Even Nancy Pelosi understands that, which is no doubt why she used that phrasing. But in Walz&rsquo;s case, it&rsquo;s simply not true.<\/p>\n<p>Even CNN, customarily pliant about the nature of reality (at least when it comes to Democrats), has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/freezes-cnn-fact-checks-vp-pick-tim-walz-military-experience-making-kamala-harris-look-even-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forced to acknowledge<\/a> Walz&rsquo;s exaggeration of his record.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There is a difference between being in a combat area, being involved at a time of war, and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you,&rdquo; CNN correspondent Tom Foreman said on the network on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There is no evidence at any time Gov. Walz was in a position of being shot at, and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Walz wasn&rsquo;t responsible for what Pelosi said &mdash; just as he wasn&rsquo;t responsible for the C-SPAN chiron that identified him as an &ldquo;Afghanistan War Veteran&rdquo; when he was never on the ground there.<\/p>\n<p>But any honest man should have felt compelled to clear up the point with Pelosi in real time, with the cameras running. Walz clearly did not.<\/p>\n<p>But Walz didn&rsquo;t just allow Pelosi&rsquo;s description to go uncorrected in that video, posted by Greg Price, communications director for the conservative State Freedom Caucus Network.<\/p>\n<p>Walz went a step further and referred to then-Rep. Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania as &ldquo;my brother in arms.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s technically true. Walz&rsquo;s service in the National Guard made him a veteran who&rsquo;d borne arms. But Murphy, according to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/About\/Biographies\/Biography\/Article\/643303\/patrick-j-murphy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Defense Department biography<\/a>, actually served in Iraq itself while serving with the 82nd Airborne Division and, as an attorney with the Judge Advocate General, had prosecuted Iraqi terrorism suspects.<\/p>\n<p>The closest Walz got to an actual shooting war, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/08\/07\/politics\/tim-walz-military-record-vance-attack\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a>, was a stint in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Walz was clearly borrowing a bit of that luster when he claimed Murphy as a &ldquo;brother in arms.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This is what Democrats are hoping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kamala-harris-campaign-scrambles-fix-vp-picks-biography-lies-military-record-late\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">will fool Americans<\/a>.

A video released on Friday features Walz, who is currently Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s running mate for the upcoming November election, claiming in 2007 that he served &#8220;on the battlefield&#8221; for his country\u2014a claim he never fulfilled. The footage shows then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introducing him at a press conference by expressing appreciation for his service both in education and on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>While it is true that Walz has over two decades of service with the Minnesota National Guard\u2014an aspect of his record that should not be undermined\u2014his assertion of &#8220;service on the battlefield&#8221; carries a specific connotation that differs significantly from providing disaster relief. Even Pelosi likely chose her words carefully, understanding this distinction. However, in Walz\u2019s case, this claim does not hold up.<\/p>\n<p>Even CNN has acknowledged Walz&#8217;s exaggeration regarding his military experience. Correspondent Tom Foreman pointed out that there is a significant difference between being in a combat zone during wartime and actually facing enemy fire; there is no evidence to suggest that Gov. Walz was ever in such dangerous situations, despite some of his language implying otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Walz may not be accountable for Pelosi\u2019s remarks or C-SPAN labeling him as an \u201cAfghanistan veteran,\u201d but any honest individual would have felt compelled to clarify these inaccuracies during the live event\u2014something Walz failed to do. Not only did he let Pelosi\u2019s description go unchallenged, but he also referred to then-Representative Patrick Murphy as \u201cmy brother in arms.\u201d While technically accurate due to their shared status as veterans, Murphy had actual combat experience serving with the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq while prosecuting terrorism suspects; meanwhile, according to CNN reports, Walz&#8217;s closest encounter with active conflict was during a deployment in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>This misrepresentation seems part of an effort by Democrats hoping to present Walz as more moderate than he truly is\u2014a governor who allowed significant unrest during the George Floyd riots and shows sympathy towards Hamas supporters. Many observers have noted this discrepancy and criticized it harshly online.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative commentator J.D. Sharpe described it succinctly: \u201cBlatant stolen valor.\u201d Although the video does not show Walz making direct claims himself, he clearly recognized Pelosi\u2019s error yet chose not to correct her\u2014instead reinforcing her misleading portrayal by referring to another representative using terminology associated with combat camaraderie.<\/p>\n<p>Now vying for one of the highest offices in America just steps away from leading the nation itself, Tim Walz finds himself facing increasing scrutiny over these past misrepresentations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2322198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Pelosi-Walz-stolen-valor.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[37732,5254,37733,37357,27318],"class_list":["post-2322197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-battlefield-warrior","tag-footage","tag-national-tv","tag-stolen-valor","tag-walz"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Pelosi-Walz-stolen-valor.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2322197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2322197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2322197\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2322198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2322197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2322197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2322197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
