While Kamala Harris’ ability to avoid scrutiny, cover up her extremism, and manufacturer enthusiasm has given her the momentum, many believe she may have made one big misstep.
It has to do with properly vetting her Vice Presidential running mate.
And now, one damning video is threatening to sink Tim Walz’s political career for good.
Walz “misspoke” for decades
Since Vice President Kamala Harris made the decision to name Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, one scandal has plagued her campaign’s efforts to pretend as though they constitute the greatest Presidential ticket in American history – her running mate’s decades-long track record of committing stolen valor.
Immediately after Walz’s candidacy was announced, videos and other evidence immediately surfaced that showed he had falsely claimed to have served in a combat zone during the Iraq war and achieved a rank he never achieved.
Democrats and their media allies moved quickly to squash the scandal by claiming that he merely “misspoke” in order to make it seem as though he only made a mistake on a limited number of occasions.
But now, the evidence continues to stack up, proving that he not only lied for decades about his military service, but did so specifically to advance his political career.
Numerous videos have recently surfaced showing that Walz has repeated his lie about the rank he achieved before retiring from the National Guard for decades.

Even the state of Minnesota has been forced to concede that Walz lied about his military service for years as Governor.
“The Minnesota National Guard confirmed Wednesday that Gov. Tim Walz… was demoted and did not retire as a command sergeant major like he has claimed for years, including on his official gubernatorial biography,” Newsweek reported.
“While Walz temporarily held the title of command sergeant major, he ‘retired as a master sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy,’ Army Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, the Minnesota National Guard’s State Public Affairs Officer, told Just the News,” the report added.
Just another lying politician
But to make matters worse, Walz repeatedly used the lie about his military service to advance his political career, even going so far as to lie about his rank in political campaign ads.
In one such ad, the Democrats’ presumptive Vice Presidential nominee had the audacity to make it seem as though he served in the war in Afghanistan.
It somehow gets worse for Tim AWOLz
His own political ad lies about his retiring rank – he left as a Master Sergeant not a Command Sergeant Major
But the ad also says he was on a “tour supporting the war in Afghanistan”
Now what does that sound like?

Reports have also indicated that while Walz claimed in his campaign ads he served in Afghanistan, he also told voters in his first run for Congress in 2006 that he had been previously deployed to Iraq.
In reality, the only time Walz spent abroad was a brief stint to Italy – nowhere near a warzone.
Of course, neither Walz nor Kamala have had to answer any questions about these lies, as they continue to hide from media interviews and press conferences weeks into their campaign.
But with Tim Walz’s stolen valor scandal continuing to spiral out of control, attempting to simply hide from answering any questions might prove to be the wrong tactic come Election Day.
