Opinion | Walz's little embellishments are still a big problem
The Minnesota governor has made something of a habit of misrepresenting his personal life. It needs to stop.

Here is yet another hit piece against the GOP, only, it is a hit piece that is defending one Tim Walz.
It begins by pointing out the untruths spoken of by Tim Walz. Sure, he MISPOKE about being in Tianamen Square in China when it happened. I mean, who could ever remember if they were at such a historic breaking event in human history. Anyone could forget that, right? Then they admit he MISPOKE about serving in the armed forces at war time. But the same could be said for misspeaking about this. Who would properly remember whether they were being shot at as they saw people dying all around them? I know I would forget about that the next day, how about you? Then they admit he MISPOKE about his wife using in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive their children. I guess this is the most believable. Just say that his wife got him drunk and can't remember how she got that sperm from him. About half of American men across the nation could probably even relate to that MISSPEAKING.
Then they switch gears and lay into the deliberate LIES of the GOP. Here is what they write
Let’s be clear: There is absolutely no equivalence between Walz’s small-scale false statements and Donald Trump, JD Vance and their allies’ gigantic fascistic fabrications about issues such as election results and the dietary habits of immigrants in Ohio. But “not Donald Trump” is not an acceptable standard for any politician. Walz ought to get his story straight and speak clearly to the American people. This is all the more important because embellishment about his personal life seems to be something of a habit for him. That the Republican presidential ticket is made up of agents of mass deception does not relieve Walz of his burden to speak honestly — it only makes it more significant.
Is it even possible for democrats to lie? No, apparently they just mispeak. And is it a lie to bring up the fact that the citizens of Springfield said they saw Haitians eating wildlife? Would that not be the citizens lying and not Trump, or are our political leaders expected to judge them liars as they simply dismiss the story as fabrication because they did not take any pictures of the event? And is it a lie to say you think the election results were fabricated when you don't have proof? If so, then democrats are all liars for saying Putin got Trump elected in 2016, as Hillary and company called Trump illegitimate.
The kicker was the very end when the article states that the American people simply love Tim and hate JD.
Walz has strikingly high favorability with the American public so far, in no small part because his persona is that of the genuine, salt-of-the-earth kind of politician. But if he keeps up with these embellishments he will squander what may be his most valuable asset.
Is this a lie? I do think that the majority of the public has their views shaped by the Left-wing media with stories such as this. I say this because I've met people who absolutely hate JD Vance, probably more than Trump himself or anyone else on the planet, yet when questioned, they know next to nothing about JD when I ask them questions about him. Inevitably, they simply cite he is against abortion, and then go off on a rant about how JD has sold his soul to MAGA. That is the extent of their hatred, which I can see in their facial expression. It is a genuine hatred. Meanwhile, Tim can lie about removing any restrictions regarding abortion in his own state, including partial birth abortion, and the media says nothing about it.

Walz signed law allowing abortion at any stage and defunded crisis pregnancy centers - Washington Examiner
Walz signed legislation removing restrictions on abortion and cutting funding for crisis pregnancy centers.

Just tired of this clown show.
