Republican vice presidential candidate and Sen. J.D. Vance, who is running against Walz, got into a lot of heated arguments during the debate.
Experts and watchers alike noticed Walz’s eyes and how they seemed to get hot at times during the debate.
For Politico, a body language expert said that Walz’s “deer-in-the-headlights” look was actually a sign of his “passion.”
Navarro said he has been “an expert in body language for over 50 years,” with 25 of those years spent working for the FBI.
Navarro wrote, “I’ve used my knowledge of the deeply subtle science of nonverbal speech to help catch spies and jail crooks.”
But on Wednesday, the former FBI expert used his “skills” to look at the fight for vice president.
“The fire in Waldz’s eyes was clear,” Navarro wrote.
People in general didn’t agree, saying that the governor’s eyes were more like “crazy eyes” than anything that could hint at love.
Navarro came up with another reason for Walz’s puzzled look.
“Walz would open his eyes as wide as saucers when he was really excited about something. Eye-popping can sometimes mean surprise, but for Walz, it just showed how strongly he felt,” Navarro wrote, referring to Walz’s debate exchange about abortion.
The expert on body language said Walz’s look goes back to the beginning of time.
He wrote, “Early humans would have used these facial movements to show strong feelings, like ‘danger is close. It meant more to Walz and kept our attention on him.”
When Walz pointed at the camera, Navarro said it was “like Uncle Sam in those old ‘I Want You’ signs. This got people’s attention.”
