Even CNN’s Van Jones, who initially defended Mr. Walz, is now pulling back, essentially conceding that this stolen valor scandal could escalate into a real crisis.
. @cnn’s @VanJones68 just flipped from defending Tim Walz’s stolen valor to this:
“It’s conceivable that he’s been loose with his language.
If he said one or two things that were sloppy…”
This is a deepening crisis.

We think this scandal is already in “crisis mode.” In fact, the actual Iraqi vet who took over for Tim Walz during his 2005 deployment has compared Walz to US traitor and deserter Bowe Bergdahl.

Mr. Behrends is making the rounds, sharing his story about “Stolen Valor Tampon Tim” with anyone who will listen. This is a devastating blow to the Kamala/Walz ticket, and they’ll struggle to recover. There’s nothing more reprehensible than using stolen valor to climb the political ladder, and the American people won’t stand for this.

Here’s a breakdown of the timeline, according to Tom Behrends.
REPORT: Governor Tim Walz Stolen Valor scandal explained by Thomas Behrends, the man who was deployed to Iraq in place of Walz.
1. In early 2005, a warning order went out to the southern MN’s First Battalion-125th Field Artillery to mobilize for a mission to Iraq. Walz was the unit’s highest non-commissioned officer.
2. In May of 2005, Walz retired from the guard, avoided the deployment, and ran for Congress.
3. National Guard records show his service obligation wasn’t complete until September 2007.
4. Behrends was asked to take his place.
5. “I was like well, for Pete’s sake, if this guy quits, if I say I’m not going to do it, I mean, what the h*ll kind of leadership is that?”
6. “[Walz] said he’s a retired command sergeant major. Just tooting his own horn, hanging on the coattails of people that actually are command sergeant majors that went through all the process and put all the time in.”
7. Walz has claimed for years he retired as a command sergeant major, something that is refuted by the Minnesota National Guard.
8. Behrends: “It’s stolen valor is really what it is. I don’t know of anybody else that’s done what he’s done.”

Let’s face it, Tim Walz’s past is catching up with him in a big way, including a laundry list of disgraceful stolen valor comments that are now haunting him and threatening the Dems’ 2024 ticket.
WATCH: More stolen valor from Kamala’s VP pick Tim Walz:

Tampon Tim even held a sign claiming to be a vet from Operation Enduring Freedom. Incredibly shameless. Tim Walz is a disgusting liar. He never even served in Afghanistan.

However, Tim’s disgraceful stolen valor past isn’t new—just don’t tell Jake Tapper, who’s doing exactly what you’d expect from regime-run media. He’s desperately defending the indefensible.
CNN’s Jake Tapper DEFENDS Tim Walz, calling it “crazy” for anyone to say Walz engaged in “stolen valor” regarding his service record…..
Tapper: “He retired as an E8 not as an E9. These tend to be very internal military —”
Tom Foreman: “Yeah.”
Tapper: “— debates and discussions and for the rest of us who never served —”
Foreman: “Right.”
Tapper: “— our instinct is —”
Foreman: “Thank —”
Tapper: “— thank you for serving.”
Foreman: “And to equate that to stolen valor —”
Tapper: “No.”
Foreman: “— you and I —”
Tapper: “That’s — that’s crazy.”
Foreman: “— know the difference.”
Tapper: “It’s not stolen valor.”
Foreman: “Yeah, not at all.”
This did not hold up well at all. https://t.co/gq0cqkHmUo

Unfortunately for Jake and Tim, this article from 2006 proves that people have been reporting on Tim’s stolen valor for nearly two decades.
The regime-run media is working overtime to shield Tampon Tim from a barrage of issues: his extreme trans agenda targeting children, his soft-on-crime record, his efforts to squash free speech, and now this horrific stolen valor scandal. It really makes you wonder if anyone at Team DEI (the Kamala campaign) bothered to vet this chubby, lying Marxist. It’s not surprising they didn’t. After all, Team Kamala isn’t aiming to be the “best.” They’re just looking for a free pass into the White House, believing the American people are naive enough to let it happen again.
Don’t prove them right. Fight hard against this radical duo. This is our last stand against tyranny, radical transgenderism, soaring crime, open borders, and stolen valor. Make it count.
