Kamala Harris Campaign Claims Tim Walz “Misspoke” When He Falsely Said He Carried Weapons in War
A spokesman for the Kamala Harris presidential campaign told the Washington Post Friday that running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) “misspoke” when he said in a video posted by the campaign that he had carried weapons in war.

Walz served twenty-four years in the Army National Guard without ever serving in a combat zone. Walz retired in 2005, months before his unit was ordered to Iraq so he could run for Congress, leading to accusations he quit on his men knowing they were likely to be deployed to a war zone.
This is the second time this week since naming Walz as the Democrats’ new vice presidential pick that the Harris campaign has had to clean up for Walz lying about his service.
