Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has come under fire for misleadingly stating that he handled weapons “in war,” a remark that Senator JD Vance recently criticized as an instance of “stolen valor.”
This statement from Kamala Harris’ running mate surfaced in a 2018 video shared by Walz’s gubernatorial campaign. In the clip, Walz spoke to a crowded room about gun violence, declaring, “We can research the impacts of gun violence. We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war.”
However, Walz’s critics quickly pointed out that, despite serving in the National Guard until his retirement in 2005, he never participated in combat.
