Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has surely benefited from his portrayal as the country’s “football dad.” But he wouldn’t have passed the truth test in my father’s household, where lying was ranked as the highest punishable offense.
I’m not saying that Walz lies, precisely. But he tends to gild his résumé for political gain. He’s hardly the first to do this. And it’s not always detrimental to one’s career, as Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), has proved. Blumenthal claimed to be a Vietnam veteran even though he sought and received at least five deferments to avoid serving in the war.
Walz, too, is a bit of a fibber.
Take his 1995 arrest for drunken and reckless driving. Walz, then a 31-year-old high school teacher, was clocked at 96 mph in a 55-mph zone in Nebraska. He was pulled over by a state trooper, who, upon smelling alcohol, asked Walz to take a field sobriety test, which he failed. Walz then submitted to a hospital for a blood test, which revealed his blood alcohol level to be 0.128, well above the state’s legal limit.
All this information is recorded in police records, yet during Walz’s 2006 congressional campaign, the press was told that he hadn’t been drinking, that he drove himself to the police station and that the reason he failed his field sobriety test was because of a misunderstanding related to hearing loss from his time in the National Guard artillery unit.
In 2018, when Walz was running for governor of Minnesota, he came clean and admitted to drinking and driving. Telling the truth eventually is better than never at all, I suppose — and Walz now refers to his incarceration that night as life-changing. Today, his...

They’re both drunks a liars.
There is also one getting lost in the shuffle about how he claimed he received an Outstanding citizen award by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, when the honor was from Jaycees, IIRC.
....Tim Walz isn’t exactly what he seems.....
Right! He is happy to be an ELCA member!
Tiny Tim Tampon is definitely not a Command Sergeant Major as is printed on his so called “challenge” coin.
I guess the campaign thinks it's working because now they have Kamalama-ding-dong's husband doing it.
He seems to be a lying pedo fag ...
Tim Walz is a blowhard, lying, bully. He’s not fit to lead a pack of dogs.
Until he reconciles the 450 million dollars in fraud going on in MN right now, he should be in jail.
He has not addressed the citizens, who’s money it is, nor has he fired any of his co-conspirators in the Feeding our Future scandal.
He should never be considered a viable candidate for anything.
He looks like a male Democrat who has been sucking on the government tit his whole life.
The Fake and the Snake
When you’ve lost Kathleen Parker, you’ve lost as a Democrat. Or do I have her confused with Katty Kay?
To paraphrase Vince Ellison; ‘Wlll you go to hell for Harris, Walz, and the Democrat party’? It appears that millions are quite willing to do so.
I’ve experienced “Minnesota nice” when it was real!
Those days are long gone!
He’s a bigger liar than Jon Lovitz. In fact, the Trump campaigh should try and get Lovitz to do a TV commercial.
Since Walz evidently lies, why is it a problem for this WaPo writer to say so?
He did... Walz, too, is a bit of a fibber.
You're just not supposed to recognize, precisely, when the writer did so.
He seems like a complete turd, lying, bloviating, anti American, communist put into place in desperate measure in order to keep Kamala out of making a complete disaster out of herself.
There’s more?
