No, his 2006 campaign staff were the ones making stuff up.

I believe they said his campaign manager lied about it?

As he did not speak up about it, and he knew that his campaign manager was lying, then he agreed with it. Simple as that.

No surprise Walz would do this. Classic fake nice guy.

Nah. Rapists, terrorists, kiddy fiddlers, heroin and amphetamine dealers, murderers etc all much, much worse.

 

i have told you a million times before to not exaggerate.

No you haven't.........🤔

I don't know anything about him, but he's made a mistake, he owned up to it, he offered to take the consequences by offering to leave his job AND he's quit drinking right after. What more do you want and for how long are they planning on flogging a dead horse? This speaks volumes way more about them than him in my book!

 

How about trying to convince voters to vote for you for what you're planning to do in office  instead of digging up decades old bulll<deleted> on your opponent that doesn't hold any water?!

    He's human and it was quite long ago.  Would it deter me from voting for him ?  No.  Now, how about a convicted rapist, serial liar, grifter, con man, and multi-felon?   Yes.

When did Walz correct his war zone lies? A few weeks ago.

      Leaving old, semi-senile Trump as the dead man walking in the election.   In his coherent periods, Trump is apparently fit to be tied at this turn of events.

Long before he became a political person, Walz did something stupid. Fair enough, no big deal I agree.

 

Long before he became a political person, Trump SAID something stupid (grab em by the p-word).  Yet the same standard didn't apply. 

 

Why is that?

Maybe because it was a big fat nothingburger in 2006, there was nothing to speak up about?

 

In the meantime, you're welcome to keep clutching at straws.

Who cares. Tim Walz has a video where he replaces the Minnesota state flag with what appears to be some Somalian flag. That's far more damning than anything else I've seen.

For you maybe.

 

For others, there's https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.36CD8J8

 

Can you spot the difference?

 

[Jingthing]

I know the story.

He got lucky.

It could have ruined his career and if it had, we wouldn't know his name.

But it didn't and bad as it sounds drunken driving is a crime that probably the vast majorty of adults have been guilty of as of course most get away with it.

Not condoning it but it makes Coach Daddy even more humanly relatable to the masses.

Unlike that phony puppet of billlionaires Project 2025 Vance weirdo who isn't even relatable to his DOG. 

Nice try.

No cigar.

Bring on Harris Walz!

oh I see now. still unlikely not a coincide and I wouldn't vote for him for this reason alone.

Source: New York Times. Walz was a bad pick. It's not even September and he's shaky already, he can't afford many more revelations before he hits Palin territory.

He speaks for 2 hours in state after state. Compared to most 78yos doing very well. The people who hate him online can barely write a sentence that makes sense.

Exactly. All identity and no substance. Harris is only there because of gender and race. If a white man talked about the "passage of time" he would be laughed off stage.

Here is what Trump has done for America!: Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected. Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote. Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned. Only 1 President has ever been criminally indicted. And only ONE President has done ALL FOUR. -

DJT didn't lower taxes (He deferred them) -

He didn't get Americans that healthcare coverage -

He did not unite the USA, he divided it -

He didn't lower prescription drug prices -

He didn't get roads or bridges built He didn't decrease the deficit -

He didn't end the opioid crisis -

He made over 250 visits to his golf clubs costing us taxpayers $150 million -

He didn't revive the coal industry -

He didn't make covid-19 'disappear' He didn't make Mexico pay for the wall 

He is ranked the worst President in history 

He added $2 Billion a month in tariff costs to the American consumer

He has a net-negative jobs creations for his administration 

He decreased corporate taxes, passing the tax burden to the workers 

He added $ 7.8 Trillion to the deficit - a full 25% of the total deficit 

He incited an insurrection against our government 

He is the only president to never achieve 50% approval. 

He didn't put "America first" and he sure didn't "Drain the Swamp... 

He left office with the worst job numbers of any President since the Great Depression with a net job loss over his term 

He is the first former president to be a CONVICTED FELON (34 times). 

 

Not a good record. I will take someone with a DUI over a convicted felon.

Biden increased these tariffs. Jobs fell due to covid.

 

Ever heard of the truth?
