It would appear this 80 year old veteran from a small town in Oregon is listening more closely to the candidate than the members of this panel.
Yeah put tampons in boys toilet what a clever idiot
The fact that CNN recognizes Kamala doesn't take interviews is amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The National Guard is a small step above ROTC.
I have supported the Democratic Party in EVERY Presidential election since 1992, but I have never been so disgusted with a Democratic Presidential ticket. Tim Walz is a liar, and a petty one at that. Walz is a selfish disgrace who used the public's ignorance of Army National Guard military service to help himself to valor that was never his to take. Worse still, he retired to avoid to serving in Iraq. I will never vote for Harris-Walz and don't know of any fellow vets that would.
Why isn’t Trump and Vance being asked about their lie that Taylor Swift endorsed them?

Walz only wanted to be in the military only so long as he didn't have to do what we have the military for in the first place. He was in there for over 20 years and then quit when he was called to duty.
Vance on the other hand went into combat zones. His service was shorter but a lot of guys in his same job got killed over there. That is something CNN won't tell you.
CNN also won't tell you that Walz lied many times about being a combat veteran. He never saw combat and when it was his turn to go — he retired. That's fine but he should not have boldfaced lied about it.
CNN failed to tell us the real facts but what else do you expect from Fake News? They are always running cover for the Democrat Party.
I can tell you as a peacetime vet myself I never accidently told people otherwise. That just doesn't happen unless you want it to happen.
Another thing that is at issue is that Walz should have had no expectation he would get away with his lies but he lied anyway. He has to be a real psycho.
Vance looks like Pile from Full Metal jacket
Anyone with any sense of the military understands that the highest rank Waltz achieved was CSM. That is the highest rank he legitimately wore and earned. Beginning in basic training we are taught that our weapons are those of war, period. Irregardless to if you are on the battlefield or not. After 20 years of service every service member decides when it’s time to retire and not some naysayers who probably never served. You can’t abandon service members who have not yet deployed IDIOTS 🤡🤮
Mr. Vance, Thank you for your service to our Country but…. To try and take down another serviceman who served 24 years (had one slip of verse) is just wrong. He put in his paperwork for retirement well before his unit were told they would deploy to the Middle East.
Dems being completely cooked in the comments because it's simply impossible to defend a blatant lie.
Weekend warrior Waltz vs Marine full time …..
I bet Vance spent 6 months inside the green zone.
I'm more concerned about Stolen Democracy from Trump who said he'd be dictator for one day, who's vice pick wrote a forward for Project 2025 Roberts book & encouraged supporters to “circle the wagons and load the muskets" & that is rhetoric that could lead to another Jan 6th in my opinion.
Walz is going to crap his pants if he and commu kamala get elected because there will be a civil war. Let's see how fast he'll leave the country for a cushy island. 😂
Waltz lied. Stolen valor
It’s great that both Vance and Walz served (as did I). but the simple point is that Walz LIED about his service record. That’s called “stolen valor”, and it is a felony. and Walz should be called out for that.
Vance- how low can you go?
One was a wanna-be weekend warrior pretender that tucked-tail when time to fight came. The other was legit. Big difference.
CNN staff are a bunch of clowns giving free campaigning to Kamala smh 🤦🏻♂️
The National Guard has a lot of. responsibility here at home, fighting forest fires, response to hurticanes tornados and floods, to say that their service isn't important , is absolutely mindless.
Timmy lied simple as that.. all you need is the paperwork, Minnesota National Guard has already supplied it.
Timmy did not retire as a command sergeant major.
Timmy did not carry weapons of war in war.😅
Even fake news Anderson pooper can't spin this😅.
But most of all Timmy tampon left his Battalion at the most vulnerable moment about to do the most dangerous thing they've ever done in their life go to war, two of Timmy's Battalion soldiers died in Iraq..
All this while Timmy was running for congress…
Timmy said he thought he would better off serve soldiers as a possible Congressman then lead his troops his Battalion into war.. coward!😅
A funny JD Vance parody song. https://youtu.be/-iWKj1QZH98?si=Qul6Fa_ercYi2VaC
When Walz said "We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at" he implied he went in war, Vance's problem with that was it wasn't true, he didn't attack veterans.
I am certain if Walz had not implied what he did, Vance would have given him a lot of respect, serving 24 years is not insignificant.
Trump does rallies and interviews, Kamala does just rallies, she wants to be president, she should at least do a few interviews if not as much.
I don't really get the people's president vibe with Kamala, I get more like a celebrity president vibe, with now Beyonce showing support, Beyonce is cool but presidency is more about creating jobs and fixing problems than entertainment.
At the end of the day it is a low browed, underhanded, disingenuous tactic that carries the stench of dishonor. Vance has simply shown us yet again who he is. Let's pay attention.
The thumbnail somehow makes me think of Gomer Pyle.
Weird. 😁
CNN please do yourself a favor and be careful. We see you and remember what you did in 2015 and 16. There are plenty of other places to get honest information
