We now know why Tim Walz, the VP nominee picked by Democrat Kamala Harris for this year’s election, made an incorrect statement – his detractors call it a lie – about his military service.
There have been several of those such statements, such as his claim to be in retirement as a “command sergeant major,” about which he repeatedly boasted even though it was a title for which he never was fully qualified.
This dispute is about his claim to have carried weapons of war “in war.”
A report at the Federalist explained the issue came up during a CNN interview with Harris and Walz.
Interviewer Dana Bash said, “I want to ask you a question about how you described your service in the National Guard. You said that you carried weapons in war but you had never deployed actually in a war zone. A campaign official said you misspoke. Did you?”
It was in 2018 that Walz pushed for gun control by saying, “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.
