Presumptive Democratic VP candidate Gov. Tim Walz released an ad where he slams Republican VP candidate Sen. J.D. Vance for attacking his military service.
Except, you know, Vance never attacked Walz’s 24-year service in the National Guard.
Vance criticized Walz for lying about serving in combat.
Walz doesn’t address that criticism in the ad, which is the *actual* issue normal people have with Walz.
Walz’s ad:
I am damn proud of my service to this country. These guys have, are even attacking me for my record of service. And I just want to say, I’m proud to have served my country, and I always will be. With my dad’s encouragement, a guy who served in the Army during the Korean War, I signed up for the Army National Guard after my 17th birthday. I served for the next 24 years for the same reason all my brothers and sisters in uniform do: We love this country.Then in 2005, I felt the call of duty again, this time being of service to my country in the halls of Congress. My students inspired me to run for that office, and I was proud to make it to Washington. I was a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee and a champion of our men and women in uniform.I’m going to say it again as clearly as I can: I am damn proud of my service to this country. And I firmy believe you should never denigrate another person’s record. To anyone brave enough to put on that uniform, for our great country, including my opponent, I just have a few simple words: Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Vance responded:
HOWEVER!
My friend Brittany Cover had the best response.
She nailed it on the head.
