Walz Says He Lied About Going To War Because He Struggles With Grammar<\/a><\/p>\n

Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., has made a political career out of \u201cmisspeaking.\u201d Why stop now?<\/p>\n

The No. 2 on the Democratic Party\u2019s forced dream team campaign ticket, featuring the joyous empty vessel Vice President Kamala Harris, was back to doing what he seems to do best Thursday night. After several weeks of evading actual questions, Harris and her running mate sat down with CNN\u2019s Dana Bash for the first semi-substantive\u00a0interview<\/a> of their honeymoon campaign \u2014 more than a month after President Joe Biden\u2019s political wake.<\/p>\n

Bash was anything but browbeating in an edited, open-notebook test that was anything but adversarial. This is CNN after all, the network where journalistic ethics go to die. But when Bash wasn\u2019t watching Harris peeking at her notes to answer basic policy questions, the host of CNN\u2019s \u201cInside Politics\u201d was attempting to show she could still ask a tough question or two.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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?\u201d Bash posed.<\/p>\n

First of all, Walz didn\u2019t misspeak about his military bravado. He lied. And, as The Federalist has\u00a0reported,<\/a>\u00a0he has done so in the name of politics.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m Incredibly Proud\u2019<\/h2>\n

In 2018, Walz, while talking about gun violence,\u00a0said,<\/a> \u201cWe can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.\u201d<\/p>\n

Problem is, Walz never served in a combat zone. His unit was called up early in the war in Iraq \u2014 to Italy. Later, in 2005, he abandoned his National Guard unit as it was preparing to deploy to Iraq. Walz, who opted to run for Congress at the time, retired not long before the deployment. He claimed to be a \u201cretired Command Sergeant Major,\u201d a top rank for an enlisted soldier. Except he wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Walz looked like he was tired of answering the question. He shook his ruddy head as if he hadn\u2019t used the lie for political currency and delivered what some have described as a\u00a0\u201cbizarre\u201d<\/a>\u00a0reason for why he \u201cmisspoke.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, first of all, I\u2019m incredibly proud. I\u2019ve done 24 years of wearing the uniform of my country. I\u2019m equally proud of my service in a public school classroom, whether it\u2019s in Congress or the governor,\u201d the VP candidate blathered. Spoiler Alert: Walz has no intention of answering this question.<\/p>\n

He goes on to say that his \u201crecord speaks for itself.\u201d It sure does. It\u2019s a record of lies and of\u00a0extreme left-wing<\/a>\u00a0policies in a proud Midwest state shredded by such policies. A record of\u00a0tyrannical rule<\/a>\u00a0during his draconian Covid lockdowns and of Minnesota\u2019s\u00a0largest cities being set on fire<\/a> during the 2020 race riots. But no one in the accomplice media wants to ask Walz about any of that.<\/p>\n

He told Bash that he speaks \u201ccandidly.\u201d Clearly he does not know what the word \u201ccandid\u201d means. He \u201cwears his emotions\u201d on his sleeve. So, that\u2019s where the lying comes from? He\u2019s passionate about children being shot in schools. Understandable. Still, no reason for the lies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think people know me, they know who I am. They know where my heart is and, again, my record has been out there for more than 40 years to speak for itself,\u201d Walz said.<\/p>\n

So \u2026 about the gun in a combat zone thing?<\/p>\n

Bad Grammar, Awful Person<\/h2>\n

To her credit, Bash didn\u2019t demure on this one. She pressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the idea that you said you were in war, did you misspeak as the campaign has said?\u201d the CNN anchor asked again.<\/p>\n

Frustrated and caught in his obfuscation, Walz blustered, \u201cYeah, I said we were talking in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war.\u201d<\/p>\n

And this is where the bizarre comes in.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd my wife, the English teacher, told me my grammar is not always correct,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Grammar?! It\u2019s not like Walz mixed up the usage of lay and lie. He LIED.<\/p>\n

Because he\u2019s an awful liar and an awful human being, he blamed his political enemies \u2014 like some of the National Guard soldiers who served with him \u2014 for his shortcomings in \u201cgrammar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, again, if it\u2019s not this it\u2019s an attack on my children for showing love for me or it\u2019s an attack on my dog,\u201d the governor deflected. \u201cI\u2019m not gong to do that. And the one thing I\u2019ll never do is demean another [service] member\u2019s service in any way. I never have and I never will.\u201d<\/p>\n

He demeaned the service of members of the military for years by claiming he was something he wasn\u2019t, in places he had not been. It\u2019s called stolen valor, and it\u2019s a really lousy thing to do.<\/p>\n

Just ask Kathy Miller, the mother of forever 19-year-old Sgt. Kyle Miller, who was killed in 2006 by roadside bomb in Iraq. He was member of the Guard unit Walz left behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy son wasn\u2019t even 21 years old. He couldn\u2019t even buy alcohol. Yet he took the step to serve our country while Walz found the best way to run away,\u201d Kathy Miller\u00a0told the Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month.\u00a0 \u201cIt was the coward\u2019s way out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
