Walz Says He Lied About Going To War For Strange Reason

Oh, Tim Walz. Here we go again with another politician who’s built his career on “misspeaking”—a polite way of saying he’s been lying to the American people. Walz, the guy who now finds himself as the number two on the Democrats’ forced “dream team” ticket with Kamala Harris, just can’t seem to help himself. On Thursday night, after dodging tough questions for weeks, Walz sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash for what was laughably called an “interview.” Let’s be clear: This was no grilling; it was a cozy fireside chat on the propaganda network where journalistic integrity goes to die.

The Stolen Valor Lie

During the interview, Bash tried—half-heartedly, of course—to get to the bottom of one of Walz’s most egregious lies. She asked about his past claims of carrying weapons in a war zone, despite never having deployed to one. Instead of coming clean, Walz dodged, deflected, and delivered a bizarre excuse about “misspeaking.” But let’s call it what it is: he lied.

Back in 2018, while pushing his anti-gun agenda, Walz bragged, “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.” Except, there’s one glaring problem—Walz never served in a combat zone. His unit was called up during the early days of the Iraq War, but they went to Italy. Later, in 2005, when his National Guard unit was preparing to deploy to Iraq, Walz conveniently retired, opting to run for Congress instead. He even falsely claimed the title of “retired Command Sergeant Major,” a rank he never actually held. It’s stolen valor, plain and simple, and it’s a disgrace.

Bluster, Deflection, and More Lies

When pressed by Bash, Walz looked visibly irritated. It’s almost like he’s annoyed that anyone is questioning the false narrative he’s spun for years. He went on to spew a stream of platitudes, saying, “I’m incredibly proud. I’ve done 24 years of wearing the uniform of my country.” That’s all well and good, Tim, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve been lying about the nature of your service for political gain.

Walz also tried to hide behind his other service, talking about his time in the classroom and his political career, as if that somehow erases the lie about carrying weapons in a war zone. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. His record does speak for itself—a record of extreme left-wing policies that have left Minnesota’s once-proud cities scarred by riots and lockdowns. But good luck finding anyone in the mainstream media who’ll challenge him on that.

Grammar Excuses and Bizarre Deflections

Bash, to her credit, didn’t entirely back down. She pressed Walz again on his misleading claims. “And the idea that you said you were in war, did you misspeak as the campaign has said?” Bash asked, giving Walz yet another chance to own up. Instead, Walz doubled down, saying, “Yeah, I said we were talking in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war.” What does that even mean?

Then came the truly absurd part. Walz shifted the blame to his own wife, claiming his supposed “misspeaking” was a matter of bad grammar. That’s right, grammar. As if mixing up a verb tense is the same as falsely claiming combat experience. “And my wife, the English teacher, told me my grammar is not always correct,” Walz said. It’s not a grammar problem, Tim—it’s a character problem.

Blaming Everyone But Himself

In classic fashion, Walz didn’t stop there. He blamed his critics, including fellow National Guard members who actually served in combat, for calling him out. He rambled about his enemies attacking him, his children, and even his dog—because when you’re caught lying, why not throw out the most ridiculous deflections possible?

“But, again, if it’s not this it’s an attack on my children for showing love for me or it’s an attack on my dog,” Walz complained. Give me a break. Nobody’s attacking your family, Tim—they’re attacking you for lying about your service. He tried to claim the moral high ground, saying he’d never “demean another service member’s service.” But guess what? That’s exactly what he’s been doing for years by pretending he’s something he’s not.

A Coward’s Way Out

Walz’s lies aren’t just offensive; they’re deeply hurtful to the families of those who actually served and sacrificed. Kathy Miller, whose son Sgt. Kyle Miller was killed in Iraq in 2006, said it best: “My son wasn’t even 21 years old. He couldn’t even buy alcohol. Yet he took the step to serve our country while Walz found the best way to run away,” she told the Daily Mail. “It was the coward’s way out.”

That’s the harsh truth of Tim Walz’s so-called service. He chose political ambition over standing with his fellow soldiers, then turned around and used their sacrifice as a talking point in his political career. It’s a slap in the face to every American who’s ever put on the uniform, and it’s exactly the kind of behavior we’ve come to expect from career politicians who think the rules don’t apply to them.

So, the next time Walz tries to brush off his lies as “misspeaking,” remember: this is a guy who’s willing to say anything, do anything, and lie about everything to get ahead. And that, my friends, is exactly why he’s wrong for America.
