Shortly after Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, the Trump-Vance campaign called into question claims he previously made about his military service, opening a broadside against the U.S. Navy veteran that some Republicans now liken to “sort of a Swift Boat 2.0 attack.”
It is a reference to the highly contentious playbook the GOP used against Sen. John Kerry when the Massachusetts Democrat ran for the White House in 2004, in large part on his record as a junior naval officer in Vietnam. Those character attacks, widely panned at the time, called into question whether Kerry really deserved his combat medals, notably the three Purple Hearts he was awarded while commanding Swift Boats in the Mekong Delta. For better or worse, this line of criticism has now been rebooted for Walz in the 2024 election.
Walz likely remembers the history well. His first foray into politics was as a volunteer for the Kerry campaign in Minnesota, and later, as the district coordinator of an organization called “Vets for Kerry.” So does Chris LaCivita, a senior advisor to the Trump campaign, who worked as the chief strategist for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a veteran’s group that worked to scuttle the 2004 Kerry campaign.
LaCivita made the comparison explicit in an interview with RealClearPolitics. “Birds of a feather,” he said of Walz and Kerry, “will be tarred together.”
The battle to define the vice-presidential candidate was joined the moment Harris brought him on stage in Philadelphia Tuesday evening. Her running mate was “more than a governor,” she told an at-capacity crowd in Philadelphia Tuesday. To his constituents, he was “Congressman.” To his high school football players, “Coach.” And, she added, “to his fellow veterans, he is Sergeant Major Walz.”
Walz retired from the Minnesota National Guard in 2005, ending a 24-year career shortly before his unit, the National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, deployed to Iraq.
“When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, do you know what he did? He dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him – a fact that he’s been criticized for aggressively by a lot of the people that he served with,” said Trump running mate Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. A Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq, Vance added, “I think it’s shameful to prepare your unit to go to Iraq, to make a promise that you’re going to follow through, and then to drop out right before you actually have to go.”....

He keeps “misspoke -ing” Here with a coin he had made up at taxpayer expense and also his twitter account shows the wrong rank he was not entitled to.

He has been lying for decades.
is there a VP debate date under discussion?
Goodness gracious
Great Walz of China
Is Kinzinger GAY?? Isn’t that what GRINDR is all about??
“ The great thing about ‘swift boating’... It worked and America avoided having John Kerry as the President... A man who would’ve been a terrible leader. 3 purple hearts in 3 months... Seriously?
Then he came home, joined the antiwar movement and started telling lies and half truths about America’s involvement in Vietnam, and he said he was ashamed of his service... He didn’t deserve to be the commander in chief.”
He became Secretary of State
He’s still welding power.
add Blumenthal to the list
It’s hard to say whether Adam Kinzinger personally swings that way. (I wouldn’t doubt it one bit.) But I’ve heard that Grindr has a lot of “Log Cabin Republican” types — homosexuals who claim to be Republican. If so, they definitely fit the RINO profile.
I have no doubt that there will be one, probably in October after Kamala the Hooker fluffs one or more debates with Trump.
In a debate, Walz the Deserter would be a lot more formidable on offense because unlike Kamala the Hooker, he is articulate & he can think on his feet. But he has a whole lot of vulnerabilities on defense, as we've discussed here: his inflated military record, the horse semen incident when he was a frat boy & of course, his radically left-wing record.
As noted earlier in the thread, as a Congressman, Walz the Deserter made 30+ trips to China in just a few years. He could have been a bagman or courier for Hunter Biden's little influence peddling operation, or some other scheme to sell us out.
His voting record as Congressman & decisions as governor are also in lunatic left-wing fringe territory, but he's being falsely presented as embodying "moderate Midwestern values."
Kamala the Hooker ran him up the flagpole before the convention, to see who salutes. And of course, the devoted propaganda bureaus (once known as "news media") are doing their duty. But this is the age of social media. Anybody with the slightest degree of curiosity will quickly learn that Walz the Deserter is not who they say he is. He's a radical left-wing partisan, way too cozy with China, who abandoned his battalion & ran home when they were going into combat in Iraq.
since a lot on Walz, KH’s shapeshifting is coming to light on Twitter/X, i was interested to read 34% of X followers identify as independents. also @realDonaldTrump just posted there last night, 1st time in ages since he has Truth Social. it looks like it is being set up as platform to get to broader constituency.
So Putz served in the MN National Guard for 24 years but when it came time to call them up to quell the BLM riots, he dissed them by calling them 18 year old cooks. Also, how did Putz accumulate a net worth of 138 million with his resume? The Red China travel agency? We know Kerry got rich by marrying the ketchup widow. The marriage ceremony was practically held at the still smoking plane crash.
What also worked was Catholics Against Kerry which swung Ohio and New Mexico to Bush. I was the Director of Field Operations for CAK.
“@realDonaldTrump just posted there last night, 1st time in ages since he has Truth Social.”
About time. People who need to know the truth don’t go to Truth Social, but they do go to Twitter/X. This is war and he needs to use every option available to get the news out.
I venerate what the Swift Boat Veterans did in 2004. They could have sat at home, done nothing like millions of other Americans, and lived their lives without hassle.
God Bless every Swift Boat Veteran who spoke up, knowing full well they would be vilified by the Media.
Swift Boat men have showed they are no Summer Soldiers and have as much Patriot Blood as those men who shed it walking in their bare feet in the snow at Valley Forge. [Hand Salute]
Fox has been interviewing the National Guard CSM who was called to replace Walz when he suddenly "retired" and abandoned his troop. He basically calls Walz a POS.
Actually, his official retirement rank is Master Sergeant (MSG).
Walz didn’t complete the requirements for the Command Sergeant Major (CSM) rank to become permanent, so he wasn’t so much demoted as returned to the rank he had earned.
And, no, I am not defending him. Just being accurate. What he did is despicable.
Let’s hope Swift Boat 2.0 is as successful as Swift Boat 1.0. They torpedoed John Kerry’s presidential hopes.
KINZINGER CRIED INAPPROPRIATLY.....THAT’S ALL I NEED TO KNOW

Tampon Timmy is treading on very dangerous ground. He is greiviously offending men and women trained at arms.
A month or so ago, President Trump was introduced to the element Pb, at the hands of a Deep State groomed patsy whose sole use was to use his index finger and die.
It Timmy is not careful , he will not have to suffer such an introduction from a groomed amature. Feelings in the country are running horribly high, after what happened to the Donald.
Dangerous times.
