’t make any sense…”
