CNN correspondent Tom Foreman fact-checked claims about Walz’s military record that same day, recalling, "Walz did make a comment, speaking to a group — he’s done it a couple of times, where he has used language that suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation."
Walz was seen in a video shared by the Harris campaign on Wednesday where he declared at a campaign event, "We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at."
"There is a difference between being in a combat area, being involved in a time of war, and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you," he said, adding there "is no evidence that at any time Governor Walz was in the position of being shot at, and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was. So that is absolutely false when he said that about gun rights out there."
The correspondent also said the campaign had come forward to say that Walz would never want to purposely mislead people about this. Foreman noted such a response is "what campaigns tend to say."
But if they say he didn't mean to purposefully mislead, there is a treasure trove of evidence to bury that "mea culpa". Walz has been doing this for a long time and finally got caught. Period. This will dog their campaign for a long time.
