Radical Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has yet again been caught inflating his credentials and misrepresenting his background.
Walz, the leftist governor of Minnesota, has already come under scrutiny for lying about his military record.
However, according to a new report by the Washington Free Beacon, Walz has also made false claims about his alleged connections to Harvard.
The report cites archived data from Walz’s 2006 congressional campaign website, highlighting several instances where Walz’s claims did not match public records or verified information.
Among the contentious claims, Walz purportedly stated on his campaign site that he was named the “Outstanding Young Nebraskan” by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.
Walz also fabricated an affiliation with a Harvard-led teaching program in China.
As Slay News reported, Walz frequently visited Communist China during his time as a teacher.
One of his former students revealed that Walz “adores” communism and greatly admires China’s former Chairman Mao Zedong.
Walz’s biography indicated that he taught in China through a program offered by Harvard.
However, further scrutiny reveals that these claims might be overstatements as evidence disputes the links.
Additionally, Walz claimed that his military service included carrying “weapons of war” in combat and retiring as a “command sergeant major.”
Yet, records show he retired as a Master Sergeant.
Walz’s involvement with the WorldTeach program, which he linked to Harvard, was a central point of contention.
The program was indeed initiated by Harvard students in 1986.
However, it operated independently as a non-profit and was not affiliated with Harvard University.
According to the report, WorldTeach had funding from a Harvard association and its operations were housed under Harvard’s Center for International Development at times.
Nevertheless, it was not a Harvard University program as Walz had suggested.
This misrepresentation has sparked significant discussion and criticism on social media platforms.
It comes amid growing questions about Walz’s honesty and integrity.
Comments from notable figures and the general public on social media have amplified the scrutiny on Walz.
Donald Trump Jr. expressed his outrage on X.
Trump Jr. is accusing Walz of fabricating his Harvard connection.
An unidentified user sarcastically noted the frequency of Walz’s alleged fabrications, suggesting they were plentiful enough to have significant financial value.
Matthew Boyle, the Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief, described Walz as a “pathological liar.”
Boyle criticized Walz’s tendency to falsify achievements unnecessarily.
The implications of these allegations could be far-reaching for Walz, especially given his current role in the national political landscape as Kamala Harris’s running mate.
With the vice-presidential campaign in full swing, the veracity of Walz’s claims and his credibility are under intense scrutiny.
As fabrications continue to emerge. it would potentially impact voter trust and Walz’s effectiveness on the campaign trail.
As the story unfolds, further investigations and public discussions are likely to continue, shaping the narrative of Walz’s political journey and the upcoming election.
Walz has still not addressed the stolen valor scandal, despite the backlash.
