50 GOP Lawmakers Condemn VP Candidate Tim Walz Over 'Stolen Valor'
Aug 21, 2024, 02:05 PM
Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, is facing significant backlash from military veterans over allegations of 'stolen valor'. Fifty GOP lawmakers, who are also military veterans, have signed a document condemning Walz for allegedly making 'egregious misrepresentations' about his 24 years of service in the Army National Guard. Former service members from the House and Senate have criticized Walz, accusing him of building his political career on a foundation of false claims regarding a military title he did not earn and combat deployments he did not participate in. The veterans have expressed their disapproval in an open letter, intensifying the controversy as Walz is set to formally accept the vice presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Despite the allegations, the Harris campaign has not denied Walz's misrepresentations, attributing them to him 'misspeaking'.
