Four former military leaders have strongly criticized Democrat presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), accusing him of exaggerating his military achievements and avoiding deployment to Iraq. Their comments were made during an interview on The Megyn Kelly Show that aired Monday. Watch it above.
Retired Minnesota National Guard Command Sergeant Major Paul Herr labeled Walz as a “habitual liar.”
“He’s a habitual liar. He lies about everything! He lies about stuff that doesn’t make sense,” Herr said.
Walz has claimed for nearly 20 years to be a “retired command sergeant major,” when, in reality, he retired as a “master sergeant,” a rank lower.
Herr, along with three other retired senior leaders from the Minnesota National Guard, pointed out that Walz has a history of falsehoods beyond just his military rank.
“He says all these things like, ‘I was a football coach.’ You were assistant coach and you were fired because of a DUI that you lied about being deaf to try and get out of whatever you were trying to get out of there,” he said.
Another misleading claim by Walz involves his statement about carrying weapons “in war,” even though he never served in a combat zone. In response, the Harris-Walz campaign stated that Walz had “misspoke,” and Walz himself later attributed the error to his use of grammar and the intensity of his speech during a recent interview with CNN.
Additionally, Walz misrepresented the method used to conceive his two children, claiming they were conceived through in vitro fertilization when, in fact, intrauterine insemination was used.
“I mean, it just it’s just one habitual lie after another. They keep piling up, and eventually, you can’t present enough blankets to cover it up,” Herr said.
