Walz Lies

Click through the link for a pretty good story about Walz lies. The man lies about everything. His military service, his arrest, his time in China, his coaching, his record as governor… everything. He’s the drunk at the end of the bar. He’s the 50-year-old unemployed uncle who lives with grandma. He’s a fraud and shame on the Minnesota media for being so uninterested in truth as to allow him to lie his way to the governorship.

In isolation, the exaggeration of Walz’s coaching resume – pushed by his political allies and notably never corrected by the man himself – is surely harmless.

However, when taken in the context of a litany of other exaggerations and untruths about Walz’s life that have emerged since Harris named his as her VP pick in August, it is little wonder that many are beginning to ask if the Minnesota Governor has a problem with the truth.

 

And, as he prepares to take on his Republican counterpart, J.D. Vance, in tonight’s televised vice presidential debate on CBS, there will no doubt be a lingering nervousness among the Harris-Walz campaign over what Vance might say about his opponent’s trustworthiness.

House Investigates Chronic Fraud in Walz’s Administration

The fraud was massive and undeniable. The question is what did Walz know and when did he know it?

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was subpoenaed by the House Education Committee on Wednesday as part of the GOP lawmakers’ latest investigation into the Democratic presidential ticket, probing into an issue that has long been Walz’s kryptonite: child nutrition programs.

A Minnesota-based nonprofit, Feeding Our Future, is accused of misusing $250 million of taxpayer dollars from a COVID-19 relief fund intended to feed children in need.

Walz has not shied away from addressing the largest pandemic relief fraud in the nation, which happened right under his nose.

 

At a press conference in August, before being picked by Harris, Walz addressed his administration’s lack of fraud prevention and a scathing legislative audit that called the MDE’s oversight “inadequate.”

 

“I think what you’re seeing is if you commit fraud in Minnesota, you are going to be caught as you are going to go to prison,” Walz said. He pointed to administrative changes and safeguards to prevent future fraud, such as implementing an inspector general for the MDE.

 

The federal government charged over 70 defendants, five of whom have been convicted of fraud, while the rest await trial.

 

Feeding our Future benefited from the child nutrition program designed to aid hungry children during the pandemic, as schools and care facilities were shut down. Prosecutors allege Feeding our Future submitted fake names of children to the Department of Education to receive funds.

 

Walz and the other officials subpoenaed have until Sept. 18 to release the documents requested.
