Asked Directly About Stolen Valor, Walz Hides Behind School Shooting, Bad Grammar.
(If y’all think Kamala holds the rights to word salads and the ability to totally avoid saying anything remotely connected to the question, y’all ain’t met Tim Walz. He can spin shit like a master also.)
(Misstatements and exaggerations = LIES)
Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) attempted to explain away his misstatements and exaggerations about his time serving in the military by hiding behind a school shooting and claiming that his grammar was not the best.
Walz joined Vice President Kamala Harris in her first official interview since becoming the Democratic Party’s de facto nominee — a pre-taped 18-minute spot with friendly CNN anchor Dana Bash — and Bash asked him about comments he’s made previously about “carrying weapons of war in war” despite never serving in a combat zone.
“Tim Walz asked about lying and claiming he carried weapons in war said, ‘My grammar’s not always correct.’ Holy crap. He’s a moron. He’s had a month to come up with a response and this is it?!” radio host Clay Travis posted.
WATCH:
“The country is just starting to get to know you,” Bash said to Walz. “I want to ask you a question about how you’ve described your service in the National Guard. You said that you carried weapons ‘in war,’ but you have never deployed actually in a war zone. A campaign official said you misspoke. Did you?”
Walz began by restating, as he has many times, how proud he is of his 24 years of service in the Army National Guard.
“I’m equally proud of my service in a public school classroom, whether it’s Congress or the governor,” Walz continued, first suggesting that his false claims were just the result of his manner of speaking. “My record speaks for itself, but I think people are coming to get to know me, I speak like they do.”
He followed that with the suggestion that his exaggeration came about because he was “especially passionate” about making sure that kids did not get hurt. “I speak candidly, I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I speak especially passionately about our children being shot in schools and around guns, so I think people know me, they know who I am, they know where my heart is, and again, my record has been out there for over 40 years. It should speak for itself.”
“The idea that you said that you were ‘in war,'” Bash pressed. “Did you misspeak, as the campaign has said?”
(Check this word salad out.)
Walz shook his head, replying, “Yeah, I said — we were talking about, in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war, and my wife, the English teacher, told me my grammar’s not always correct. But again, if it’s not this, it’s an attack on my children for showing love for me or it’s an attack on my dog. I’m not gonna do that, and the one thing I’ll never do is I’ll never demean another member’s service.”
As news of Walz’s answer spread across X, however, critics pointed out the fact that Walz had referred to National Guard troops as “19-year-old cooks” who were not even prepared to handle the riots that tore apart his state after George Floyd’s death.
