He stated that\u200c rally attendees made a\u200c wise choice by not watching Harris&#8217;s speech and accused Walz\u2062 of being dishonest about his record.

Now, he lies about everything, of course.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Ohio senator then rejected Walz&rsquo;s repeated claims that the GOP is &ldquo;weird&rdquo; before delving into Walz&rsquo;s background as a veteran and his story about how his children were conceived.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He calls me weird, but then he lies about how his kids were conceived. Who does that?&rdquo; Vance asked. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s just the weirdest thing I&rsquo;ve ever seen. He said he served in combat, but the closest Tim Walz ever came to combat is when he let rioters burn Minneapolis to the ground and did absolutely nothing to stop it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Walz has faced attacks on his&nbsp;inaccurate claims that he retired as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-ignored-warnings-about-withdrawing-troops-from-afghanistan-military-leaders-say\/\" title=\"Military leaders say the Biden administration disregarded Afghanistan troop withdrawal warnings.\">command sergeant major<\/a>. The governor did not complete the necessary requirements to retire as a command sergeant major and was reverted to master sergeant upon his departure. Walz also faced criticism for claiming that his children were conceived through in vitro fertilization when his children were conceived through intrauterine insemination, also known as IUI, which does not involve using embryos.<\/p>\n<p>Vance has seized upon the governor&rsquo;s lax comments on his military background, accusing him of &ldquo;stolen valor&rdquo; after Walz spent 24 years in the Army National Guard before his 2005 retirement ahead of his unit deploying to Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And I know we have got a lot of veterans out there.

John Estrada said.<\/p>\n<p>Retired National Guard Maj. Gen. Randy Manner, who oversaw overseas deployments for the National Guard, called the attack against Walz just &ldquo;political crap&rdquo; with &ldquo;no facts behind it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Vance continued attacking the Democratic ticket&rsquo;s speeches at the convention and chastised Harris over her attacks against former President Donald Trump. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She said there are going to be extremely serious consequences for voting for Donald Trump,&rdquo; Vance said. &ldquo;Now, Kamala, I&rsquo;ve got two responses to that.

Is she the vice president or the vice principal warning about very serious consequences, whining at people for telling a joke instead of trying to persuade them that she deserves to be their president? I&rsquo;m sick of people like that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But second, it&rsquo;s the substance.
