Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz suggested in an interview with CBS News’s 60 Minutes that aired on Tuesday that his “misspeaking” does not matter because Minnesotans know and support him. “I think folks know who I am. And I think they know the difference between someone expressing emotion, telling a story, getting a date wrong by — you — rather than a pathological liar like Donald Trump,” he responded when asked about his lie that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square Massacre when he was actually in Nebraska. When pressed on whether he could be trusted...

As recently as 2011, Tim Walz claimed in official biographies for his campaign and congressional office that he was on the verge of completing a doctorate in education, a decade after he enrolled in a doctorate program at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota in the small town of Winona. The university, however, told the Washington Free Beacon that its last records indicating Walz was an active student are dated to 2004. "We can confirm that Governor Walz attended Saint Mary's from 2001-2004 in our doctorate level Ed.D. program," the school's communications director, Ashly Bissen, told the Free Beacon. "He did...

The House Education and Workforce Committee subpoenaed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday for records related to a $250 million COVID-19 relief fraud scheme that occurred on his watch. Walz, 60, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, was ordered to hand over any documents about the scandal, which involved pandemic relief funds being distributed via “the Minnesota Department of Education’s (MDE) administration of federal child nutrition programs (FCNP).” Rather than nourishing hungry children, however, the money funded lavish lifestyles — including fancy cars and real estate holdings as far away as Turkey and Kenya — for the operators of a fraudulent...

Another damning indictment against “habitual liar” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz came courtesy of four veterans who served with the vice presidential nominee ahead of a premiere slamming the “coward.” If the Democratic Party thought that concerns about their vice presidential nominee allegedly committing stolen valor could be swept under the rug, radio host Megyn Kelly had an interview to prove how wrong they were. Ahead of the Monday debut of a discussion with Minnesota National Guard veterans, the commentator teased impressions of Walz that raised the question, “What are you gonna do at the national level?” As Kelly posited, “Why...

Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-Minn.) brother is warning Americans that voting for a Harris-Walz ticket could mean for the future of the United States. The governor’s brother, Jeff Walz, has a Facebook account, which Laura Loomer, a Republican political activist, discovered after finding shocking revelations about Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate. “The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future," Jeff Walz reportedly wrote in a comment. Walz’s brother warned people on his social media account about the governor’s radical ideologies, saying he hasn’t spoken to his brother...

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,...

Earlier, we shared with you Tim Walz’s pathetic excuse for decades of stolen valor. Here it is, again, in case you missed it: CNN REPORTER: You said you carried weapons in war, but you never deployed to war. TIM WALZ: I'm proud of my service and my record. I speak candidly. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. REPORTER: The idea you were in war. Did you misspeak? WALZ: My grammar's not always correct. pic.twitter.com/QPssoHSIov — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 30, 2024 We will go as far as to say no one believed that excuse—or that the number of people...

Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz has been caught lying about a number of things, and a letter from 2006 to Walz from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce is now making the rounds showing this has been a pattern for quite a while: What else has this guy lied about? From the Free Beacon: When Tim Walz launched his 2006 campaign for Congress in rural Minnesota, he boasted in his public biography that in 1993, he "was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his service in the education, military, and small business communities." That...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was introduced as "Command Sergeant Major" despite not retiring with the title from the military at a meeting for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday. The improper introduction comes as Walz has faced criticisms of "stolen valor" for using the title repeatedly during his political career. At the event on Monday, a woman spoke introducing Walz, saying, "I am so proud to welcome our vice-presidential candidate, soon to be nominee for vice president, Command Master Sergeant — and I'm going to start with the title that is very important to me — the Command Sergeant...
