Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been a trainwreck VP pick for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, as evidenced by troubling details emerging about his military service claims, which have sparked “stolen valor” allegations from other veterans.
“Well, I wonder, Tim Walz, when were you ever in war?” GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance, a Marine who served as a military journalist in Iraq, asked during a press gaggle Tuesday, as Legal Insurrection reported. “When was this — what was this weapon that you carried into war, given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq and he has not spent a day in a combat zone?”
Walz has since taken heat over a statement he made during his debut as Harris’ pick during their Philadelphia rally, where he declared that Democrats, unlike Republicans, abided by the “golden rule” of “mind your own damn business.”
“Some of us are old enough to remember when it was Republicans who were talking about freedom,” Walz stated as Harris looked on. “It turns out now what they meant was the government should be free to invade your doctor’s office.”
Moments later, Walz proclaimed “In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves, there’s a golden rule, mind your own damn business.”
Watch:
The problem here is that Walz’s record on that so-called “golden rule” is quite clear, and like most Democrats, he’s anything but a “mind your own damn business” type:
Conservative activists have pushed back on Walz’s self-characterization, pointing to his track record on issues such as COVID-19 lockdowns, parental rights, and more.”He should take some of his own advice, because during COVID not only did he lock down schools and mask children, he encouraged neighbors to snitch on each other if they were taking their kid to the playground,” said Tiffany Justice, Moms for Liberty co-founder.
Conservatives on the Twitter/X machine also weighed in:
Remember, too, that “One person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness,” according to Walz:
When all is said and done, Walz may go down in history as one of the worst vice presidential picks ever made – right alongside Kamala Harris.
