Tim Walz spoke at the AFSCME conference this week about the courage-stealing accusations that have been repeated for days and seem to be an attempt to play the victim.
If you watch the clip of his speech below, you can see on his face that this story is affecting him. This made him uneasy.
What he and the Harris campaign failed to address is that no one questioned his service, they just criticized him for lying about the details.

Tim Walz plays victim after Stolen Valor expose: ‘You should never denigrate someone else’s service record’
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ current vice presidential pick, is on social media for describing himself as a victim of “stolen courage” accusations There was a backlash in the media.
In a speech at the AFSCME conference this week, Walz attacked many of the accusations against him but did not specifically address them. Instead, he talked about his 24 years in the National Guard (which no one disputes) and his work in Congress helping veterans. Walz did not mention the name of J.D. Vance, Trump’s choice for vice president, but said: “I am very proud of my service to this country. I firmly believe that you should never denigrate another person’s service record. For anyone To those of you who had the courage to put on the uniform for our great country, I have just a few words: Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
The speech sparked a backlash on social media, especially from members of the U.S. military, because it confused the allegations against Walz. Retired colonel Rob Maness wrote on To embellish one’s military service record for personal gain is to humiliate oneself.
