Stolen Valor Walz Strikes Again With Misleading Congressional Challenge Coin


Ward Clark reporting for RedState 

The more one digs into this whole "Tim Walz lies about his military service" issue, the more comes to light that this guy was not in the slightest bit shy about dissembling if he saw any advantage in it. In the latest spate of information, Daily Wire correspondent Bree A. Dail found an image on X (formerly Twitter) of Tim Walz's "Congressional Challenge Coin" from his time in the House of Representatives.

And, yes, he portrays his former rank on the coin as Command Sergeant Major (CSM.)

This just keeps getting better and better. Remember that Walz was only "frocked" as a CSM, meaning he was allowed to wear the rank badges due to his being in a position that required the rank, but he was never actually promoted, as he never completed the training requirements. As one wag pointed out, being "frocked" in a rank is much like claiming one won a footrace because he was in the lead for a couple of laps; no soldier with any sense of honor or respect for the rank would have prevaricated about something like this, much less made it a career-enhancing talking point.

And, yes, Walz "misspoke" about "carrying weapons of war in a war," and what's more, he's been doing it for almost two decades. There is no way this is anything but deliberate.

That "Congressional Challenge Coin" issue has been corroborated by someone who was a Congressional intern.

The drip, drip, drip of the truth coming out is turning into a steady flow; even people from Walz's former Minnesota National Guard unit are coming forward to set the record straight.

But there is still much work to be done exploding this fraud. Even Wikipedia, it seems, has been taken in by the scam. Governor Walz's Wikipedia page, under "Military Service," lists his rank as "Command Sergeant Major," and under "Battles/wars" it lists "War in Afghanistan/Operation Enduring Freedom." That is clearly implying service in Afghanistan, which Walz did not do. Walz, again, took credit for a rank he did not earn and claimed he took part in a war in which he was not even on the same continent as the fighting.

There are many terms the military has for sacks-o-crap like Tim Walz, but almost none of them can be presented here. We all know what they are, regardless. Suffice it to say that Tim Walz, in addition to being an unapologetic commie-lib with totalitarian leanings, is a liar. He claims credit for service he skipped out on. He lied, repeatedly, and for years, about having achieved the ultimate enlisted rank possible in the U.S. Army, he lied, repeatedly and for years, about having served in a war zone, when in fact on his one deployment the greatest risk he ran was indigestion from eating too much spaghetti.

Tim Walz is dishonest. He is dishonorable. And he is therefore fundamentally unsuited to hold the office of Vice President of the United States.
