An archived press release is being seen as the “smoking gun” in the controversy surrounding Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and his military record. Walz, tapped as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate this week, has made headlines over his departure from the Army National Guard and sidestepping a deployment to Iraq when he ran for Congress in 2005. The concerns over “stolen valor” have been circulating as Democrats accuse critics of lying about Walz and the timing of his retirement from the Minnesota National Guard. “Walz served in the...

Elected Democrats have grown so accustomed to lying with impunity that they probably think nothing of it. Fortunately, for Republicans and conservatives, they seem to have blundered into one of the few remaining lies that Americans will not tolerate. On Wednesday, Army Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, the Minnesota National Guard’s State Public Affairs Officer, added detail to an emerging picture when she confirmed to Just the News that Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, tabbed on Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate and currently embroiled in a...

Facing allegations that Kamala Harris’s running mate, Tim Walz, dodged deployment to Iraq while serving in the National Guard, the Vice President’s camp is baselessly smearing a veteran endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Marine Corps veteran Senator J.D. Vance. “Unearthed: JD Vance supported a congressional candidate who egregiously lied about his military service and claimed he was deployed to Afghanistan when he never was,” the Harris campaign declared on social media, accusing the candidate—J.R.

Tom Schilling, a veteran who served in the same battalion as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, said Walz "ditched" him and other soldiers before they were deployed to Iraq in 2005. "We all did what we were supposed to do, we did the right thing," Schilling said on Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime" Wednesday. "It's dishonorable what he did. He left somebody else up to take over his spot. He just ditched us." "It would be a disaster if he ever got to be the commander-in-chief," Schilling said of Walz, who...

Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is in hot water over a series of false and exaggerated claims that he "carried weapons of war" overseas.

During a segment on CNN Wednesday Walz was called out for his "absolutely false" statements, which he's made a number of times. Republican Congressman Brian Mast, who lost both of his legs fighting in Afghanistan, has taken notice. As has former Navy SEAL and Republican Congressman Eli Crane.

Those who served in Walz' National Guard unit, which he abandoned, aren't holding back.

Embattled Democrat vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (MN) voted “Yea” on the federal Stolen Valor Act of 2013 during his time as a U.S. congressman. The vote seems ironic because Walz has been facing accusations of stolen valor, especially after a video surfaced Wednesday of him misrepresenting his military career by falsely claiming he served in war. The Stolen Valor Act amended provisions concerning fraudulent claims about military service, according to Congress.gov: Stolen Valor Act of 2013 – Amends the federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent...

As former President Trump blasts Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over his response to the unrest in his state in May 2020 following the murder of George Floyd, a resurfaced audio recording shows that Trump had praised Walz at the time for how he "dominated" the situation.In the audio recording, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, Trump was on a phone call with Walz and other governors and officials on June 1, 2020."What they did in Minneapolis was incredible. They went in and dominated, and it happened immediately,"...

Republican-led attempts to discredit Tim Walz’s handling of protests following the police murder of George Floyd have been firmly undermined after old audio confirmed Donald Trump praised Minnesota’s governor amid the social justice demonstrations.

Donald and his GOP allies have jumped on a new angle of attack when it comes to Kamala Harris' running mate, but it is "inaccurate" and won't work, according to a former Republican lawmaker. Trump and others have questioned Tim Walz's military record, suggesting he "abandoned" his platoon when he ran for a political office after decades of service in reserves. Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who himself served in the U.S. Air Force, condemned the military attacks. "As anyone who has served in the military knows, there are often...

A firestorm has reignited around Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after his selection as the running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential bid. Allegations about his honesty with voters regarding his military service have plagued Walz before, and it is a concern that doesn’t appear to be going away — especially if those who served with him have their way. Multiple former service members have accused the governor of “stolen valor” because he has repeatedly tried to couch his conditional promotion to command sergeant major and subsequent demotion to...
