Tim Walz’s Claim He Carried Weapons in War ‘Absolutely False’: CNN

Tim Walz’s military record is coming under renewed scrutiny after a CNN fact check concluded that the new Democratic vice presidential nominee’s claim that he carried weapons “in war” was “absolutely false.”

CNN’s Tom Foreman said the quote was misleading because Walz, 60, was never in combat in a war zone.

The check came after Walz’s GOP counterpart J.D. Vance accused Kamala Harris’ running mate of “stolen valor” for claiming in a recently resurfaced 2018 clip that he carried “weapons of war” in war.
