Kamala Harris is getting too big for her britches, thanks to the media’s fawning over her.
That’s causing her to make some serious miscalculations.
And Kamala Harris started one fight with J.D. Vance that will backfire in the worst way.
Harris tries to insult Vance and Trump
The Democrat ticket is set after Vice President Kamala Harris named Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
Democrats and their media allies touted Walz’s biography as a former high school teacher and football coach from a small city in Minnesota who served in the National Guard.
Harris and Walz made their first appearance together at a campaign rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She called her running mate “coach” and used his high school background to launch an attack on Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH).
“When you compare Walz’s resume to Trump’s running mate, well, some might say it’s like a matchup between the varsity team and the JV squad!” Harris said before bursting into maniacal laughter.
Walz suggested that Vance was somehow too afraid to debate.
“And I gotta tell you, I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz ranted. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
Tim Walz hit with a stolen valor scandal
Calling Vance, a former Marine who served in Iraq, brought into focus the military service records of the respective Vice Presidential candidates.
Vance deployed to the Anbar province in Iraq during the peak of the insurgency.
But almost immediately after becoming the Democrat Vice Presidential nominee, people began to notice inconsistencies with Walz’ military record.
“Walz served in the Minnesota Army National Guard and retired at the rank of master sergeant, or an E-8. However, on his official website bio, he lists a higher rank that he served at for a short period that ultimately was rescinded, as he did not complete all the requirements to serve at that rank. However, his bio implies that he retired at the rank of command sergeant major, or an E-9,” Breitbart News reported.
He falsely claims that he was a “command sergeant major” in his bio, and Democrats and their media allies have pushed this lie since he first entered Congress over a decade and a half ago.
Several of the soldiers who served with him accused the Minnesota Governor of putting his papers in for retirement after he learned that his National Guard unit would be deployed to Iraq.
A noncommissioned officer, he let the troops under him head off to war while he jumped into a Democrat campaign for Congress.
The most disturbing aspect of Walz’ military service is his attempt to claim that he was “in war” for the benefit of his political career.
Walz spent time at military bases in Norway and Italy during his National Guard service in the 2000s but never actually served in any warzone whatsoever – or ever even close to one.
But videos posted online have shown him claiming to have been “in war” to justify gun control.
“We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,” Walz said.
“We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war” – Tim Walz
What’s more disturbing about what Tim Walz says here?

Walz was also caught holding a sign that claimed he was a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2004.
In ‘04, I worked for the MNGOP. President Bush visited Mankota on August 4, 2004, and I took pictures of protesters outside the event. Tim Walz (pictured on the far-right) protested Bush’s visit to Minnesota. The thread below from Walz about his role at Bush’s event is dishonest. https://t.co/rEpzoF0yE9 pic.twitter.com/ygLiIEG4p1

Lying about or inflating military service is the textbook definition of stolen valor.
