Yikes…
Minnesota Governor and former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was met with an onslaught of fury from America’s heroes during remarks at a veterans rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul on Wednesday.
As Walz welcomed the veterans to the Capitol for the annual “Veterans Day on the Hill,” he was met by a fiery crowd who called him a “coward” and criticized him for sympathizing with China, according to footage.
The Commanders’ Task Force and Minnesota Association of County Veterans Service Officers hosted the rally in the Rotunda that erupted in boos for Walz on Wednesday. The annual event is designed to streamline communication between Minnesota elected officials and veterans.
“Coward! You sympathize with the Chinese!” some veterans shouted at the Democratic governor as they confronted him at the Capitol, waving American flags and holding signs that read “Take Action.”
“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 said before beginning his address.
Footage of the hecklers disrupting Walz’s remarks has gone viral on social media.
Walz faced accusations of stolen valor during the 2024 presidential election for inconsistencies while describing his military service. (RELATED: Biden Admin Official Admits Walz ‘Slipped Up’ With Military Record)
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. (RELATED: CNN Questions Tim Walz’s Military Service Claims)
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.
He was initially believed to have made dozens of trips to China over his lifetime, but a campaign spokesperson later tried to walk that number back and said he made approximately 15 visits to China.

There you go, show how bad ass you are with your comment on being able to kick Trump supporters butt.
“He retired as a master sergeant in 2005.” No, he didn’t! He never completed the requirements!
“He was initially believed to have made dozens of trips to China over his lifetime, but a campaign spokesperson later tried to walk that number back and said he made approximately 15 visits to China.”
Unfortunately, such a reply does nothing to invalidate the claims …Define “visit”: [ to pay a call on as an act of friendship or courtesy; to reside with temporarily as a guest…]. Thus any trip for “business” could have been excluded from the spokesperson’s response.
Scary that any political party would try to install a political stooge of China into one of our highest offices. Never vote democrat again.
