Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has already come under fire for lying about going to war when he never did, and now that he's been caught lying again, his integrity is diluted and almost nonexistent.
When he began his campaign for Congress in 2006, Walz boasted in his resume that he had been named an “Outstanding Young Nebraskan” by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.
“That was nice,” comments Pat Gray of Pat Gray Unleashed, “but it's just not true.”
“According to the article, it was a little lie about a little honor,” he continues.
The Nebraska Outstanding Young Person award is apparently still visible in an archived version of his campaign website, but it's still not true. The president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce also sent a letter of opposition to Walz.
He was quoted as saying: “I was made aware that as part of your campaign for U.S. Congress you posted a biography on your website claiming to have received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for your contributions to the business community. I have looked into this matter and can confirm that you have not received any awards from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.”
The Chamber of Commerce had actually endorsed Gil Gutknecht, the opponent of Walz, the Republican incumbent who had held the seat since 1995.
Walz's campaign manager said Walz had in fact won an award from the Junior Chamber of Commerce and that the mistake was a “typographical error.”
“This fits into a pattern of misleading and fabricated statements that he has made throughout his political and personal life,” Gutknecht, who lost to Walz in 2006, told the Washington Free Beacon that year.
“He lies like a total communist,” Gray said, noting that Waltz also lied about benefiting from IVF.
“The excuse the campaign used at the time was, 'Well, Governor Walz was just talking like a normal person would talk. He was using a commonly understood shorthand for fertility treatments,'” Gray continued, adding, “No, that's a lie the governor used there.”
