Where Is the Defense of Tim Walz From Those Who Served With Him?
Derek Hunter
You can tell when someone really nails a politician by the way no one tries to defend them. Most consultants will tell you that you shouldn’t let an attack go unanswered, but those are generally false attacks. When someone really rhetorically punches a candidate in the nose, the guilty slink away and hope the issue fades. If that candidate is attacked unfairly, the airwaves are flooded with friends and colleagues, provided by the campaign, to defend them. That no such defense of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been forthcoming on his stolen valor allegations.
Think about it, have you seen any of the soldiers who served with or under Walz, who I affectionately call “Fraudie Murphy,” during his time in the National Guard, especially the end of his career when he abandoned his troops and took a demotion to avoid deploying to Iraq, come to his defense? I have not.
I have seen plenty of people who served with him supporting the allegations – he must not have been a very popular leader – but nothing in the other direction. That’s not a coincidence.
