Tim Walz Backtracks: ‘Misspoke’ About Using Weapons ‘In War’
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s campaign has walked back a statement that the Minnesota governor made in 2018 in which he claimed to have carried guns “in war” during a speech advocating for gun control measures.
“We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at,” Walz said in the recently unearthed clip, according to NBC.
The clean-up comes after Republicans have launched several attacks on Walz this week for the way he has portrayed his service record and his decision to run for congress in the months before his Army National Guard unit was tapped to deploy to Iraq.
