Kamala Harris finally broke her silence on allegations that her running mate Tim Walz embellished his military service to boost his military career.
Harris faced the media for the first time since becoming the Democratic nominee on Thursday and confronted claims that Walz misrepresented his rank when he retired from the National Guard and also mistakenly claimed he 'went to war.'
She responded: 'Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country. And I think that we all should.'

Once again, Kamala does not answer the question.
This will be her undoing.
She is used to softball interviewers letting her get away with her non answers. Three debates will be was too much for her to handle.
She is in over her head and she knows it.

HARRIS: 'Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country. And I think that we all should.'
CRITIC: By the "Kamala standard" it seems that Master Sargent "No Time for Deployments" Tim is a somewhat a lesser "presentation" than Chelsea (aka Bradley) Manning in that at least one of them was "man enough" to actually go to a war zone, although the latter came back as a "female."
BIDEN: "'When you get to know him, he’s the real deal,' per CNN."
CRITIC: You mean except when he's faking his military rank and combat deployment history. (you know, if Joe says "Hunter is the smartest guy I know" what does that say about his ability to assess people?)

Kamala and Biden, never having served in the military, have no clue what "stolen valor" means but they certainly understand everything about "stolen election."

No surprise. It's part of the leftist DNA. The Truth is not in them.
Yet they feel entitled to lead.

#6 is absolutely correct that her voice should be her undoing. She yells juvenile nonsense out her nose. If you're a female impressionist trying to "do" Kamala, learn to employ the nose to its maximum effect, in addition to the hyena laugh. As Hunter knows best of all, "The nose knows."

Neither Biden or Harris ever served in the US military and if they were asked would not be able to tell the difference between a Sergeant and a Warrant Officer in the military, and are clueless about the meaning of “stolen valor”. Waltz was in the Minnesota National Guard, run by the Governor of just about the most liberal Democrat State in the country. So you can bet that the higher enlisted and commissioned officer ranks in the Minnesota National Guard units in peacetime are pretty much highly political in the background and that if you are not connected to Democrat Party politics your chances of being promoted to the higher ranks are somewhat diminished. Waltz has said that the Minnesota National Guard is made up of most all 19 year old cooks! Who ever heard of a US Army National Guard non-commissioned officer simply retiring from the service and then almost immediately being elected to Congress. That does not happen unless the person has always been highly political and in Minnesota that would mean with the liberal Democrat Party. Waltz did not mistakenly claim that he was a combat veteran when he was not, he said that to try to embellish his military record for political purposes. Instead it was Waltz misleading the country again when he essentially said that a weapon of war, a semi-automatic rifle that he carried in war, should not be available for purchase and possession by law abiding citizens, as Waltz was never anywhere near a war when he was in the Minnesota National Guard. Now Vance is different, he was an enlisted US Marine, and all such Marines are considered to be infantry riflemen first and foremost, who deployed to Iraq during that war. It is without question that any US Marine or US Army Soldier on the ground in Iraq during that war could easily have lost his or her life by being blown up by explosive devices that were placed all over the country by the enemy on or near roads no matter if you were a infantryman or were doing some other military job. That’s the difference in those respects as I see them between; Waltz and Vance.

That’s her answer? We’re all supposed to ‘praise’ him even though he’s flat out lied about his rank and service? And what does ‘anyone who presents as military’ mean? Anyone who claims they were in combat should be believed? The truth is that either their vetting process was a major fail or they thought they’d get away with it. The Biden drones probably don’t care but the rest of America does. She won’t be winning over any Trump voters.

We need to hear from an expert on this, so some enterprising journalist could ask a decorated combat veteran and purple heart recipient, like JfnKerry, he was in Nam you know, for his thoughts!
