Quick reminder…
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has lied about his military rank; his 1995 DUI arrest; using IVF to have children; carrying a weapon in war; and a 1989 trip to China. But Mr. Walz says he doesn’t think Americans care about the lies.
While speaking with Fox News’ Shannon Bream over the weekend, the VP candidate said he believes that people “heard” him “speaking passionately” about issues where he made false claims.
“You’ve modified your story or explained that you misspoke about things involving your military rank, about carrying a weapon in war, your 1995 DUI arrest, using IVF to have your beautiful children, being in Hong Kong and China in the summer of 1989 during the Tiananmen events,” Bream said.
“A lot of people would say they couldn’t get away with saying, ‘I’m just too passionate. My grammar is not right. I’m a knucklehead,’” Bream continued. “What do you say to the American people who think I don’t know that I can trust this guy with all those modifications to be the potential commander in chief of this country?”
“I think they heard me,” Walz said. “I think people heard me the other night talking passionately about gun violence and misspeaking. And I got to be honest with you, Shannon — I don’t think people care whether I used IUI or IVF when we talk about this”
