It's Walz

It's just hilarious you all ignore 20 clear lies per day from one guy, but analyze the inference of something another guy said 10 years ago that he self-corrected in the 2nd half of his sentence. He said May, he implied July/August (August being accurate). Trump says something like "the President hasn't called the governor of Georgia" which is a pure lie... but it's ok because his mean tweets are part of his charm.

Walz is your father-in-law, isn’t he?

Well. Since we know that Trump’s 20 lies a day are really 4 lies a day that he repeats 5 times… The numbers get my a little closer. And I’d rather have the guy that lies over his status or wealth than the guy that says quite honestly to him that socialism is just being neighborly…
Face it, it’s last call and the options are going home with Aqua’s sister, who put on about 250 and smells a little like ham that’s been sitting out for 4 hours, or being taken home by Bubba, who is 350 pounds, has just got back from 5 years in solitary confinement, and is all out of lube.

LOL the last part made me chuckle.
Walz isn't my FIL, nor am I a fan of his policies. I'm just flabbergasted with the dissection of a statement he makes 10 years ago to find something that is technically untrue. It's like criticizing someone who tried pot once in college while voting for El Chapo to set an example for the kids.

No, it's more like this.
"I was in New Jersey when Al-Qaeda attacked the United States. A lot of people were really upset...
oops...
I mean, I was in New Jersey in December."
One tends to remember world-changing events and where one was. I remember exactly where I was standing when I heard the first report of 9/11 - I'm sure you do. I was 10 years old, and I remember where I was sitting in 5th grade class when I heard about JFK, and that was ⅔ of a century ago. I remember where I was when Reagan was shot.
I can get a simple slip of the memory, but for big shit, nah...
So, ask yourself, why yet another exaggeration?

No, a more accurate comparison to what Walz said (which was he was in Hong Kong in May and people were upset he went after the massacre), would be:
"I was in New York in August 2001, and people were upset I was there to teach after those twin towers fell."
Which is the important point. The month, or the point that he went despite the tragedy that had happened?

Politico: "Walz has a tendency to misspeak."
Tim Walz has a problem misspeaking.
Since being tapped as Kamala Harris’ running mate, the folksy, plain-speaking Minnesota governor has had to explain a growing number of inaccurate statements — and at times embellishments — about his past. They range from comments about his military service to his visit to Hong Kong more than three decades ago to clarifying that his family didn’t specifically use in vitro fertilization.
It’s unclear whether Walz’s verbal errors will undercut his credibility with voters. But the need to continually clean up those claims could politically hurt Walz and Harris, who are locked in a tight race with Donald Trump and JD Vance. And in some cases, key members of Harris’ circle weren’t aware of some of the inaccurate statements until they became public despite the vetting process, according to four people familiar with the conversations who were granted anonymity to discuss the matter.
Even Walz admits he "misspoke."
The most recent example came Tuesday, when a CBS debate moderator pressed Walz over his claim that he had been in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, when Hong Kong was still under British rule (Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997). Walz over the years had said publicly he had been in Hong Kong during the crackdown in Beijing, including 10 years ago in Congress.
But on Tuesday during the debate, he awkwardly responded that “all I said on this was, is, I got there that summer,” and “I’m a knucklehead at times” before conceding he “misspoke.”
Walz’s misstatements could contradict the image that the campaign has painted of him as an upstanding, everyday Midwest guy.
"Misspeaking." Funny when other politicians do the same thing another word is used.

Another misstatement by the self-acknowledged "knucklehead."

Walz claimed that the paid family leave law he signed in 2023 had business support, many prominent business groups in the state opposed it at the time.
The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce[ slammed thedraft legislation as part of an "anti-employer, anti-business agenda."
Maybe it was the Junior Chamber of Commerce that supported it? :man-shrugging:

If it weren’t for double standards…
