Keeping this in mind, Vice President and 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. On Sunday, journalist Megyn Kelly shared on the social media platform X that she would be featuring a &#8220;must-see&#8221; interview with veterans from the Minnesota National Guard who served alongside Walz. One veteran remarked about the governor, stating, &#8220;He has absolutely no integrity.&#8221; This comment and others were highlighted in a 68-second preview of the interview, which was fully released on Monday. The preview painted a troubling picture of Walz&#8217;s perceived dishonesty and cowardice.<\/p>\n<p>Since Harris announced Walz as her running mate last month, controversy has surrounded his extensive service in the Minnesota National Guard due to two main issues: first, he left his unit by retiring to run for Congress before they deployed to Iraq in 2005; second, he falsely claimed to hold the rank of Command Sergeant Major\u2014a title he never achieved. The veterans interviewed by Kelly focused on these two points during their discussion.<\/p>\n<p>In the brief preview clip, three out of four veterans spoke up; one described Walz as lacking integrity while another labeled him a narcissist: \u201cIt is morally indefensible. He didn\u2019t care; it was all about him.\u201d A third veteran referred to him as a \u201cmilitary impersonator,\u201d questioning how someone could act that way morally. They took turns criticizing what they viewed as his stolen valor and cowardice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are countless parents who expect their leaders to guide troops into combat,\u201d said one veteran regarding Walz\u2019s abandonment of his unit. Another added that he is \u201ca habitual liar\u201d concerning claims about ranks he did not earn. The third veteran reiterated concerns over how Walz abandoned his troops: \u201cHe essentially said \u2018I have better things to do,\u2019 leaving them behind.\u201d This behavior should disqualify him from holding national office according to this veteran&#8217;s perspective: \u201cIf you sold out your Guard unit and abandoned them, what will you do at a national level?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The second veteran concurred with this assessment: \u201cI call him a coward because he is.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Since these controversies emerged, Harris\u2019s campaign has removed mentions of Walz\u2019s unearned rank from public view\u2014though this seems more like an attempt at managing optics rather than addressing substantive issues since dishonesty appears common among party members like him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2335798,"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\/09\/Megyn-Kelly-and-Veterans.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[6983,33131,4133,36113,4873],"class_list":["post-2335797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-integrity","tag-megyn-kelly","tag-news","tag-tim-walz","tag-veterans"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Megyn-Kelly-and-Veterans.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335797","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=2335797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2335798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2335797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2335797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2335797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
