    "I'm proud of that work because, look, I was the football coach," he said.

    No, Gov Walz. You were not THE coach. You were AN assistant coach.

    Maybe she picked him because he reminds her of Joe.

      He never explicitly says we had IVF, but it's certainly implied.

      Uh, no Governor. You did NOT have children through IVF.

        Update on the lies that Tim Walz has told:

        • Being an Afghan veteran
        • Being a command sgt major
        • Conceiving his children through IVF
        • Knowing his unit was being deployed
        • Carrying weapons into war
        • Being a head football coach
        • Lying about being deaf to get out of a DUI

          I'm just picking one and looking into it, where did Walz say he was a head football coach? He was a coach of a football team. Does this mean the rest of your list is made up? BTW don't forget Trump had over 30,000 documented lies between 2017-2021. That's a lot of bullet points.

            I can imagine saying IVF is personal to you because you had fertility challenges so you relate to others that do too. Did he ever claim his kids were the result of IVF?

            Thank you for your attention to this matter.

              Plus if he said IVF but really did IUI, most people don't know what IUI is but know what IVF is. IUI is like the JV version of IVF btw. Most couples who do IVF usually do a round or two of IUI first.

                No, but he and his wife did undergo fertility treatments and he brought it up in the context of IVF. It's sorta like saying you carried a weapon of war (when you didn't go to war). The words aren't there, but the implication is. That's the definition of weasely.

                And the DNC still introduced him as Command Sgt Major the other day.

                        AFAIK, he never did. But, just like the other weasely things, he said he "coached a football team." Campaign literature showing "Coach Walz."

                        He was a volunteer, unpaid, coach.

                        Again, what he said was not really a lie, but the impression....

                          Not to play defense, but we used IUI and IVF (for our first kid) and I can tell you 90% of the time when the topic comes up with friends or family we just summarize it all as "we used IVF" since it takes some time to describe how IUI is different. So I can see why they wouldn't specify IUI in the mailer.

                            I get your point, but the misinformation impression I find your list is the same as his approach. Now I can't trust George's lists! 😞

                              Yeah, but...As a politician, he knows that words mean things. IVF and IUI are different. Sergeant Major and Command Sergeant Major are different. Head coach and assistant coach are different. Europe and Iraq are different.

                                I really love the scrutiny here. It's nice to see an appreciation for the truth, finally. (30,573 lies in 4 years)

                                He WAS a command sergeant major, and most clips have him saying "I was a command sergeant major" which is accurate.

                                Yes there are a few clips where he (or normally, someone else says to him) "you are a retired command sergeant major" which is not accurate since he retired at as a sergeant major.

                                  That's like being a general, and being busted down to a major and saying "I was a general."

                                  Or like me saying "I'm a New Yorker."

                                  One can be factual without being completely truthful.

                                  Yes there are a few clips where he (or normally, someone else says to him) "you are a retired command sergeant major" which is not accurate since he retired at as a sergeant major.

                                  And...he didn't dispute it.

                                    I really love the scrutiny here. It's nice to see an appreciation for the truth, finally. (30,573 lies in 4 years)

                                    He WAS a command sergeant major, and most clips have him saying "I was a command sergeant major" which is accurate.

                                      That's like being a general, and being busted down to a major and saying "I was a general."

                                        I was Brad Pitt when I got married. I'll retire Rowan Atkinson, though.

                                          No it's just a chuckle that suddenly now you all care about being truthful. Trump tells more lies in one day than Walz in a decade.
