<\/p>\nThe Trump campaign recently released an epic ad criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, for his alleged lies about his past military service. Walz has been continually questioned about the accuracy of his statements about his service in the National Guard, leading many to question his trustworthiness as a politician.<\/p>\n
The ad addressed accusations against Walz that he retired after his unit was given orders to deploy in the Middle East.\u00a0 \u201cWhen his country and his state called up for leadership, Tim Walz abandoned them. In early 2005, his National Guard unit was ordered to deploy to Iraq. He said he\u2019d go, but instead, he retired, leaving his soldiers without their senior non-commissioned officer,\u201d the ad stated.<\/p>\n
The clip then features commentary from retired Command Sgt. Major Doug Julin.\u00a0 \u201cHe abandoned us. As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned around the other way,\u201d he said. Retired Command Sgt. Major Paul Herr also said, \u201cGovernor Walz had disappeared, been retired, out and left, basically his troops high and dry.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ad concluded, \u201cThe New York Times exposed walls misrepresented his military record. In May 2020, as Black Lives Matter. Rioters burned down the police station, Governor Tim Walz Walz, again, abandoned, the people who counted on his leadership. Instead of immediately, sending him, the National Guard in coordinating with police, he downplayed the situation, and let the city burn. Twice, Tim. Walz was called to lead.\u00a0 Twice, he ran away.\u201d<\/p>\n
