A video has surfaced showing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz referring to himself as a “retired Command Sergeant Major” in a speech he gave to veterans back in 2006 – a false label that he was not permitted to use. “I’m Tim Walz and I’m running for Congress in Minnesota’s first congressional district,” he said to the crowd. “I’m a retired Command Sergeant Major. I spent 24 years in the Army National Guard. I spent the better part of two decades as a public school teacher. I’m a small business owner,...

Fox News host Laura Ingraham shreds Harris running mate Gov. Tim Walz’s "rank dishonesty" regarding claims around his military service on " ." LAURA INGRAHAM: The made me remember one of those old New England expressions my mom used to say. "Watch what you say," she would say, "You don't want to leave people with the wrong impression." Well, it was assumed that leaving the wrong impression is nothing anyone would ever want to do, but in the Minnesota governor's case, it appears that leaving the wrong impression was actually...

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign quietly edited Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s biography on Thursday to remove a reference to him as a “retired command sergeant major.” Walz has fallen under scrutiny from Republicans for referring to himself as a retired command sergeant major when, in reality, he was only conditionally promoted to the rank but failed to perform the training necessary to permanently obtain it before retiring as a master sergeant in 2005, according to a statement provided by the Minnesota National Guard to Just the News on Wednesday....

While some call Tim Walz “Tampon Tim,” others call him a liar and a traitor. The Minnesota governor has allegedly misrepresented his military service after reportedly abandoning his unit before a deployment to Iraq. Thomas Behrends went in his place. “I needed to hit the ground running and take care of the troops — and tell them we were going to war,” Behrends told the New York Post. “For a guy in that position, to quit is cowardice.” Behrends is a 63-year-old farmer in Brewster, Minnesota, and believes the Democratic...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz touted misleading descriptions of his military service during his 2006 congressional run, according to a media kit he distributed at the time obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Media kits, or press packets, are standard practice for candidates who seek to introduce themselves to the electorate and often feature a variety of news stories or interviews.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), and now running mate to Vice President Kamala Harris, has made his 24-year military career an important cornerstone of his political persona. He has made multiple references to his time in the Minnesota National Guard, but some of those comments have come under renewed scrutiny due to their misleading nature. Aside from putting in his retirement paperwork after it became clear his unit was going to be deployed to Iraq, Walz has also suggested in some of his remarks that he was in combat, even...

Since the Vietnam era, the Democrat posture has been to oppose war. Indeed, the only war Democrats have been enthusiastic about since then is the Ukraine War, which is a bloodbath that will have no direct discernable effect on America’s national security (although it is draining our weapons supply). This reality does not mean that Democrats have not served in the military and used that service to advance their political careers. Minnesota governor Tim Walz traded on his service in the National Guard for decades. Now that he’s playing in...

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) falsely claimed he is a “retired Command Sergeant Major” in a resurfaced 2009 video the then-Congressman recorded for soldiers from his own former division deploying to Iraq. The video emerged after Kamala Harris’s campaign scrubbed vice-presidential nominee Walz’s official bio, removing its reference to Waltz retiring as a command sergeant major in the National Guard amid ongoing scandal. As Breitbart’s Kristina Wong reported, Walz’s “rank was reduced to master sergeant since he did not finish the requirements to retire as a command sergeant major. Despite this,...
