Well, this is bad about Walz. I don't think it changes the election

Yeah, that's not good. I wonder about his 30 visits to China, as this leans more to character issues.

no way we can trust people who have worked overseas

everyone who leaves the US obviously has character issues

no need to think further

The one where he made a mistake, overcame it and is a great example to other people who are still drinking and driving.

Sorry if that hurts and that you guys are flaccid in your attempts to attack him (and that voters genuinely like the guy).

That must suck for MAGAs.

Strange you didn’t actually answer the question. Hmm. Wonder why.

Walz was teaching high school, age 31. He went drunk driving at 96 MPH. He got caught. Years later running for office, his campaign lied like crazy about it, making excuses involving his service. That's all despicable and suggests a character issue at the times. I think it deserves condemnation, and that it doesn't much affect the election.

Well he didn't kill anyone, so that's good I guess. Step ahead of Ted Kennedy.

At this point, while it is a serious offense, it's 30 years ago and it doesn't appear to have been repeated.

Walz made a mistake, paid the penalty for it, learned from it, and didn't do it again. End of story.

Walz made a mistake. Made additional mistakes by lying about it. Paid the penalty for it. Learned from it. Didn't do it again. End of story.

for those us who are fortunate enough to have been adults 30 years ago

Would you repeat every decision you made back then?

I've become a better person over time.
I hope y'all have too

in 2006 apparently

per article in the OP

But in 2006, his campaign repeatedly told the press that he had not been drinking that night, claiming that his failed field sobriety test was due to a misunderstanding related to hearing loss from his time in the National Guard. The campaign also claimed that Walz was allowed to drive himself to jail that night.​
None of that was true.​

A campaign aide lied about it. Not Walz. Right?

Not good, but he still looks like a choir boy next to the convicted felon espionage traitor with 3 more criminal trials to go who cannot tell the truth about anything and the entire country knows it.

lulz
"My campaign is a rogue operation I have zero control over."
that's weaksauce


from the article in the OP
"his campaign repeatedly told the press"​

It wasn't a one time thing where some nervous young aide was unexpectedly put on the spot and blurted out some bullshit

Straw man. I agree that would be weaksauce. Which is why I didn't say that, at all.

So, we agree that there is no quote of Walz himself lying about the DUI arrest? Cool.

Does it? If we can have a presidential candidate who has business interests in China and has paid taxes to the Chinese government, we're probably ok with someone who's visited China, provided those visits were on the up and up.
