HuffPost
They have a record of telling the truth on Fox News.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg ― of truth-telling on Fox News fame ― is helping Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz prepare for his upcoming vice presidential debate against GOP counterpart JD Vance, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
Buttigieg has been drafted to play Vance ― of false migrants-eating-pets claims and “childless cat ladies” notoriety ― in mock debate sessions ahead of the CBS News-hosted event on Oct. 1, said the Post, citing multiple sources.
The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, former Democratic presidential candidate and current Biden White House cabinet member is involved “in his personal capacity,” per the newspaper.
