JD Vance: Closest Tim Walz Has Ever Come to Combat Is When He Let Minneapolis Burn

Kristina Wong 19 Aug 2024

Republican vice presidential nominee and Marine veteran Sen. JD Vance (OH) mocked Democrat vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (MN) for his numerous lies about his military service, saying the closest the governor has ever come to combat is when he let his state burn during the George Floyd riots.

“It occurred to me: The closest Tim Walz has ever come to combat — even though he says he carried a weapon in war — the closest Tim Walz has ever come to combat is when he let rioters burn Minneapolis to the ground,” Vance said during a campaign stop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Monday.

Walz, in 2018, falsely claimed he carried weapons “in war” in a video clip that the Harris-Walz campaign circulated. The campaign later admitted he “misspoke” since he has never been in combat or deployed to a war zone.

Walz has also suggested he deployed to Afghanistan by calling himself an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran and not correcting people when they erroneously said he deployed there.

Walz further falsely claimed he was a retired command sergeant major, or E-9, when he really retired as a master sergeant, an E-8. He has not addressed allegations from veterans who served with him who say he retired from the Minnesota National Guard to avoid a deployment to Iraq.

Vance, an Iraq War veteran, hammered Walz on his lies.

“Before the end of the campaign, Tim Walz is going to be talking about how he was carrying an M-16 through the jungles of Vietnam. This guy, everything that comes out of his mouth about his military service is at least 25 percent a lie,” he said.

As I listen to Vance, I like him more and more. There is such a stark contrast between Trump/Vance and Harris/Walz that it is frightening.  It's still hard for me to comprehend how people can support such evilness and deceit.

When half the people in this country (over half if you count those here illegally) are dependent on their government check it becomes much easier to understand. @libertybele

That's gonna leave a mark.

Yes you are right and a part of all this mess that I had neglected to remember and consider.

[LMAO]

Waltz’s handling of the riots in Minneapolis is fair game for attacking

Here’s the problem

Never mind that the guy on top of the GOP ticket had "Bone Spurs" all of a sudden to avoid fighting in Vietnam.

Dude you are straightjacket obsessed to the point of randomly throwing old monkey poo. When are you going to start charging Trump rent to live in your head?

Indeed, but while both he and Walz dogged combat in different ways, Trump does not claim to have carried a weapon in war, when he, as he will freely admit never went to war, nor does he get introduced as holding a military rank in retirement from which he was demoted before his retirement.

Another thing about Walz's remark besides the flirtation with stolen valor:  the weapons he was issued to carry in combat (to which he never went) are already not generally available to the public.  Generally the only civilians who go through the paperwork to legally own full-automatic weapons are gun-range owners who keep them under strict control and rent them for brief periods of target shooting, nor can I recall the last time I've heard of a crime being committed with a select-fire assault rifle capable of three round burst and full-auto mode.

God forbid I question your Orange Tinted Mussolini wannabe Messiah!

Those who falsely bloat and lie about their service record for gain, are about as despicable as they come.  cough cough....  John Kerry, climate hauncho

[catfish1957]

Well JD....   25% a lie in my book is by default a 100% lie.

I hope he drives the knife in deeply during the debate on this issue alone.

God forbid you'd act like something other than a catty hysterical sorority girl spouting recycled old cliches irrelevant to the topic at hand just to get a jab at the rent free occupier of your mind.

Shall we pull the string again and see what hack retread retort comes out this time?

If Walz's guard unit was issued a M4 rifle, they have never been legally available to civilians in the U.S.

The M4 debuted in 1994, and the "Firearm Owner's Protection Act" of 1986 prohibits civilian ownership of fully automatic and select fire arms made after 1986.

So, more bullsh*t.

Good catch....   I'd get this over to the camaign to throw some more gas on the Walz dumpser fire.

I want him to come across  as a buck private orderly when its over.
