The excessive precision of every sentence they require from a Dem is laughable. It’s desperate in any case but especially coming from the party that supports someone as deceitful and inarticulate as Trump.

Right? And then in the same breath they'll turn around and unironically defend Trump because "he never technically said the words 'inject bleach!'"

Can this guy tell the truth about anything?

Here’s Walz a month ago on Chris Hayes’s show: “Today is IVF day. Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children.”

Your candidates are saying that Democrats are in support of post-birth abortions but you want to get into the weeds of the differences between IVF and IUI? Get out of here.

+1 “Show me the exact quote where he said that” is a common refrain from Trumpies around here.

Nah, nah, nah they really think they have something here! And now we get to listen to military withdrawal experts, antiparasitics as antiviral meds, and military rank experts also be experts in the intricacies of assisted fertility. Truly, we are blessed to have these geniuses among us and I am so grateful they have done their “research.”

Gwen Walz reveals she underwent a different treatment, not IVF, in new details about fertility struggles

“This one’s personal for me about IVF and reproductive care,” Walz told supporters at a rally in Glendale, Arizona, earlier this month. “When we wanted to have children, we went through years of fertility treatment.”

And in an MSNBC interview in July, he continued attacking Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance for his opposition to a bill that would have guaranteed access to IVF nationwide, while appearing to link the treatment to the birth of his two children.

“Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children,” he said.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/08/20/politics/gwen-walz-fertility-struggles

What has he not misrepresented or mispoke about?

-his rank
-his drunk driving arrest
-how his kids were conceived

Those are big things to misrepresent/lie about. What else has he not told the absolute truth about?

OMG this.

It almost feels like Trump wants to lose because the way his campaign is running is nonsensical.

Stick to the economy and immigration, use their own words against them.

This attempt at meaningless gotchas is not going to work

These are all minor hair-splitting differences. Trump makes huge lies, in some cases, over 100 per speech. His lies vary from minor to extremely major, like giving anecdotes where he has changed people, places, times, and events. He has lied about people, his own crimes (many). He has cheated and become a convicted felon. He has lied, defamed a person, and incurred one of the largest defamation penalties in history. He has lied and threatened national security. He has lied and tried to change an election.

And his supporters ignore his many lies and try to split hairs over Walz. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Walz misrepresentation of his rank was small. He served at a higher level and retired at a lower level. He mistakenly said he was a retired E9 instead of serving as an E9 and retiring as an E8. He later corrected that.

His wife had IUI instead of IVF. The difference between the two is minor to the public. In IUI, the sperms is injected into the uterus to artificially assist in insemination. In IVF, both sperm and eggs are both harvested and inseminated in the lab then the fertilized zygote is placed in the uterus. The distinction for the layman is trivial.

The drunk driving issue has surfaced in each of his campaigns (his first campaign for Congress, his campaign for Governor). Walz has admitted had a DUI. He was drunk, drove on a nearly empty highway at night and paid his price. The only scandal here was that his campaign staffers misrepresented the situation in his run for governor (the second time the issue came up). It was an event that happened 20+ years before, probably before the campaign staffers were out of diapers, but it didn't make the event any more significant because they misrepresented what happened many years before. Walz did not try to hide the event and has spoken publicly about it. He said he realized he had a problem and he stopped drinking and only drinks sodas now.

GOP are desperate to find anything on him. Meanwhile they have a candidate who is not fit for office and has far more egregious issues and lies daily while they try to dredge up lies from 30+ years ago. There is no equivalency between them. If you care enough about honesty and integrity to care about Walz' DUI from 30 years ago, his retirement 20 years ago or his family fertility issues from 15 years ago, then you need to care much more about the GOP candidates lies from 30 days ago, 20 hours ago or 15 minutes ago. And then it becomes clear which candidate has many, many more strikes against them and is clearly not fit to win the election in 77 days.
