Radical politician branded as moderate following Kamala decision.
Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris announced her running mate on Tuesday, revealing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as the selection.
Likely signaling the overall Democrat narrative for Walz, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) painted the governor as a moderate Democrat during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Tim Walz is wonderful, and she had many good choices… Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as left is so unreal, it’s just not what the [unintelligible] He’s right down the middle. He’s a heartland of America Democrat,” she said.

Pelosi added, “He was the chair of our Veteran’s Affairs Committee. I don’t want anyone to forget that because he made tremendous gains for our veterans… Twenty-five years in the national guard, longest-serving non-commissioned officer ever served in the Congress of the United States. So, he brings the security credential and he brings the moral credential.”
While the congresswoman claims Walz will be a pro-military veteran candidate, leadership in the Minnesota National Guard exposed him in 2018 for quitting on his team before being sent to Iraq and exaggerating the reality behind his rank.
Written by “retired Command Sergeants Major of the Minnesota National Guard,” an article titled, “The Truth About Tim Walz,” exposed the governor’s service records.
“In early 2005, a warning order was issued to the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion, which included the position he was serving in, to prepare to be mobilized for active duty for a deployment to Iraq. On May 16th, 2005 he quit, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war,” the retired Sergeants Major wrote.
They added, “His excuse to other leaders was that he needed to retire in order to run for congress. Which is false, according to a Department of Defense Directive, he could have run and requested permission from the Secretary of Defense before entering active duty; as many reservists have.”
“He claims to be the highest-ranking enlisted service member ever to serve in congress. Even though he was conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major less than eight months, quit before his obligations were met, and was reduced to Master Sergeant for retirement. Yes, he served at that rank, but was never qualified at that rank, and will receive retirement benefits at one rank below. You be the judge.”
The harsh letter concluded, “When the nation called, he quit. He failed to complete the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy. He failed to serve for two years following completion of the academy, which he dropped out of. He failed to serve two years after the conditional promotion to Command Sergeant Major. He failed to fulfill the full six years of the enlistment he signed on September 18th, 2001. He failed his country. He failed his state. He failed the Minnesota Army National Guard, the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion, and his fellow Soldiers. And he failed to lead by example. Shameful.”
Human Events Senior Editor and former U.S. Navy intelligence officer Jack Posobiec posted the article, writing, “Minnesota National Guard Leaders publish letter exposing Tim Walz for Stolen Valor.”

Challenging Pelosi’s assertion that Walz is a moderate is the fact that as governor he signed a law allowing illegal aliens to obtain a driver’s license in the state of Minnesota.

The Donald Trump and J.D. Vance Republican presidential campaign quickly released an ad on Tuesday, exposing Walz for supporting child sex changes, tampons in male restrooms, and letting biological males play women’s sports.
Man the Trump people move fast
They just dropped a blistering ad that exposes Tim Walz for:
-putting tampons in boys bathrooms
-allowing minor children to have their genitals permanently mutilated
-putting men in women’s sports
This guy is FAR left

Of course, Walz also allowed the 2020 BLM riots to destroy major cities in his state, and cracked down on citizens during the COVID-19 lockdowns in an authoritarian fashion.
Walz even set up a hotline for citizens to report peers who “violated” COVID-19 mandates during the pandemic.

In a video clip posted online, Walz seemed to admit he’s fond of socialism.

Oh, and the Democrat governor also gave a nod to the state’s massive Somalian community by changing the Minnesota flag in May to more closely resemble the flag of Somalia.
THROWBACK:
Tim Walz is the governor who just changed the Minnesota flag to resemble the Somalian flag.
