'Stolen Valor': Walz Under Fire For Bailing On Iraq Tour, Then Lying About Combat Deployment
"Kamala Harris' VP pick Tim Walz has come under fire over his extreme left-wing policies, from joking about helping illegal immigrants into the country by investing in a 'ladder company,' to signing a law that gives them driver's licenses, to delaying the deployment of the National Guard during the Georger Floyd riots. And while there's much more to discuss, Walz has come under the most intense scrutiny for embellishing his military record, when in reality he bailed on his National Guard battalion - instead running off to Congress after learning that he would be deployed to Iraq.
"On May 16th, 2005, [Walz] quit, betraying his country, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war," wrote retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr in a 2018 letter posted to Facebook. And instead of filing the proper paperwork to ensure a smooth transition out of the military, Walz "instead ... slithered out the door," the letter reads, adding that Walz "embellished and selectively omitted facts of his military career for years."
Walz served in the Minnesota Army National Guard and retired at the rank of master sergeant, or an E-8. However, on his official website bio, he lists a higher rank that he served at for a short period that ultimately was rescinded, as he did not complete all the requirements to serve at that rank. However, his bio implies that he retired at the rank of command sergeant major, or an E-9.
Trump VP pick JD Vance ripped Walz in a press conference, saying "What bothers me about Tim Walz is the stolen valor garbage. Do not pretend to be something you’re not. And if he wants to criticize me for getting an Ivy League education, I'm proud [...] I was able to make something of myself and I would be ashamed if I was him and I lied about my military service like he did." (X via @townhallcom). What's more, Walz lied - telling a crowd that he was in fact deployed.
"I carried weapons of war in war," he said."

In 2021 9/11 Speech, Tim Walz References 'Being on the Tarmac at Bagram' During a Ramp Ceremony
"Speaking to a crowd of veterans on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz talked about his time in the National Guard and missing a year of his daughter's life, then immediately followed that reference with a story about standing on the tarmac at Bagram Air Base and watching a ramp ceremony, and the emotional effect that had on him. If listeners knew nothing else about Walz, they'd believe that he missed a year of his daughter's life because he deployed for combat and saw some hard things. But, as we all know now, that's not the case. He deployed to Italy in a support capacity and shamefully retired early, before his contract was up, when he knew that his unit was going to be sent to Iraq."

Ex-Minnesota bar owner whose family-run business was torched in 2020 riots rips ‘criminal’ Gov. Tim Walz: ‘Complete loss of leadership’
" A bar owner whose nearly century-old watering hole was torched by rioters during the 2020 George Floyd riots slammed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as a “criminal” who let the city descend into a lawless hellscape by refusing to immediately call in the National Guard.
Bill Hupp, who owned the Hexagon Bar in the Seward neighborhood, roared that the fiery destruction of his family-run business rested on Walz’s shoulders.
“It’s just complete neglect of the people you are supposed to represent,” the 74-year-old father of six said of Walz’s actions at the time. “He could have called [the guardsmen] in [but] he didn’t,” Hupp added. “I didn’t have a drop of water put on my place. Not a drop of water for those three and a half days! Crazy. It’s [a] complete loss of leadership, totally.”

Creepy Tim Walz Uses Fake Internet Sex Meme to Mock JD Vance
"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) referred to a crude sex joke based on a fake meme to make fun of rival Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) during a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate.
“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said, to cheers. Then he added: “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.” “You see what I did there?” he said, clearly aware of the joke. The joke refers to a meme that claims Vance had sex with a couch, based on a fake citation from his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. The meme was widely shared and repeated among “progressives” looking for something bad to say about Vance.
The author of the original hoax told Business Insider that the ease with which people believed his fake citation “hasn’t bolstered his faith in the critical-thinking skills of the electorate.”

“A strong odor of alcoholic beverage was detected emitting from Mr. Walz[‘s] breath and person,” the report read." In fact, according to the court transcript, the presiding judge scolded an apparently penitent Walz for drinking and driving. Kerry Greeley, Walz’s campaign manager during his 2006 run for Congress, blamed the incident on Walz’s hearing loss."

He championed migrants as a moral and business cause in his 2022 election, claiming that his more cautious GOP rival “is 100 percent wrong morally, and he’s 100 percent wrong economically and culturally.” Walz blends the progressives’ moral claims and the Chamber of Commerce’s business arguments for the importation of more poor, low-productivity, welfare-dependent migrants."

After the announcement on Tuesday, Swift fans — known as “Swifties" — shared social media posts that Walz had made about their beloved icon.
Last year, the left-wing governor proclaimed June 23 and June 24, 2023, as “Taylor Swift Days” in Minnesota.
In November 2022, Walz lamented that he was unable to purchase tickets for Swift’s “Era” world tour.
So in May of this year, the governor enacted the so-called “Taylor Swift bill,” which bans resellers from selling more than one copy of a ticket and requires them to disclose all fees upfront."

"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who is facing accusations of stolen valor, allegedly falsely claimed in a previous press release that he was a veteran of Afghanistan.
In a 2006 press release issued by his campaign, Walz was described as being a “veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom.”
“Democrat Tim Walz will spend Sunday, Feb. 19th and Monday, Feb. 20th traveling across Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District as he formally announces his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives,” the press release said. “Walz, a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and longtime Mankato educator is unopposed for the DFL endorsement and is slated to challenge Rep. Gil Gutknecht in November of 2006.”
In a photo posted to X, Walz can be seen holding a sign that says, “Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry,” in protest of former President George W. Bush visiting Minnesota in 2004.In a viral video, Walz can be heard claiming he had served in war, although he had never seen combat during his time serving in the United States military:

"Trans Refuge"
"Minnesota lawmakers passed legislation to make their state a “trans refuge” for young people seeking sex change surgery.....Minnesota’s leftist Gov. Tim Walz (D), whom Vice President Kamala Harris (D) has reportedly chosen to be her running mate, helped make his state a place where children could undergo sex changes.The Associated Press (AP) reported on March 23, 2023, “Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order two weeks ago to protect the rights of people from Minnesota and other states to receive gender-affirming health care in the state.”
This legislation is meant to ensure that children undergoing gender transition procedures allowed under Minnesota law cannot be governed by child protection laws of other states. It’s a direct response to neighboring South Dakota, where Republican Gov. Kristi Noem signed a law banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone treatments and sex-change operations for transgender individuals under the age of 18. “The most insidious aspect of this bill is the language that adds children who are being denied ‘gender-affirming care’ (defined as everything from therapy to hormone blockers, to transition surgery) to what amounts to the definition for a child ‘in need of protection or services’ in Minnesota, allowing the courts to take ‘emergency custody’ of the child."

We believe that it is a moral imperative that Republicans and Democrats in Congress work together to enact bipartisan legislation that replaces fear and uncertainty with permanent protection for these individuals."

He opposes legal protection for infants who survive abortion attempts. These positions are clearly out of step with the views held by most Americans.

Walz Embroiled In Shocking Scandal Involving Murder Of Young Girl
"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is now under fire for his involvement in the release of Myon Burrell, a man twice convicted of the 2002 killing of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards. Burrell, who was freed in 2020 after Walz voted to commute his life sentence, is now facing serious felony charges for gun and drug-related offenses.
Burrell was just 16 years old when he was first convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the stray bullet that killed Tyesha Edwards as she sat at her dining room table doing homework in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Prosecutors at the time, led by then-Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar—now a U.S. Senator—charged Burrell as an adult with first-degree murder.
Burrell’s case was revisited by the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2003, which overturned the initial conviction. However, he was reconvicted in 2009 after new evidence surfaced. The case gained renewed attention in 2020, during Klobuchar’s presidential campaign, especially as movements like Black Lives Matter.......Governor Walz, who was part of the Minnesota Board of Pardons, decided in December 2020 to support the commutation of Burrell’s life sentence. He argued that modern understandings of juvenile sentencing made the original punishment too severe. “Justice isn’t served by locking up a child for life for a mistake made in their youth,” Walz remarked at the time, encouraging the Edwards family to see the decision in the context of evolving legal standards.
In September 2023, Burrell was pulled over for erratic driving, leading to the discovery of a handgun in his vehicle. Then, in May 2024, he was arrested again, this time after police found illegal drugs and a large sum of cash in his possession. During this arrest, Burrell allegedly resisted. These recent developments have cast a shadow over Walz’s decision to support Burrell’s release and raised concerns about his judgment, especially as he steps onto the national stage as Harris’ running mate."

Walz Dodges Question on Tiananmen Square Lie: ‘I’m a Knucklehead

Walz accused of pushing Chinese Communist Party official’s daughter to brink of suicide during storm-tossed love affair in 1980s: ‘Made me feel cheap’
"Tim Walz had a love affair with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official during his teaching stint in Foshan that was so stormy it drove her to the brink of suicide, The Post has learned.
Jenna Wang, 59, told The Post in a phone interview on Monday that she had fallen head over heels for the now-Minnesota governor when he was a young high school English instructor in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China.
That included sending Wang letters after returning to the US over the following summer and even asking for a passport-sized photo of her to be sent back to Denver, she said, implying that Walz was helping her to obtain a visa.“His lack of character, as a man, a responsible person who had worked in education or [the] military,” she added. “I thought he also loved me. I loved him.”
According to Wang, the two had a disagreement over whether she really loved Walz or merely wanted to obtain a visa, which she said came as a “shock” because she had been willing to give up her whole life in China to join Walz in his home state of Nebraska.
“I was giving it up to be with Tim, to get married and start a family,” Wang told the Daily Mail.
“Knowing now that he wasn’t going to marry me made me feel cheap and common, as if I was being treated like a prostitute.”
They never met again, but Walz returned to China in 1993 as the head of an annual summer student program connecting Nebraska and Minnesota high schoolers with Chinese institutions." NYP
