Fact Check: Tim Walz Claims Reagan Was ‘Last Union Member’ to Be on a ‘National Ticket’

Elizabeth Weibel 21 Sep 2024

CLAIM: Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claimed that former President Ronald Reagan was the “last union member” to appear on a “national ticket.”

VERDICT: False. Former President Donald Trump was a member of the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union.

During a campaign rally in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Walz spoke about how “the thing that built the middle class” had been the ability to allow people to “collectively bargain and form a union” with their neighbors. Walz added that he had been a union member of Minnesota’s teacher’s union.

“I’ve been told….I’ve been told that I am…..For decades, a card-carrying union member of our state’s teacher union, which I was,” Walz told the crowd. “The last union member on a national ticket — Ronald Reagan. I promise you, I will not lose my way. I will not lose my way.”

Walz has previously made a similar claim. In August, Walz claimed he was “the first union member” to appear on a presidential ticket since Reagan.

“I happen to be the first union member on a presidential ticket since Ronald Reagan,” Walz said at the time. “But, rest assured, I won’t lose my way.”

Teacher's union...NEA type stuff.

Aren't those the people who have made a flaming train wreck out of education in this country?

To me, that isn't a plus at all.

Maybe that explains his wife's goofy gesticulations turning pages, without realizing Kamala is all over the page they claim to be turning (not to mention how she talked to everyone like they were 2nd graders).

Dear God, merciful Saviour, please deliver America from its own internal enemies' folly before our foreign enemies destroy us.
