I imagine they probably did- I didn't watch the debate (and won't for any such politicians nowadays, listening to modern Hitlers and Goebbels debate for over an hour sounds like hell). The sheer level of mask-off-derangement from the "expansion of Isntreal" comments by Walz, even having looked it up to see the context, was worse than expected, to such a point Vance (predictably racist/etc as it has sounded like he was in the debate) genuinely may as well have sounded like a "puppy" in comparison like the comic in the post shows (though the artist definitely has all the wrong motivations).
