50 GOP Veterans Condemn Tim Walz for Stolen Valor Claims

Aug 21, 2024, 04:02 PM

Fifty GOP military veterans serving in the U.S. House and Senate have signed a letter condemning Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, for allegedly misrepresenting his military service. The letter accuses Walz of 'stolen valor,' claiming he falsely portrayed his military rank and combat experience during his 24 years in the Army National Guard. The veterans assert that Walz's actions constitute 'egregious misrepresentations' and diminish the sacrifices of those who have genuinely served. The controversy arises as Walz is set to accept the vice presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention.
