Harris Campaign Controversy: Tim Walz’s Military Claims Exposed August 8, 2024

EDIT…after being EXPOSED for lying about this military experience, the Harris campaign has decided to modify Walz’ bio…

The Harris campaign has altered its biography of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on its campaign website, making a change to a reference to his military service amid ongoing scrutiny of the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee’s military credentials.

Walz’s biography initially said he was a “retired Command Sergeant Major.” 

It has since been updated to say that he “served as a command sergeant major.”

As a former Recon Marine we run into this a LOT. You see guys who say: “I was Recon” When you ask them directly, they say “I served WITH Recon”. Big difference..

The Harris campaign tried to cover for Tim Walz by releasing the following statement:

“After 24 years of military service, Governor Walz retired in 2005 and ran for Congress, where he chaired Veterans Affairs and was a tireless advocate for our men and women in uniform – and as Vice President of the United States he will continue to be a relentless champion for our veterans and military families. 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.“

Great. Doesn’t change the fact he lied about going to war and carrying a weapon in war. Shame on him.
