Maybe it’s time Tim Walz went away…
During remarks at a veterans’ rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul on Wednesday, Governor and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was brutally heckled for stolen valor and his connections to communist China.
Veterans unloaded on Walz at the annual “Veterans Day on the Hill.”
“Coward! You sympathize with the Chinese!” veterans holding American flags and “take action” signs shouted at Walz before he could start his remarks.
Sir, you’re welcome to come… Let me finish!” Walz replied as he tried to ease tensions while another veteran shouted: “Shut your f—— mouth!”
“Woah, hey – there’s some passion in the building, which is a good thing,” Walz continued.
What a mess.

From Fox News:
Footage of the hecklers disrupting Walz’s remarks has gone viral on social media, with conservative influencers celebrating the criticism.
Walz faced accusations of stolen valor during the 2024 presidential election for inconsistencies describing his military service.
Walz is a veteran, having served in the Minnesota National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery after transferring from the Nebraska National Guard in 1996. He retired as a master sergeant in 2005.
The former vice presidential candidate was accused of stolen valor for retiring just months before his battalion deployed to Iraq as war raged in the Middle East following the 9/11 attacks. Walz put in his papers for retirement at least five months before his battalion received deployment orders, according to the Minnesota National Guard.
Walz was also discovered to have claimed several times that he retired as a command sergeant major, which is not accurate – he reverted to his previous rank upon retirement because he did not complete the necessary corresponding coursework, the National Guard has said.
Walz’s decades-long ties to China also came to light when Vice President Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate last summer. He worked briefly in China as a teacher, traveling to Guangdong in 1989 for a teaching-abroad program to teach English and American history.
