Tim Walz hasn’t exactly had the best introduction to the nation. Despite the best efforts of the campaign and the mainstream media to brand him as a midwestern centrist and “America’s dad”, among other things, it’s hard not to wonder if Walz will be the next candidate the campaign will force off the ticket to make for someone less controversial and with less baggage.
The biggest issue, of course, is that Walz has come under fire for stolen valor.
Earlier this month, Newsweek reported that the Minnesota National Guard was disputing Walz’s military biography. They reported that despite the governor’s assertions, Walz did not retire with the rank of command sergeant major. CNN similarly called out the lying governor.
“Walz did make a comment speaking to a group, he’s done it a couple of times, where he has used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation,” CNN correspondent Tom Foreman reported. “As you know, with your contact with the military, I know from coming from a military family, there is a difference between being in a combat area, being involved at a time of war and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you.
