Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance tweeted a meme mocking Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's first on-camera interview with CNN .

The meme was a reference to the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant when Caitlin Upton stammered through an answer to a question from Friday Night Lights star Aimee Teegarden about one-fifth of Americans failing to locate the country on a map.

The jab failed to connect even at face value: Responses poured in berating Vance for making fun of a young woman.
