Vermont general election debate: Candidates for U.S. House Becca Balint and Mark Coester

[@ericlipuma8902]

This could very easily be a great SNL skit

[@rogerstauss]

Mikaela Lefrak deserves a medal for moderating this debate

[@bobfitch6601]

She's simply the best!

[@goldenlunafish]

I came here to say the EXACT thing!

[@proscriptus]

Was he drunk? Or is this just the best he can do?

[@josieklein6415]

I couldn't believe my ears when I was listening to this live

[@sarahpowell2330]

I graduated 6th grade but never knew I should be worried about CO2 deprivation.

[@LonnyChant]

Unbelievable. Why the hell is this guy hiding behind a hat and glasses indoors?

[@rtam9894]

Hes drunk and wants to hide it

[@nokiruza]

I've only seen the first 5 minutes. Holy ****! Apparently anyone can run for office.

[@adamc27]

If you make it to 49 minutes the payoff is absolutely incredible

[@nokiruza]

@@adamc27 I may have to take your word for that.

[@johnsumner6185]

I think this guy was at the bar before he stumbled into this debate.

[@adamc27]

"The clooosing statement... I got notes..."

[@cozyflannel]

I love how the fact Republican Vermonters voted for this guy in their primary makes this even funnier- he makes them look even dumber and insane. He’s who they chose 😂😂😂😂😂

[@orangewitheyes]

Poor Balint for having to deal with this loon.

[@SeanMeissner]

At 23:30 point in the interview, I'm proud to say that I am the independent "Sam" (must've been a typo in Mikaela's notes) asking Mark about the text I received from his campaign promising to "protect our individual freedoms". Although it only took his first exchange with Mikaela to confirm who I was voting for, I am extremely disappointed that Mark never answered my question, instead, just looking blankly at Mikaela. What a disgrace to the Republican party, and to the citizens of Vermont, in general.

[@internetcomputer1009]

Why is this guy here?

[@susanrice2146]

Wow. 6th grade science taught him his facts about climate???

[@MelonTarge123]

In order to save hat money Mark Coester should just get a face tattoo of a flag. He doesn't need to make any sense when he has the flag!

[@nokiruza]

Yes, hats wear out. His face is already worn out.

[@SassyFontaine]

The guy is wearing a tuxedo shirt under a vest with a tie that looks like it was tied in the dark.

[@scrambley1164]

I'm watching this train wreck from California! Wow, Mikaela and Becca both knocked it out of the park, but the real star of the show was the drunk dude. He read an oath of office for his closing statement, LMAO. I'm surprised he didn't have his finger tracing the words as he read his notes. Man, what has happened to the Republican party these days, it's a clown show.

[@picknikcomrade1931]

All he had to say on climate was- “feel how you want about the science. Individuals in a state of just over 600k shouldn’t be held individually responsible by having to pay for climate agendas. We don’t make a difference by any global metric”. such a disappointment…

[@tomcharpentier1192]

Mark started explaining and you said that is your time after trying to get him to expand on his answers all night long. What’s that?

[@TheGeorgeD13]

She did the same to the congresswoman as well multiple times. They're given a certain amount of time. If they can't explain their shit in a timely manner, that's their problem.
