Tim Walz has been caught in yet another lie — but this time instead of claiming a military rank he never earned, pretending to serve in combat, or using his fake combat experience to justify and legitimize his anti-gun stance, he tried to use service-related hearing loss to get out of a drunk driving scandal, even going as far as blaming the state trooper.
He and his campaign claimed that Walz couldn't hear the state trooper's instructions during the sobriety test because of his years as an artillery soldier, and that's why a judge went on to drop the charges.
Mediaite reports:
CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski revealed in a Thursday report that Walz admitted in court that he had been drinking when police pulled him over in Nebraska for driving 96 mph on a 55 mph road.
However, while running for Congress in 2006 his campaign claimed that he had not been drinking that night and failed his filed sobriety test due to a misunderstanding related to hearing loss due to his service in the National Guard. The campaign also reportedly claimed that police allowed Walz to drive himself to jail that night — that is not true.
In fact, the incident's police report clearly states that Walz was transported by police to a local hospital for blood alcohol testing after being arrested. And this week, Nebraska state police confirmed to CNN that Walz was taken by a state trooper to jail.
“Under NSP procedure, a person suspected of impaired driving is not allowed to continue driving,” Cody Thomas, a spokesman for the Nebraska State Patrol, told CNN. “In this case, the suspect was transported by the trooper and was lodged in Dawes County Jail.”
In his 2018 gubernatorial run, he did admit that he was, in fact, driving drunk at the time, but never addressed the claims he made in previous runs for office, or the discrepancies between what he was no admitting or what he'd claimed years prior. In other words, he never actually acknowledged that he'd lied. When questioned about it, both he and his former staff declined comment.
He described the incident as a “life changing experience” prompting him to “change his behavior” and give up alcohol. He says his drink of choice is now a Mountain Dew.
What readers may find more disturbing than a 30 year old DUI is Walz's clear pattern of dishonesty — especially related to his service.
While some legacy, Democratic colleagues and left wing voters continue to make excuses for him, many of them have been forced to examine his troubling history.
THE ONLY TRUTH THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THAT ALL YES ALL DUMARATS LIE AND THAT IS A GIVEN. THAT IS PART OF BECOMING A DUMBARAT.WHEN ONE LIES ALL THE REST AGREE WITH HIM OR HER. THEY ARE NOT SERVING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN ELECTED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THEY ARE IN THE OFFICE JUST TO STEAL CHEAT AND AMASS ALL THE MONEY THEY CAN BY UNDERHAND MEANS TO FILL THEIR COFFERS. WHY IS ITR WHEN THEY ENTER POLITICS THEY CAN BARELY PAY THEIR MTG,FOOD BILL,ELECTRIC CREDIT CARD BILL BUT AFTER A SHORT TIME IN OFFICE THEY BECOME WEALTHY EVEN THOUGH THEIR SALARIES ARE NO WHERE NEAR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY HAVE STOLEN MAKING UNDERHANDED DEALS AND STEALING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. LOOK AT THE POLITICIANS THAT ARE NOW ADMITTING THEIR LIES THEFTS AND ARE PLEADING GUILTY TO ALL OR MOST OF THEIR CRIMES. AMERICA WAKE UP BEFORE THERE IS NO MORE AMERICA,JUST ANOTHER SOCIALISTIC/COMMUNIST COUNTRY. GOD HELP US ALL!
