Kamala is kicking herself for picking Tim. He’s brought nothing to the table.
And now Tim Walz went on The View and utterly humiliated himself.
Tim Walz, the Democrats’ vice-presidential candidate, is at it again — trying to talk his way out of the misleading statements he’s made about his past. In a Monday appearance on The View, Walz claimed he speaks “honestly,” despite the mountain of evidence showing otherwise.
Even co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin had to preface her question with a baffling defense:
“I want to ask this way about a number of misstatements you’ve made about your previous military record and travels you have been on. I want to be unequivocal, nobody lies as much as Donald Trump. Nothing that you’ve misled on is anything on the same level.” Talk about a low bar.
Griffin then pushed Walz, asking, “In an era where there’s so much mistruth in our politics, so many lies, can’t there be no gray area, and how would you convey to voters they may be concerned that there’s a trust issue?”
Walz, ever the smooth talker, tried to wiggle his way out: “I do think you have to be careful about this…I think people do separate that between a pathological liar like Donald Trump…I speak from my heart. I speak honestly. I speak in the moment.”
Sure, Tim. Walz has been caught red-handed, particularly with his claims of being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests in the spring of 1989. Turns out, he wasn’t in China until August of that year — months after the protests ended.
And don’t forget his 2018 boast that he carried weapons of war “in war.”
The Harris campaign later had to backpedal on that too, chalking it up to yet another “misspoke” moment.
During a debate with Senator JD Vance, Walz whined to his team about being at a disadvantage because of his supposed tendency to “just answer the question that you’re asked as quickly as you can.” If only he stuck to facts as fast as he sticks to excuses.
When pressed on his China lie during the debate, Walz rambled on about being a teacher and coach, and even admitted, “I’m a knucklehead at times.”
But that wasn’t enough to satisfy the moderators, who had to ask him a second time. His response? More deflection and vague language, saying he “misspoke.”
As Walz continued to spin, he said, “I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests…I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance.”
What exactly he “learned” from his shaky timeline remains a mystery.
In another 2018 interview, Walz claimed again to have handled “weapons of war” while “in war.” Yet, the Harris campaign once again scrambled to clarify his words, admitting he “misspoke.”
In an almost comical attempt to justify this, the Harris campaign stated, “He did handle weapons of war and believes strongly that only military members trained to carry those deadly weapons should have access to them, unlike Donald Trump and JD Vance who prioritize the gun lobby over our children.”
Walz may claim to be “honest,” but his track record of misleading statements and “misspeaking” raises serious questions.
One thing’s for sure — he’s mastered the art of political doublespeak.
