When Kamala picked Gov. Tim Walz, she thought she was getting a bona fide war hero to stand behind her.
Turns out that the only combat Tim saw was squabbling over gelatos in Italy. Not only did Gov. Walz duck and run when he knew he would have to serve in Iraq, but he launched his political career as a war veteran. Living a lie, Walz spent the years since carefully massaging his phrases to make it sound like he had been in a war zone.
“In the years after that classroom, I had the privilege of serving in this state’s national guard. I stood one night in the dark of night on the tarmac at Bagram Air Base and watched a military ramp ceremony–a soldier’s body being loaded onto a plane to be returned home,” Walz said in a 2021 speech.
Walz kept playing this little game where he groups events together or leaves out context to make it seem like he’s seen war (he did this also with a speech about PTSD).
There’s intentionality behind that.

Massaging phrases is very dangerous. Can be very misleading. And boomerang on the person doing the massaging.

And what is it about Dirtbagocrats and fake war stories? Dickhead Blumenthal, Joke Bidumb and now this Walz asshole? I don’t get it. They know they’re going to get caught out in their lies.

Doesn’t Tim Walz-ing with the devil in the pale moon light see what happens to pathological liars like Quid Pro Joe Briben?
They blow their mind trying to recall which lies goes to what alibis and end up with full blown drooling dementia.

Like Walz, I used to play army, too. Of course, I was only ten at the time, pretending to be Sgt. Saunders fighting Nazis in France. (It was actually just my neighborhood.) But I did have a cool plastic weapon-of-war Thompson machine gun. And if I must say, my military record was exemplary.

Are any Democrat politicians decent people? Perhaps Tulsi Gabbard is, and she left the Party. What this says about Democrat voters is not pretty!

Walter Mitty, call your office.
