Walz, who was born and raised in Nebraska and enlisted in the Nebraska National Guard at seventeen, falsely claimed he had been named “Outstanding Young Nebraskan” by the Nebraska Chamber of Congress.
After the chamber’s president sent a scathing letter to the Walz campaign a few days before the 2006 election, the campaign blamed a typographical error and claimed the award actually came from the Nebraska Junior Chamber of Commerce: In early 2006, when Walz ran for the U.S. House of Representatives, his campaign website stated that he had received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his contributions to the business community.
Kamala Harris’ vice presidential running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) was caught in another misrepresentation during his 2006 run for Congress, Alpha News reported Friday.
Walz’s website was later updated, replacing “Nebraska Chamber of Commerce” with the “Nebraska Junior Chamber of Commerce.” His campaign manager at the time called the flub a “typographical error,” according to a 2006 Rochester Post Bulletin report.
Walz has been called out for lying about his retirement rank in the National Guard, falsely claiming to have served in war, allowing others to falsely claim he served in a war zone, lying about the timing of his retirement as his unit was put on notice of a deployment to Iraq, lying about his DUI arrest and lying that he children were conceived via IVF when they were actually conceived with Intrauterine insemination.
This claim was refuted by Barry L. Kennedy, then-president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, who confirmed in a letter that Walz had never been the recipient of any such award.
“We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce,” Kennedy wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Alpha News.
