Does Tim Walz ever tell the truth about anything?
Now we find out that his claim that his political career started after he was refused entry to a George Bush campaign rally in 2004, and that inspired him to seek office so he could effect “change”.
Except…
…it turns out that that this, like just about everything this pathetic liar claims, was untrue. As detailed in Gabe Kaminsky’s article for the Washington Examiner:
This version of the political origin story for the Democratic vice presidential nominee, who is already facing “stolen valor” accusations over claims about his military service from combat veterans, contains significant inaccuracies.
For one, Walz was admitted into the Bush rally, according to a source familiar, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the August 2004 event. The two teenagers Walz arrived with, Matt Klaber and Nick Burkhart, were not his students, the Washington Examiner confirmed.
Moreover, the teenagers were barred from the event after a confrontation that made local news earlier in the week — leading to them initially being denied tickets.
And while Walz framed the squabble as the “moment that I decided to run for office” since he had “never been overly involved in political campaigns,” evidence suggests that Walz was already politically active by that point: He participated days earlier in an anti-Bush protest before the 2004 Bush rally in Mankota, Minnesota, on Aug. 4, an image confirms.
Add this to the voluminous – and continually growing – surfeit of lies Tim Walz tells about himself.
Want an extensive (but, it seems likely, still incomplete) list of Walz’s lies? Here’s a compilation by “bonchie”, writing for redstate.com:
Almost as soon as Kamala Harris’ running mate burst onto the national scene, Walz’s penchant for fabulism did as well. As RedState reported, he has repeatedly stolen valor over the years, from claiming to have carried weapons “in war” to claiming to be a retired Command Seargent Major when he was demoted for not completing the necessary training.
Walz’s tall tales didn’t end with that scandal, though. He has also misled the public on various other topics in pursuit of propping up his political career. For example, while falsely attacking Republicans, the Minnesota governor claimed his children were conceived with IVF. That wasn’t true. Further, Walz claimed to have received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce. He didn’t, and what amounted to a cease and desist letter had to be sent.
This is a guy who even lies about really stupid things. After being added to the ticket, Walz appeared in a scripted video claiming he liked “white guy tacos” and nothing spicier than black pepper. Hilariously, he had posted on social media two years earlier bragging about how he won a cooking competition making a spicy taco dish with chili powder in it.
Lovely.
Now, add in the fact that he is what amounts to a self-professed socialist – and one who has had a decades-long love affair with communist China (at least 30 trips there over the years, including his honeymoon), and one who has words of admiration for asad zaman, a Jew-hating/Israel-hating Imam who touted a pro-hitler documentary to his followers – and what have you got?
Do you really want this “man” one heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States?
If so, get out there on election day and vote for your hero. If not, consider the alternative.
