We’re not sure who came up with this boneheaded idea. Still, according to the Washington Post, former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) is assisting Vice President Mike Pence to prepare for his debate next month with Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.), the Democratic vice presidential nominee. It’s as if the Trump administration took a dive into what Republicans could help Pence defeat Harris in the debate, and all they could come up with is Scott Walker.
When reached by phone by the Post on Thursday, Walker — who lost his reelection in 2018 — declined to comment about any ongoing work with Pence, but said, “All I can say is that I worked with him four years ago and was happy to help. That’s it.”
Twitter users went crazy over the thought of Walker cosplaying Kamala Harris, who is a law school graduate, former prosecutor, district attorney, attorney general, and is now a sitting California senator.
Really needed a good laugh today and Scott Walker pretending to be Kamala Harris definitely did it. He’s not in her league. Not close.

Scott Walker standing in for Kamala Harris in debate prep is like me standing in for Aaron Donald in a football drill.

I’m expecting a bloodbath. No amount of prep is gonna save Pence from @KamalaHarris, the person who made Brett Kavanaugh cry.

I guess Pence will be crying, and asking for “mother”, even before the debate starts. 🧐

Mike Pence is preparing for his debate with Kamala Harris by sparring with Scott Walker.
That’s like training for a heavyweight boxing match by punching a sock full of mayonnaise.

Dumb and Dumber between them do not match Senator Harris’s intellect or oratorical skills.

Kamala Harris is laser-focused and has excellent debating skills. So, the Trump administration went with Scott Walker. This administration has become a parody of itself.
