Kamala Harris revealed her selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday.
Shortly after the announcement, a video emerged showing Walz falsely asserting that he was a combat veteran.
"We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war" – Tim Walz
What's more disturbing about what Tim Walz says here?
1. Gov. Walz never went to war yet clearly said he did

It is a crime to falsely present yourself as a combat war veteran. It is truly astonishing that the Democrats did not uncover this while vetting the far-left Minnesota Governor for their vice presidential candidate.
The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 made it a “federal crime for an individual to fraudulently hold oneself out to be a recipient of any of several specified military decorations or medals with the intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit.”
The Stolen Valor Act also criminalized the act of lying to gain unearned veterans health-care benefits or other rewards, such as employment reserved for veterans.
American Legion Commander James E. Koutz praised the bipartisan vote at the time, saying,
“Those who deliberately lie about military service, wear medals they did not earn or make claims of combat heroism they did not achieve are more than just liars. They are perpetrators of the worst kind of fraud. Their lies are an insult to all who have truly stood in harm’s way and earned their decorations. We raised this issue at our national convention, and the House acted.”
On Wednesday night, a second video surfaced of Governor Walz lying that he was a war veteran. Walz is heard saying, “I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time.”
The Democrats overlooked this information while conducting their background and historical checks.
Tim Walz before he quit the service and abandoned his troops who were called to serve in the Iraq War.
In response to this development, Greg Kelly, a retired lieutenant colonel in the US Marine Corps Reserve and host on Newsmax TV, expressed his opinion.
On his widely followed social media account, Kelly posted a tweet suggesting that Tim Walz should be imprisoned for his unlawful behavior.
WALZ just broke Federal Law: In boasting about a going to a War he actually SKIPPED, Timmy Walz is in violation of The Stolen Valor Act of 2013. Penalty: ONE YEAR in Jail. Prosecute Now!!!! pic.twitter.com/hEbVgF0z8A

Greg Kelly is correct. Whoever violates the Stolen Valor Act “shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.”

Tim Walz’s stolen valor scandal continues to worsen as he evades answering questions from the press.
If he were a Republican, it is likely that he would have resigned by now and be under legal scrutiny.

I have nothing but contempt for people who allege they were serving in a combat zone, who were not. I understand that claiming this is illegal, as it should be. I was never in the military. I was a surgeon for the VA for my surgical residency. We have a club in our community for veterans who served in combat zones. I have been “invited to join” because I was a VA doctor.
I would never do that and politely declined. I have no business or purpose in that club. I am not qualified to join and never would.

Maybe you should rethink joining that veterans group because they can invite people to be an honorary member because you worked in support of the military during time of war. You should consider it an honor to be invited to be part of their group.
LOCK HIM UP, and any democrat caught trying to hide the story! We all KNOW that blumental is guilty of stolen valor, but it’s doubtful he’ll ever be held accountable. He is just another swamp rat that needs to be included when they really start draining the swamp!
Should happen to Kerry also!
DeNang Dick too of course.
Yes grumpyveteran, he should be locked up along with John Kerry as rattlerjake stated.
I served my Country as an Army veteran 1979-1983 but never went to war and I have never said I was a war veteran.
I have enormous respect for war veterans and Walz should be prosecuted for the stolen valor act.
I distinctly remember hearing the screams from the Dems. NO ONE is above the Law! (seems except them! 2 tier once again. Blumental and Kerry.) Hope the fine is substantial. Then forced resignation as Gvr! Our state has suffered greatly due to these demorats! Not to mention WALZ released the locusts all across the US! He/Ellison KNEW Floyd OD’d but pushed the racial lie! Bent knee to BLM/Antifa. See- TheFallofMinneapolis. com Pass it on. Anyone who sees this should be enraged! Crime cross the US may not have happened if Walz was an upstanding leader. Instead they all lied!
Has the Stolen Valor Act been rewritten? Because in 2012 with the help of John Roberts, the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Alvarez, 567 U.S. 709 (2012), that the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 was unconstitutional.
Yes, The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 was a revision of the 2005 act was passed by the House, 390-3 and the Senate unanimously and subsequently was signed by President Obama on May 22, 2013
DemoRats are lying scum. ALL OF THEM.
Never trust a DemoRat.
Walz Old Yellow Stain that’s his real name he couldn’t run fast enough when his unit was being deployed to Afghanistan what a treasonous accomplishment. This who we want leading America and dealing with world leaders. Democrat voters are the stupidest people because they never admit they’re wrong. How did Biden and Harris work out for you yep the border is secure we heard that for 3.5 years and 15 million illegals invaded our country. Wake up democrats before it’s to late to save America
