Tim Walz’s stolen valor scandal is growing.
Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced she chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate.
Immediately after Walz was introduced as Kamala’s running mate, a video of him falsely claiming to be a combat veteran surfaced.
Walz’s stolen valor scandal is only getting worse and he refuses to answer questions from the press.
A 2007 video of Tim Walz falsely claiming he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom has surfaced.
“I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time,” Tim Walz said in 2007 on CSPAN.

Walz falsely claimed he served in combat in Iraq.
“We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,” Tim Walz previously said.
Walz never deployed.

The pervert lied about deploying.
Shocking, not!!!
Thanks bitt. The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal…deceiver.
Italy? Combat operations? I think this lying POS has the wrong war. He’s thinking of when he served with George Patton
Ah. I see.
He is making it sound like he was carrying “those weapons” in the war zone itself.
Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.
How wierd is that?
Maybe a nice kitty video. Everyone loves a kitty video.
I wish they’d stop these attacks on Walz so early. He’s the weakest of Commie-las VP choices. If they damage him too much now she can drop him and go with a better one. Wait a few weeks and hammer him closer to the convention.
…and the wind whispers…Eagleton
He was back filling for troops that went to the sandbox. Good Italian food and touring Roman ruins isn’t the same as taking enemy fire.

More GP BS and clickbait. He never claimed he deployed to Iraq. He said he deployed in support of the war effort. If he deployed to Europe his statement is true. More problematic is his statement that he carried weapons in war.
his unit was deploying to iraq so he retired
Yeah. But he did create a false impression. He must have given a lot of thought to how to stitch together those sentences.
Okay, he is taking advantage of people’s lack of knowledge and understanding of what Enduring Freedom was. Enduring Freedom was Afghanistan. It was also the primary Operation for GWOT. In terms of mobilization orders for Guard and Reserves they were funded through Operation Enduring Freedom. Initially I was mobilized to Europe for Operations Enduring Freedom. I backfilled at a command for active duty personnel sent to Afghanistan and Iraq. A large percentage Reserve and Guard member outside of combat arms performed this type of duty when mobilized. So, yes, he participated in Operation Enduring Freedom in Italy because that is how his orders were funded under USC 10. There are two different Enduring Freedom medals. Those who went to Afghanistan and Iraq and a “Service” medal for those who simply served during the period of the GWOT. His lie is about carry a weapon in war and retiring as a Command Sergeant Major. He is using mobilization under Enduring Freedom funding to buttress the lie.
He was misleading but technically accurate
Unreal that we have yahoos, right here, defending this disgusting clown.
He clearly says in that video that he carried a weapon in war.
No! Nationally he is unknown. We have to create a impression of him before he has time nationally to create a new persona for people who do not know him.
If I am not mistaken, his unit augmented Air Force Security Forces in either Italy or Greece. Much the same as a company of Marines did when I was at Bien Hoa in 72.
