Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) said Thursday that attacks on Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) over his military service reminded her of the infamous Swift Boat attacks against former Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) during his run for president in 2004.
Sherrill told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that she felt compelled to speak out about the military accusations against Walz, who served more than two decades in the Army National Guard, because they are “so incredibly offensive.”
“It’s reminiscent of the Swift Boat bulls— that Senator Kerry faced in his election. We’re seeing the same type of people trying to reignite this same kind of slanderous campaign against a man who served for 24 years in the National Guard,” she said Thursday.
Sherrill, who is a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, also defended Walz’s record in a post on X. She called the attacks on his military background “a disgrace,” but said it’s the “same old divisive show” from former President Trump.

Accurate and effective attacks on a morally bankrupt candidate.
So let’s quote Harry Reid: “It worked, didn’t it?”
I compared it to the Swift Boat attacks against Kerry as soon as I heard it. And it should be just as effective.
One of the things that caused me to stop listening to Bill Oreiley was when he came down on the Swift boat story as nonsense. That was when I realized he was trying to hang on to his “thinking moderate” persona way too hard.
The way the dems are dragging their obscure veteran traitor members out of the woodwork for this, it will probably be as successful as the Swift Boat thing was with Kerry.
meaning....its all true
not slander when it’s true
democrats sending the message of “always dispute the truth”.
I don’t think he realizes how correct this is. F’kerry was swiftboated because he lied and threw his medals. Now, Tampon Tim lies about his military service. This is the demonrat party.
Yeah, and how about the hit jobs on Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, Dan Quayle, Jack Kemp, Sarah Palin, Mike Pence.
How about those??
Mikie “I Know Nothin” Sherill from New Joysey (Never heard of anything with that “identity”) Reportin’ for Doody to save Queen Kamalalala’s ass.
Communist scumbag cowards, both of them. Why should it not look the same?
The SWIFTIES WERE RIGHT ABOUT KERRY!
Kerry was actually “awarded” (verb intentional) purple hearts.
He didn’t like
Waltz is just a liar who claimed to be a combat veteran when he never left the lower 48 states.
like = lie
This guy fled his National Guard Unit when they got Iraq deploy orders.
“...baldface lies about his service.”
What to do when the truth offends you???
Yeah, Democrats just hate it when you contradict their fairy-tale narratives with facts.
