A CNN correspondent harshly fact-checked Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., on Wednesday, declaring that "there is no evidence" he carried weapons in combat as the vice presidential candidate appeared to previously imply.
Since Vice President Kamala Harris announced Walz as her 2024 running mate, his political and military record have come under intense scrutiny. Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, former President Trump’s running mate, accused Walz of misleading the country about his veteran status on Wednesday.
"He said, 'We shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war to be on America's streets.' Well, I wonder, Tim Walz, when were you ever in war? When was this? What was this weapon that you carried into war?" Vance asked. He then went on to say that Walz "has not spent a day in a combat zone" and accused him of stolen valor.
CNN correspondent Tom Foreman fact-checked claims about Walz’s military record that same day, recalling, "Walz did make a comment, speaking to a group — he’s done it a couple of times, where he has used language that suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation."......
A Harris campaign spokesperson told CNN, "In his 24 years of service, the Governor carried, fired and trained others to use weapons of war innumerable times. Governor Walz would never insult or undermine any American’s service to this country – in fact, he thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country. It’s the American way."

There was a hilarious scene in the "M*A*S*H" TV show where Frank Burns put in for, and was awarded a Purple Heart for "catching a shell fragment" in his eye. Hawkeye said "I treated that injury, Frank; you cracked open an egg and got an egg shell fragment in your eye!".
Tim Walz is the Frank Burns of our era...

Everything about Harris and Walz is false their just Marxist’s with masks on even their party are full on Marxist.
And Kamala is “Hotlips Harris”..
Somebody should photoshop this and put their faces in it...
Looking back, I was stung by a bee on REFORGER ‘77. Right on the temple, my eye was swollen shut for two days. Never thought about it much over the years. No, it was certainly not Purple Heart stuff…lol, ridiculous.
He is old enough to have been in the Balkans while it was still a shooting war zone in the early 1990s people got combat service ribbons for Kosovo and the Balkans. I wonder if his Italian unit ever crossed the sea into that clusterF Clinton got us into. He certainly would have plenty of trigger time on the M16A2/3, M4 and M249 or 240 probably the M9 and M19 as well. He is of course referring to the M16 family which is similar to the civy AR platform in appearance but only LEO/MIL get the select fire post 1986 so not the same weapons system. Either way he is a gun grabbing commie which also proves about half the military are firmly lefties never forget that.
With today’s precision aiming and locating of targets, big yield is not much of a factor anymore.
Hilary and Chelsea nearly got shot on the tarmac!!
So, Tim Walz has dementia like Joe Biden?
Walz served in Vietnam with Richard Blumenthal ... that qualifies as combat.
Walz is more like John Kerry- actually did serve in a war zone, but exaggerated his injuries.
Sorry, meant Frank Burns is more like Kerry.
And look at how focused on their candidates those three people in the lower right corner are. I wonder who Harris and Timmah are waving at ?
Then one of the debate questions for him should be ... What did you use or take to get this miracle cure to your hearing and balance issues? Vets across the nation would like the chance to attempt to cure their hearing.
How could he hear the officer telling him he was pulled over for speeding ?
When you lose your hearing it doesn't come back. How come he can hear fine now ?
They were celebrating themselves. Walz is really beside himself he was picked....everyone else is beside themselves too but for other reasons!
Walz has long-billed himself as a retired Command Sergeant Major —
when in reality he was demoted to the lower rank of master sergeant.
