Trump and Vance must be pretty scared of Tim Walz. In less than 24 hours, they are already degrading his 24 years of service in the National Guard.

Now, we don’t expect much out of Trump... “Bone spur deferment” Trump. “My sex life was ‘my personal Vietnam’” Trump. “I like people who weren’t captured” Trump. “Suckers” and “Losers” Trump.

But a guy like JD Vance, a Veteran himself, should know better than to attack another Veteran’s service, and it’s infuriating to see him stoop this low. We commend JD for his service in the Marines, even if it didn’t impart the respect for democracy, the Constitution, and his fellow Veterans that we would hope for.

But if they’re attacking Tim Walz after serving honorably for more than two decades, they’re attacking every Veteran’s service. And if they’re going to stoop that low, we’re going to push back. You can be damn sure it won’t go unanswered.

JD Vance is LYING, by saying Tim Walz retired to avoid a deployment to Iraq. The TRUTH is that Tim submitted his retirement request to the Guard months prior to the notification of their deployment. His request was approved. He retired as his battalion’s highest ranking enlisted man after 24 years of service, and his unit deployed fully staffed.

JD Vance is also lying by saying Tim is guilty of Stolen Valor over the last rank he attained — a serious charge. The TRUTH is that the Minnesota National Guard has formally emphasized in public statements that Tim Walz can be referred to as having been a Command Sergeant Major. That is the rank under which he served.

This kind of low-down, drag-out politics is par for the course for Trump and Vance. But the truth is, this isn’t something most organizations understand well enough to fight back against. Trump and Vance think they can lie about Tim’s service and get away with it. It’s up to VoteVets and our supporters to correct the record early and often, to make sure this BS from the MAGA-right doesn’t stick.

And it means we need your help.

So, if you’re with VoteVets, and if you’re firmly behind Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, chip in today to help VoteVets raise the resources we need to fight back against these lies from Trump, Vance, and the MAGA-right.
