    The two weirdos are going down. Eyeliner, makeup, and all.
  • Can someone please point me to the video where Walz says he carried a gun in a war zone. I have to fact check because you can't just trust tweedle D and tweedle V
  • @robgronsky4466
    He never said he was in a war zone, he said he carried a weapon in a war which he did during Operation Enduring Freedom. Vance never carried a weapon in the 6 months he was in Iraq.
  • He spent 24 years in the army national guard and Trump dodged the draft.
  • @robertl9065
    Vance was journalist for the marines. He worked a desk. Lol Trump dodged service.

  • Walz served for 24 YEARS! Vance served for 4 years. What exactly is Vance’s point??????
  • @MCorleo
    When veterans denigrate the honorable service of other veterans, everyone loses. The simple fact is that if you're on this side of the dirt, there's always someone else who has given more than you. I'm proud to have two VP candidates who both served.
  • @davemathews7890
    As a fellow drag queen, I'd be happy to tell Vance where he's going wrong applying his eyeliner. DeSantis ignored our advice about avoiding elevator cowboy boots and look where he ended up.
  • @mitchyoung93
    This reporting leaves out that he along with his entire unit received a "warning order" that they were going to be called up for Iraq at which point Walz decided to retire even though he had two more years on his enlistment
  • @kc46-s5i
    Sounds like JD Vance is having a "mine is longer than yours" issue. Seriously, that dude is....
  • @ClubhouseCrime
    Walz was deployed in Italy as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, where I'm sure he was issued a weapon. A weapon he didn't want to see on the streets. He never said he saw combat. I get why you're salty, but no. You didn't see combat either. You were a Corespondent.
  • @notanomad9320
    Try interviewing the people who were serving with Walz at the time and see what they think. Isn't that the job of the media?
  • @dstarrII8442
    Neither JD Vance nor, Donald Trump have any respect for military service!!!😡
  • @sweetsgourmet
    Like...just stay away from people's military service. It never goes well.
  • @TyStyckify
    "It's hard to be humble when you're a marine" What a clueless bozo!
  • @adairrawley4738
    Walz deployed with the Minnesota National Guard in August 2003 to Vicenza, Italy, as part of support for the US war in Afghanistan, according to a Minnesota Guard spokesperson...Coach Walz is telling the truth

    Who at this moment is on his knees kissing the ring of a Draft Dodger.
