Tim Walz Addresses Allegations, Is Damn Proud of His Service to This Country

Ever since Kamala Harris announced him as her running mate, Tim Walz has been hit with accusations of stolen valor — not just from opponent J.D. Vance but from soldiers who worked with him in the Minnesota Army National Guard. You have to believe a lot of people who knew him are lying for his story to hold up. Did he deploy to Iraq? Afghanistan? It depends on whom and when you ask.

They've even put together a video of 16 times Walz claimed to have retired as a commander sergeant major, which he did not.

His bio on X still refers to him as a command sergeant major, and the always-helpful PolitiFact stepped in with a bogus fact-check on Walz's retirement from the Guard. This is after the Harris campaign put out a Friday night news dump that Walz "misspoke" when he implied he'd served in a combat role in the War on Terror.

Walz finally spoke up for himself at an event in front of the AFSCME union. He even pulled a clip from his speech and posted it to his account, giving what he thinks will be the final word on the topic.

Yeah, that's fine and all, but you lied about your rank and about being deployed to a combat zone.

There seems to be a pretty consistent reaction here — Walz can be proud of his service, but not of lying about it, recalling "standing on the tarmac at Bagram Air Base in Iraq" (it's actually in Afghanistan).

So this is how Walz is going to play it. He's proud of his service. He's proud of Vance's service. So take it or leave it.
