Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will make his first solo appearance in Southern California as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate Tuesday.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will make his first solo appearance as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate Tuesday at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees International Convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The Republican Party of Orange County issued a statement criticizing Walz regarding his record in the Minnesota National Guard. Walz, who served in the National Guard for 24 years, has come under fire from Republican vice presidential nominee and U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a combat correspondent from 2003 to 2007, for retiring months before his unit deployed to Iraq.
Walz served as a command sergeant major, but officially retired a rank lower because he had not completed some courses required for the higher rank.Orange County Republican Party Chairman Fred Whitaker added,"As a son of a World War II combat veteran, it's disgusting that Walz would use the sacrifice of our service members for his political gain, especially after he cut and run when called to deploy into Iraq.
"As a combat veteran, we must respect every man and woman who has worn the uniform,'' Berardino told City News Service."Our success on the battlefield as well as nationally is based upon a team of heroes that do a thousand different jobs to protect our freedom. On foreign soil and at home.''"I've heard from many veterans,'' he said."There's certainly a variety of opinions.
"Gov. Walz has a clear record supporting veterans while in the National Guard and during his time in office,'' Foley added. "Importantly, as the lead House sponsor for the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act, Gov. Walz worked to stem veterans suicide by funding suicide prevention programs, requiring an analysis and report of program effectiveness, and incentives for psychiatrists who agree to join the VA medical system.
