NextImg:Drew Holden Compiles Examples of Media Spin Over the 'Swift-Boating' of Tim Walz

Did Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz falsely claim to have seen combat in either Iraq or Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom? As Twitchy reported earlier, take it from Walz's battalion commander if not from letters from Guardsman who served with him. He quit to pursue his political career when he knew his unit was being deployed to Iraq. But he still talks about carrying weapons of war on the battlefront (Italy?).

Drew Holden has put together a thread on Walz, his claims, and the media's spin on them. Remember, in a Friday night news dump, the Kamala Harris campaign put out a statement admitting that Walz "misspoke" in a 2018 video that included the vice presidential candidate talking about his handling of weapons "in war." That video wasn't the only time he misspoke.

The new "swift-boat"? As much as we despite John Kerry, he actually went overseas.

Ah yes, Walz's selection has brought "joy" to the Harris campaign. So we've been told, over and over.

That's all true, but now the Republicans are pouncing on it. Maybe Walz could do a sit-down interview or a press conference and give us the real story instead of letting himself be "swift-boated."
