The GOP candidate got the cold shoulder from firefighters, who, by comparison, warmly embraced Walz on Wednesday

    Wtf do you think warmly embraced means? Jesus, use some context clues or I don’t know find a video of them applauding Governor Walz.

    That legitimately took me 15 seconds to find a video where I could hear them clapping.

    I’d go even further and say “warmly embraced” is an understatement compared to Vance being openly booed by the same convention.

      As I said it could mean any number of things the threshold they established was warmer than being met with boos. They can either describe what they are claiming happened within the article or be yet another shit journalist. Not that they care as long as their headline gets clicks.

        What else would they do? It’s either cheer or boo.

        If they had got up and left en masse they’d write that.

        If they started a riot, then they’d write that.

        Seriously does everything need to be spelled out for you word for word?

        It feels like if they had explicitly wrote “they then cheered for Walz” you’d be in here questioning the applicability of the word “cheered” based on the number of people cheering, the exuberance of their cheers, and the length of which the cheer was sustained.

          Yea, unless they just want everyone to guess what happened (applying their own biases to that in the process). I don’t see why expecting a piece of journalism to be as accurate as possible is such a controversial opinion.
