Excerpt:
To nobody’s surprise, CBS News’ hack-tivist debate moderators allowed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s myriad lies about his military service to go unaddressed during Tuesday’s 2024 vice-presidential debate.
While finding time to ask dishonest questions about baby-killing and Jan. 6, neither Norah O’Donnell nor Margaret Brennan bothered to ask Walz about how he regularly inflated his rank and lied about details surrounding his time in the Army National Guard to boost his political career.
For example, on numerous occasions the Minnesota Democrat portrayed himself as a retired command sergeant major. While it’s true that Walz was promoted to command sergeant major during the waning years of his service, he did not complete the minimum number of years required to retain the rank when he abandoned his unit before it deployed to Iraq and is actually a lesser-ranked master sergeant.
