From Trump campaign:

Walz lied about his own National Guard service: 

  • Walz repeatedly claimed he was a “command sergeant major” to advance his political career, even though he did not fulfill the duties required to maintain that rank before his retirement — and when it was brought to the attention of his congressional office, Walz ignored it.

    • The Harris-Walz campaign’s own website described him as a “retired Command Sergeant Major in the Army National Guard” before scrubbing the language after the lie was exposed.
  • Walz abandoned his own battalion just as they were about to deploy to Iraq so he could run for Congress — leaving them “hanging” in a move his fellow service members called “cowardly.”
  • Walz referenced “weapons of war that I carried in war,” despite the fact that he never deployed to a combat zone.
  • Walz has repeatedly described himself as a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, a title that historically applies to someone who served on the ground in Afghanistan — which Walz never did.
  • The Harris-Walz campaign falsely claimed he “chaired Veterans Affairs” in Congress, which never happened.

If you can’t trust Timothy Walz on the most basic details of his biography, how can you trust him with the safety and security of the United States?

 

You can’t.
