60 Minutes’ Bill Whitaker did a decent job with his interviews with VP Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.
Whitaker basically told Walz that calling himself a “knucklehead” for all the lies he said isn’t a good explanation:
Whatever it might be, Walz has been criticized for embellishing or telling outright falsehoods about his military record, and about his travels to Asia in the 1980s.Bill Whitaker: In your debate with JD Vance, you said, “I’m a knucklehead (laugh) at times.” And I think you were referring to the time that you said that you were in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square unrest when you were not.Gov. Tim Walz: Yeah.Bill Whitaker: Is that kind of misrepresentation, isn’t that more than just being a knucklehead?Gov. Tim Walz: I think folks know who I am. And I think they know the difference between someone expressing emotion, telling a story, getting a date wrong by–you–rather than a pathological liar like Donald Trump.Bill Whitaker: But I think it comes down to the question of whether—whether you can be trusted to tell the truth.Gov. Tim Walz: Yeah. Well– I can– I think I can. I will own up to being a knucklehead at times, but the folks closest to me know that I keep my word.
I wish Whitacker would have pressed more and listed all the times he’s lied.
Granted, the latter would have taken a long time!
