Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was recently seen avoiding a reporter who attempted to question him about allegations related to his military service record.

This event took place just after Walz, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, landed in Wisconsin for the second of their swing state campaign rallies. Walz had recently been announced as the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate. As they were meeting a select group of supporters on the tarmac, a reporter posed some sharp questions about Walz’s military service record.

The reporter asked, “Governor, Vance accused you of stolen valor. Your response?” When no answer was given, the reporter persisted, repeating the question as Walz was about to leave the tarmac. At this point, Walz noticeably quickened his pace, swiftly moving to a waiting Secret Service vehicle.

REPORTER: Your response to allegation of stolen valor?

WALZ: *ignores*

This incident has drawn attention as Walz faces increased scrutiny over questions about his military service record.

In a 2018 letter endorsing him to the West Central Tribune, retired Command Sergeant Majors Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr made a serious accusation. They claimed that Walz had been overstating and conveniently omitting parts of his military experience.

The Harris Biden campaign has seemingly admitted they made “an innocent mistake” when they tried to bbrag about Walz.

He’s Joe Biden without the dementia. https://t.co/BiZTE6RQbn

Then CNN ran a gross segment about Vance.

Multiple service members died in Iraq and Afghanistan who did the same job Vance did.

And Brianna Keilar, in a desperate attempt to gloss over Walz’s stolen valor, just insinuated they are all worthless.

Disgusting.

What adds so much insult to injury is that it was a Harris campaign social media account that started this.

Since everyone is arguing over the placement of a comma, this is the original source of the video. I am only posting the facts of his records… period. pic.twitter.com/KunrTCgEQE
