What Are the Top 7 Lies of Tim Walz?

Why anyone even considers voting for Kamala Harris is beyond my understanding. Are such people blind to the damages done to the United States and world by the Biden-Harris administration? Are they so consumed with hate for Trump – drummed up by the media parroting the lies of Democrats – that they would vote for four more years worse than the last four? Do they understand that Kamala Harris is so far Left that she is further left than Bernie Sanders? Do they really want their children and grandchildren to live in a socialized nation?

Then there is the question of Kamala Harris’s choice for a vice-presidential candidate, Tim Walz. She could have chosen someone who would have pulled her administration more to the center, but she did not. She chose a vice president who is more far Left than she is and one who has ties with China. Besides, he is a purveyor of “a string of lies, errors, and prevarications stretching back to his earliest days in politics, fibbing about everything from his military service to whether he won an obscure award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce as a 29-year-old man.”

In an article published at The Daily Signal, Ben Johnson shared “a far-from-exhaustive list of the mistruths Walz has communicated.” His list is as follows: 

1. Stolen Valor #1: Serving in War

Walz served 24 years in the National Guard, an honorable action worthy of praise in its own right. During his National Guard service, Walz was stationed in Norway and, when a different unit deployed to Afghanistan, he took its place in Vicenza, Italy from Aug. 3, 2003, until 2004, according to NPR. Walz retired in 2005, as the unit he led was about to be deployed to Iraq.


Yet over the years, he has implied he faced combat during the War on Terror, as well as allowing others to repeat the claim without correction. In a video clip the Harris-Walz campaign shared of a 2018 event calling for gun control legislation against law-abiding citizens in violation of the Second Amendment, Walz said, “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.” The campaign muddied the waters, telling CNN, “In his 24 years of service, the [g]overnor carried, fired and trained others to use weapons of war innumerable times. Governor Walz would never insult or undermine any American’s service to this country.” A Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson, Lauren Hitt, later claimed Walz “misspoke.”

Yet the errors had piled up for years….


2. Stolen Valor #2: ‘Retired Command Sergeant Major’

Walz has repeatedly referred to his rank as “retired command sergeant major,” including in the official Walz-Harris campaign biography. Yet Walz actually retired as a master sergeant, because he failed to complete required coursework at the U.S. Sergeants Major Academy when he quit his unit in 2005 to run for U.S. Congress….


3. Walz Claimed His Wife Conceived Through IVF

The Democratic Party has repeatedly claimed the 2022 Dobbs decision, overturning Roe v. Wade, has unleashed a torrent of pro-life laws that threaten everything from miscarriage care to in vitro fertilization. Walz claimed to have a very “personal” connection to IVF, claiming he and his wife, Gwen, owe their two children to IVF. In fact, Walz invoked the Lord’s divine providence for the controversial procedure. “Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children,” Walz told MSNBC in July. Walz weaponized the issue against Vance in August, alleging, “If it was up to him, I wouldn’t have a family because of IVF.” (Vane has spoken in favor of IVF, a controversial procedure in which 9 out of 10 children are never born and unknown millions have been “discarded,” aborted, or abandoned.)


But in an Aug. 19 interview with Walz’s wife, Gwen, Glamour magazine reported that the couple did not conceive via IVF at all. The Walzes participated in a different fertility procedure, known as intrauterine insemination, in which sperm are injected into the uterus. Gwen Walz thanked a nurse in her neighborhood who assisted her “with the shots I needed as part of the IUI process.” …


4. Walz Misled About His 1995 DUI

As a candidate for Congress in 2006, Walz apparently misled voters about his 1995 arrest for driving under the influence. Walz had claimed the entire arrest was a misunderstanding, based on hearing loss from his valorous military service. But CNN reported:


According to court and police records connected to the incident, Walz admitted in court that he had been drinking when he was pulled over for driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone in Nebraska. Walz was then transported by a state trooper to a local hospital for a blood test, showing he had a blood alcohol level of .128, well above the state’s legal limit of 0.1 at the time.


Walz accepted a plea deal, admitting that he put himself and others in danger by getting behind the wheel….


5. ‘Outstanding Young Nebraskan’?

When Walz ran for the House of Representatives in 2006, his official campaign biography stated that in 1993, he “was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his service in the education, military, and small business communities.” Yet he never won any such award.


“We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce,” wrote Barry Kennedy, then-president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, in November 2006….


6. Phony Headlines

Despite the Democratic Party’s continual warning about misinformation – something Walz has erroneously said is not protected by the First Amendment – the Harris-Walz campaign has doctored headlines in its online advertisements.


The campaign reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on campaign ads that presented actual news stories from The Associated Press, USA Today, NPR, PBS, CNN, CBS News, and other outlets – but with glowing headlines written by campaign staffers. The intention is to convince readers the unbiased reporters heaped praise on the candidates….


7. ‘White Guy Tacos’

Walz appears to have even misled the American people about his palate. In an online video, he apparently stated that “black pepper” is the spiciest food he eats, although Walz has a taste for spicy food….
