Tim Walz Dodges Responsibility for Stolen Valor Scandal, Blames It on ‘Bad Grammar’

We reported that Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden Kamala Harris agreed to a formal interview more than a month after Joe had quit his re-election campaign, and given her the keys to their car. She would only sit down for an interview if the CNN anchor Dana Bash was a notoriously biased person, and if Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, her emotional support governor, were to accompany her. (To be fair to Dana Bash, despite being a left-wing hack who is always reliable, she asked some hard questions. She wasn’t Mike Wallace, searching for a story to tell. But she did show a marked difference in her usual pandering to Democrats.)

They’re trying to sell Tim Walz (on the surface) as a decent guy. He served his country and has a family. He also taught and coached soccer, which are all things that I respect. It seems he also tends to fudge the truth. Bash asked Walz about his most controversial lie, which was his misrepresentation during his military service.

He was more slippery than a snake drenched in oil.

BASH: Governor Walz. The country is only just getting to know you. I’d like to ask you about the way you described your time in the National Guard.

WALZ: Yeah.

BASH: Although you said you had carried weapons during wartime, you’ve never actually deployed in a conflict zone. You misspoke, according to a campaign official. You misspoke?

WALZ: I am incredibly proud. I’ve worn the uniform of this nation for 24 years. I’m equally proud of my work in public schools, whether it was Congress or –or the governor. [Kamala watches on glowingly.]

My record speaks volumes, but I believe people want to get to me. I speak as they do. I am honest. I am not afraid to show my feelings. I have a strong opinion about the shooting of our children in schools, around guns, and other places. What is your point?

I believe that people are familiar with me. They know me. They know who I am.

It is important to note that nothing he said had anything to do with the question posed.

Watch:

CNN followed up on the story.

BASH: Did you mispronounce when you said you were at war?

WALZ: Yes, I said – we were discussing in this case – this was following a school shooting – the idea of carrying these war weapons. My wife, an English teacher, told me that my grammar wasn’t always correct. If it isn’t this, then it could be an attack against my children because they show love for me or an attack against my dog.

I won’t do it. I will never denigrate the service of another member in any way. I’ve never done it and I won’t.

Walz is a remarkable cagey man, even though he has a downhome, “good ole boy” vibe. He’s been attacked for his service, but nobody ever did. They attacked him because they believed he misrepresented himself and his rank, and that he avoided his fellow service members to avoid being deployed to Iraq.

Bash replied, “The country has just begun to learn about you.” The more we know, the more horrifying it becomes.
