J.D. Vance called out Tim Walz for this despicable offense against the military

Republicans couldn’t believe Kamala Harris would pick far-left Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.

His radical record provided a gold mine of opposition research.

And J.D. Vance called out Tim Walz for this despicable offense against the military.

J.D. Vance slams Walz for stolen valor

Stolen valor and abandoning your forces are two of the worst offenses a member of the military can commit.

U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) brought the receipts calling out Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for a clip posted to the Kamala HQ X account where he claims no American should be able to own a firearm that “I carried in war.”

“I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt. I’ve been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks. 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,” Walz stated.

But Walz never served in a war.

Walz quit the National Guard shortly after his unit received orders to deploy to Iraq in 2005.

He signed up in 2001 for six more years and was supposed to serve until 2007.

But on May 16, 2005, Walz quit.

At an event in Michigan, Vance called out Walz for lying about going to war and slamming him for being guilty of stolen valor.

“I wonder, Tim Walz, when were you ever in war? What was this weapon you carried into war consider you abandoned your unit? What bothers me about Tim Walz is the stolen valor garbage,” Vance began.

Vance sharpens the attack

Vance compared how he enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school and deployed to Iraq to Walz quitting the army and leaving his troops in the lurch just before they deployed to battle.

“You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz? When the US Marine Corps asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, he dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him. I think that’s shameful,” Vance declared.

J.D. Vance fires back at Tim Walz after he mocked him for attending Yale:

“What bothers me about Tim Walz is the stolen valor garbage. Do not pretend to be something you’re not. And if he wants to criticize me for getting an Ivy League education, I’m proud […] I was able to… pic.twitter.com/0qt3waifq2

Tim Walz was already on the back foot for his record of coddling illegal immigrants and cheering on the rioters who burnt Minneapolis down in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.

But the attack leveled by Vance is different because it’s more personal and strikes at Walz’s honor.
