DNC Livewire Night 3: Spotlight on Deceptive Tim Walz

Breitbart News has cast a critical eye on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has been selected as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in the upcoming election. According to the article, Walz is depicted as a pathological liar, particularly due to discrepancies in his accounts of military service.

Criticism of Tim Walz

Governor Walz has come under fire for allegedly fabricating details about his military background. Prominent among these accusations are claims that Walz exaggerated his role in the military, falsely stating he participated in combat and inflating his rank and the length of his service.

Military Service Fabrications

Several specific falsehoods have been highlighted. Walz purportedly claimed to carry weapons in war despite never being deployed to a combat zone. Additionally, he has been accused of misrepresenting his rank, claiming to be a retired command sergeant major when he actually retired as a master sergeant. Questions have also been raised about the accuracy of his stated duration of military service.

Media Coverage

The coverage of the DNC has been largely negative, with multiple media outlets criticizing the convention’s programming and approach to addressing ongoing issues within the party and the country. The media’s scrutiny extends to the selection of Walz as Harris’s running mate.

Eric Holder’s Involvement

Former Attorney General Eric Holder, who was heavily involved in the vetting process for Harris’s vice presidential pick, faced tough questions from a reporter about why Walz’s military fabrications were not properly scrutinized. Holder’s response was notably aggressive, marked by profanity and a refusal to directly answer the question.

Party Dynamics

There appears to be internal dissatisfaction within the Democratic Party, with some members expressing that Michelle Obama would have been their dream candidate rather than Kamala Harris. This internal discord suggests that Harris, and now Walz by extension, may not be the preferred choice for a significant faction within the party.

Convention Attendance and Viewership

Viewership metrics for the DNC reveal a substantial decline in audience interest. The first night of the convention attracted 20 million viewers, marking a 22% drop from 2016’s viewership figures. This decline could indicate a waning interest or confidence in the Democratic platform.

Protests and Unrest

Adding to the tumult, the convention has also seen protests and unrest. Notably, clashes erupted between pro-Palestinian protesters and police near the Israeli consulate in Chicago, underscoring the polarized and contentious atmosphere surrounding the convention.

In summary, the Democratic National Convention and the Harris-Walz ticket faces numerous challenges and controversies, from accusations against Tim Walz to broader discontent within the Democratic Party.
