CNN Commentator: Walz Meant 'Training' When Claiming He Carried Weapon 'In War'
NewsBusters ^ | Crimson Staff Writers

If this is the best that Dem MSM hacks can come up with to defend Tim Walz's claim that he carried weapons "in war," Kamala Harris's VP pick could be in some real trouble.

On CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt put it to former Hillary spokesperson Karen Finney, now a CNN commentator:

"So, Karen, Walz did say that I carried in war. And we do know that doesn't seem to be the case. But he did, would have trained extensively in preparation for it, with these types of weapons."

Finney latched like a drowning woman onto Hunt's mention of training:

"Exactly. And so, my reading of it is, you know, he was, I think, talking about the training."

It must be hard at CNN to find people this stupid.

Oh wait. Public Schools.

You can always count on the lame stream media to come to the rescue, to cover the lies of their Masters on the RAT Plantation.

When are people going to ask how this guy with a degree in social science education and a masters degree in education leadership got so rich. Doesn’t look like he made a lot until he entered politics. Then he and his family started acquiring wealth. Looks like Biden approach may have been used.

Training, even “War games”, is not war. Tactics, strategy, and equipment are made as real as possible, but there is NO live ammunition flying about. Weapons are being carried, but not actually firing rounds.

“War games”, though, can have its share of casualties. Big dangerous machinery out there moving around, and not everybody is equally alert. And there are failures of even the best protocols.

Isn’t it weird how the media twist themselves into pretzels when they try to cover for Democrats.

They are trying to turn it onto Trump because they tried stealing valor. Whatever the truth is we know one thing for sure. Trump is the only one of the 4 who was ever shot and lived to tell about it.

It’s hysterical how the left hates war but when war happens, they claim heroic service in it.

In "war games", you're working with dangerous equipment in hazardous situations.

In "war", people are trying their damndest to KILL YOU.

“I cannot state emphatically enough, we are watching an ***engineered*** ***choreographed*** controlled demolition of the ‘Rat party. All the signs are there, just need to connect the dots. It’s the ONLY explanation that makes sense to me.”

Maybe God is sending the god-less leftists an even stronger delusion. You know....about that dream that they now have a snowball’s chance (or a Pelosi’s chance) in Hell of Harris/Walz winning in November. They’ll proceed to ramp up the fraud/cheat machinery....as a “just in case” tactic. More arrows in that quiver to come, no doubt.

The Minnesota national guard issues the AR15? Training or not, what Walz said was probably a lie. If he was issued the M16, it was definitely a lie. An M16 is not an AR15.

Lower your voice. There isn't any more to say.

All military train for war.

That does not mean all of them are combat veterans.

Even those who are deployed to a combat zone are not all combat veterans.

To be a combat veteran you must have been in combat.

Not training. Not serving at the time of. Not just in the area.

A hundred year old 1911, which is a seven shot,semi-automatic pistol, is a “weapon of war.” So is a bayonet.
