While ABC News is busy covering for Tim Walz over his stolen valor claims, CNN actually fact-checked Walz and pointed out that he lied about being in a war zone.

Here’s the video:

 
CNN correspondent Tom Foreman said this:

Walz did make a comment speaking to a group – he’s done it a couple of times – where he has used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation. As you know with your contact with the military – I know coming from a military family that there is a difference between being in a combat area, being involved at a time of war and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you. There is no evidence at any time that Governor Walz was in a position of being shot at and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was. So that is absolutely false, when he said that about gun rights out there.

Kudos to CNN and Tom Foreman for actually calling out Walz on this. Perhaps ABC News would like to amend their segment from yesterday.

Rep. Brian Mast responded to this CNN segment by saying: “Tim Walz LIED about his rank. He LIED about serving in Afghanistan. And now, according to CNN, Walz LIED about carrying weapons of war in a war zone.”
