The Harris-Walz campaign appears to want people to believe that Tim Walz “misspoke” about “carrying a weapon of war in war.” Many Harris supporters would like for individuals to believe that Walz “was not” aware that his unit was going to be deploying to Iraq when he decided to retire. J.D. Vance and others are not buying the Harris-Walz explanations.<\/p>\n

From Washington Examiner:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Walz has faced accusations of abandoning his National Guard unit since being named the Democratic vice presidential candidate on Aug. 6. If the Trump-Vance campaign has its way, that story will stay in the headlines a while longer.<\/p>\n

“Tim Walz said that he carried a weapon in war. He never went to war,” Vance said at a Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. post in western Pennsylvania. “Tim Walz said that he didn’t know his united was about to deploy to Iraq when even his own press release at the time said that he knew exactly that. Tim Walz claimed to be a command sergeant major, even had it printed on his challenge coins, and he knew he never achieved that rank.”<\/p>\n

During earlier runs for office, Walz was met with similar criticisms, but he has defended his record by saying, “You should never denigrate another person’s service record.”<\/p>\n

He has characterized the claims as attacks on his service record.<\/p>\n

Vance’s Thursday morning event was heavy on military themes, with flags representing the various service branches present behind the speakers and several fellow veterans before him. Pat Harrigan, who is running for Congress in North Carolina, had perhaps the sharpest words for Walz.<\/p>\n

“Tim Walz is a coward who betrayed his men at their greatest time of need,” Harrigan said. “He is not fit to serve as our vice president.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
