I was rooting for the young, brilliant, unshakable, gay family man, but apparently that was a no go. Plenty of fantastic black men, too. Nope. Some great women, as well! God forbid a double women’s ticket. Shapiro or Kelly didn’t work for Harris. Tim’s got the chops, many years in Congress, more moderate than most, and he’s good at slapping back in the most polite, sarcastic way. |
Walz didn't let it go unanswered and criticized Hagen as dishonoring a fellow veteran. "There's a code of honor among those who've served, and normally this type of partisan political attack only comes from one who's never worn a uniform," Walz wrote in the same newspaper, The Winona Daily News, just days before being elected. During his two decades, Walz was part of flood fights, responded to tornadoes and spent months on active duty deployed overseas. He specialized in heavy artillery and had ribbons for proficiency in sharpshooting and hand grenades, according to military records obtained through an open records request. Walz acknowledges he never saw combat. "I know that there are certainly folks that did far more than I did. I know that," Walz said. "I willingly say that I got far more out of the military than they got out of me, from the GI Bill to leadership opportunities to everything else." |
Cadet Bonespurs attacking Walz's military record is a laugh. |
It’s 1 year. Get over yourself. |
Tim Walz just snuck a $20 bill in your back pocket because he's worried you don't have enough gas money to get home. |
They're also in the Comet Ping Pong basement. |
They are being serious not facetious. Arrested development and permanent adolescence is a prime thing with liberals. The correct terms for Kamala and Tim are DEI & DUI. |
I’m assuming Walz was thoroughly vetted, the internet scanned and was chosen with certainty. Even Senator
Manchin praises this pick. |
Local news clip of Walz (https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/while-walz-waits-on-vp-decision-focus-turns-to-his-record/) when he first got into Congress in 2006 and he was talking about how they told him Congress might have to take a pay cut that year and to prepare for the reduced income. Walz being a former high school teacher was like “what are you talking about this is 4x more than I’ve ever made in my life!” “We just had a session talking about some of the benefits and things like that and they were talking about, ‘I know most of you are taking pay cuts,’” Walz said about how many members of Congress come from wealthy backgrounds. “And I leaned to my aide and said, ‘This is four times what I’ve ever made in my life.’ I don’t understand what they’re talking about, so that connection to the average person is just stunning to me.” |
