The former presidential candidate can’t help herself. She keeps finding new ways to lose.
And Hillary Clinton goes down in flames after a failed attack on JD Vance.
Hillary Clinton, who once faced criticism for falsely claiming she took sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia, has recently stepped in to defend Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate.
Walz has come under fire for embellishing his military service and opting to retire before his unit, where he held a senior leadership position, was deployed to Iraq.
In a post on X, Clinton wrote, “Tim Walz served honorably for two decades. Then he joined Congress and worked to pass a new GI bill that helped fund the college educations of millions of veterans—among them, JD Vance.”

Then he joined Congress and worked to pass a new GI bill that helped fund the college educations of millions of veterans—among them, JD Vance.
While Clinton’s post praised Walz’s legislative efforts, it noticeably omitted any mention of the controversies surrounding his military record.
Clinton’s post did not address the fact that Walz falsely claimed, over the last two decades, to have retired as a command sergeant major, when in reality, he retired at a lower rank. It also failed to mention his untrue assertion that he had carried weapons “in war,” despite never having served in a combat role.
Additionally, Clinton did not acknowledge that Walz chose to retire from his military contract early, just months before his unit’s deployment to Iraq.
Clinton disabled replies to this post, as she has done with other recent posts on X, further limiting public discourse on the matter.
Walz’s Military Service Controversy
Since being selected as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, Walz has faced increasing scrutiny regarding his military service, which has been a cornerstone of his political persona since his election to Congress in 2006.
He has repeatedly misrepresented himself as the highest-ranking senior enlisted member to have served in the U.S. Congress and has often implied that he deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
He has never corrected others when they mistakenly claimed he had served in these combat zones.
The Harris-Walz campaign has only addressed one aspect of the growing controversy—Walz’s false claim of having carried weapons “in war.”
Ironically, the campaign itself posted the video in which Walz made this claim on its X account, before the full extent of his exaggerated military record became a scandal.
But just like many campaigns run by the Left, the Harris/Walz campaign seems to constantly lie in an effort to gain as many votes as possible.
If they didn’t lie, then voters would realize that both Harris and Walz have absolutely nothing to run on.
What a shameful way to run a presidential campaign.
