What to Know About Tim Walz’ 1995 Drunk Driving Charge

It’s an episode in his life that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz points to as the reason he stopped drinking. In 1995, Walz was a 31-year-old high school teacher living in Nebraska when he was pulled over for speeding, failed a sobriety test, and was arrested, according to court documents posted online two years ago by Alpha News, a conservative site based in Minnesota. He later pleaded guilty to reckless driving. 

Since that night, Walz has served with the Army National Guard, rising to the rank of command sergeant major, won six Congressional races, and was elected to two terms as Governor of Minnesota. And now, Vice President Kamala Harris has picked him to be her running mate. Soon after Walz’ name emerged on Harris’ shortlist, supporters of former President Donald Trump began sharing details of Walz' nearly 30-year-old DUI on social media.

Is it the Trump campaign’s position that Donald Trump should not be allowed to vote?😂

Trump’s Campaign Attacks Tim Walz for Allowing “Convicted Felons to Vote”

 

Trump’s campaign did not waste any time on Tuesday going after Kamala Harris’s newly announcedrunning mate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz. Though perhaps an extra beat or two might have given the team time to come up with a line of attack stronger than the one about letting convicted felons vote—which is a bit odd given the guy at the top of the GOP ticket!

Yes, in a statement released shortly after the Walz news was official, a spokesperson for Trump’s campaign condemned the governor for “embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote.” As a quick reminder, Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts last May, making him—you guessed it—a convicted felon.

Very strange that Walz shows up as a typo?

Can’t see real men of service slinging that kind of shade at poor Vance😂…

JD Vance’s Marine buddies back his service over his politics Critics call his about-face on Trump an affront to the military’s most basic values. His friends say attacks on his service are out of bounds.

 

 

If elected, Vance would become the first to serve at such a senior level from among the generation of men and women who went to war after 9/11. He spent four years in the Marines, from ages 18 to 23, deploying once to Iraq for six months in his capacity as a public affairs specialist, a job that entailed writing news releases, taking photos and interacting with journalists. He did not face combat. Vance’s rhetoric, however, has puzzled some who served with him, as he has shifted from a moderate Republican sharply critical of Trump just a few years ago to a hard line ally who has echoed the former president’s falsehoods about the 2020 election and made demeaning comments about “childless cat ladies” and prominent Democrats. Cullen Tiernan, who served with Vance, said he was not interested in assessing Vance’s statements about past elections, adding “a lot of this election chatter is looking backwards.” Asked if he intends to vote for his friend, Tiernan, who identifies as left-leaning, said he was undecided. “I love JD, I really want to vote for him, but it’ll take me some time to get there. I want to hear what Harris has to say,” he said. “I’m going to take my time and give it a lot of deep thought.”

Kamala Harris Campaign Mocks Donald Trump On His Own Social Media Platform

 

Kamala Harris campaign mocked Donald Trump on his own social media platform, comparing the number of attendees at the Democrat and Republican rallies on Truth Social

 

Harris' campaign has a verified account on the platform, and used it to post a jibe at Trump.

"Harris rally vs. @realDonaldTrump rally. Same arena in Philly," they posted on Tuesday, alongside two photos of Temple University's Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where both presidential candidates have recently held rallies.

 

One photo shows Harris and her newly announced running mate Tim Waltz on stage with the crowd filling the blue-decorated space. The second photo is a lot more blurry and appears to show Trump onstage during his rally with the top tier of seats empty, a visual that raised questions at the time.

 

The post was also shared on X by the Kamala Harris campaign on Wednesday, along with a quote of the post saying, "Yes, we posted this on Truth Social." The post has accumulated more than 1.7 million views and 61,000 likes.

The Real Reason Donald Trump Is Making Racist Comments About Kamala Harris

…this attack line against Harris wasn’t a slip of the tongue or a product of an undisciplined politician. Questioning the identity of Black politicians is what made Trump into a Republican darling, and later the party’s standard-bearer. 

“There are parallels between this and his attacks on Barack Obama,” said Donald Earl Collins, a critical race, gender and culture studies professor at American University. “It’s about going after voters who have problems with [candidates’] identities.” 

Trump infamously and baselessly claimed that Obama, who was born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and white American mother, was not an American and therefore ineligible to be president. He spent years rallying conservatives around the so-called “birtherism” theory, pushing for Obama to publicly release his long-form birth certificate. 

The fact that Trump was invited to NABJ, a space for Black journalists to connect and network, was controversial. During his interview with three prominent Black women journalists — Rachel Scott of ABC, Kadia Goba of Semafor and Harris Faulker of Fox News — he reportedly refused to be fact-checked, thus holding up the event. Trump relied on his same old talking points, yet called Scott “rude” and “nasty” for daring to ask him about his past comments. He lied about Democrats’ views of abortion and stumbled over questions about the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. 

And he used the fact that Harris is biracial to attack her.

Being mixed race is a simple concept, and according to 2020 census data, approximately 10% of Americans identified as having more than one race. So why is Trump acting like Harris’ identity is confusing or something she’s lying about?

“What Trump is attempting to say is, ‘She doesn’t meet your litmus test for being truly Black,’” Collins said.

I have said many times I identify as Black, for Reparations, and I may be nearly as Black as KK is. Who knows?

 

It would help if she released her percentage, if she does I will get tested and release mine. I found a good one for $89.
