As RedState reported, the speech given by Kamala Harris’ vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, during the Democrat National Convention Wednesday night was twenty minutes worth of lies and stolen valor.
Mixed into the speech were the continued bizarre attacks on GOP vice presidential nominee and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) for having the nerve to make something of himself instead of staying poor and uneducated by at one point attending Yale, even though a number of Democrat politicos including some who have appeared on stage in Chicago this week also claim the same distinction of attending Ivy League schools like Yale.
“Now I grew up in Butte, Nebraska, a town of 400 people. I had 24 kids in my high school class. And none of them went to Yale,” Walz snidely proclaimed at one point during his remarks.

Not surprisingly, though Walz came off as the fibteller he is in his address to the delegates, there was an obscene amount of oohing and ahhing coming from the Twitter/X page of Chris Cillizza, a former CNN editor-in-chief who after being laid off started his own newsletter – where he sounds just like he did when he “reported” for CNN.
Incredibly, this was his hot take on Walz’s speech:
1/ I didn’t really *get* the Tim Walz thing before last night. I knew of him when he was a Congressman. And when he got elected governor. But the political world never touted him as a rising star. Not “someone to watch.” So, I underestimated him…
2/ When Kamala Harris picked Walz, I thought it was a mistake. Josh Shapiro made much more sense in terms of raw political considerations.
3/ But what Walz has — and it’s rare in politics these days — is that he’s totally comfortable in his own skin. He knows who he is. He’s authentic. And he doesn’t try to be someone else. And authenticity is the coin of the realm. He oozes it.
4/ Do I think that Walz is going to get Harris elected? No. She will do that. Or she won’t. People vote on the top of the ticket. But I totally SEE why Walz made sense as the pick now. I guess Kamala Harris knew what she was doing more than I did 😂😂😂
He “oozes authenticity”? “Doesn’t try to be someone else”? Like on what planet does Cillizza live? As my colleague Brad Slager explained, there is not much if anything that is authentic about Walz:
Look at all of the controversies surrounding the Minnesota governor since his announcement, and you see the signs. All are rooted in fact, but Tim had to push things to a higher level. His war record is the obvious one, where he served two dozen years but needed to embellish his service as well as a claimed rank one higher than that earned. He is touted as the coach taking his team to State, when he was an assistant in charge of the D-line. Even the birth of his kids through medical insemination had to be inflated to invitro fertilization for political expediency.
Not to mention his “mind your own business” hypocrisy, where he says Republicans shouldn’t try to get between a woman and her doctor but had no problem putting draconian lockdowns in place during the Covid pandemic:
Tim Walz has lied about so many things in his career that it’s hard to keep track of them all. He’s also repeating an unbelievably hypocritical “mind your own business” line after he did the opposite during COVID
He’s one of the least “authentic” people in US politics https://t.co/UsboeahTFE

This man is lying about his military record, the way his children were conceived, his DUI for going 90 in a 55 in his 30s just to name a few. He’s even been caught lying about simple phone calls he’s claimed to have made.
What??? https://t.co/zhBWAlLS4K

So despite the best efforts of conservative/independent writers to get the word out about who Tim Walz really is behind the carefully crafted facade, why do the “folksy” and “authentic” myths about him persist?
Walz only gets away with creating a false persona because corrupt media shills like Cilliza don’t just allow it — they heap Orwellian praise on him for being authentic. Simply incredible.

Incredible and yet nauseatingly predictable, because gaslighting is one of the things the MSM does best – especially in presidential election years where they pull out all the stops. Remember this is the same media that told us up until Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance in late June that he was fine, and that his critics were pushing “cheap fakes” (altered/out-of-context video clips) that supposedly didn’t show the full picture.
These people have lost the trust of most of the American public for a reason, and I daresay there is nothing they will be able to do to get it back at this point, because they are simply too far gone.
