In an interview that will broadcast today, Megyn Kelly speaks to four members of the Minnesota National Guard who served with Tim Walz.
In an explosive series of highlights from the interview, none of the men hold back in their condemnation of Kamala Harris’s vice-president pick.
One veteran said that Walz’s behaviour in the Guard was “morally indefensible” and that Walz simply “didn’t care” about the men he was tasked with leading.
Another veteran describes the reaction to the news that Walz had decided to retire from his position as command sergeant major on the eve of his batallion’s deployment to Iraq in 2004.
“The rumor went across the state that he had quit, and it was like, ‘Who the hell does that?’ I mean, it was just unbelievable that a CSM abandoned his troops. You know, five hundred soldiers, basically. But beyond that there’s a thousand parents out there that expect that person to lead those people into combat.”
“If you sold out your Guard unit and abandoned them, what are you going to do at the national level?” the veteran added.
The veteran who described Walz’s behaviour as “morally indefensible” also called him a “habitual liar” who “lies about stuff that doesn’t even make sense,” and then went on to label Walz a coward.
“Fear is a reaction; bravery is a decision. And Walz has made the wrong decision. He’s not brave. I call him a coward—because he is.”
Tim Walz has faced devastating accusations regarding his two-decade service in the Minnesota National Guard, including that he lied about his retirement rank, claimed to have served overseas in a warzone when he never did, and, perhaps most damaging of all, that he abandoned his battalion when they were due to deploy to Iraq.
The former commander of Walz’s batallion in the Minnesota National Guard, John Kolb, wrote a long post about the Minnesota governor on Facebook, describing him as a poor leader and a coward.
“I do not regret that Tim Walz retired early from the Minnesota Army National Guard, did not complete the Sergeants Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract or did not successfully complete any assignment as a Sergeant Major. Unwittingly, he got out of the way for better leadership.
“Thomas Behrends was the right leader at the right time. He sacrificed to answer the call, leaving his family, business and farming-partner brother to train, lead and care for soldiers. He earned the privilege of being called Command Sergeant Major. Like a great leader he ran toward and not away from the guns.”
Megyn Kelly’s interview will air at 12pm EST today on Sirius XM and will later be available on other platforms including YouTube.
