Tim Walz's hilarious 1995 DUI arrest

The Walz train wreck is getting better by the minute. This is too funny.


Caught speeding at 40 MPH over the limit, Walz claimed he was doing 95 because he thought someone was chasing him! This was back in 1995.

Ten years later, while running for Congress in Minnesota, the issue of the DUI came up. walz's campaign manager Kerry Greeley told the Post Bulletin out of Rochester, Minnesota, that Walz wasn’t drunk. “He couldn’t understand what the officer was saying to him,” Greeley then claimed, saying Walz had suffered some kind of hearing loss from his time in the Army National Guard, the Post noted.

“He sped up to try to get away, fearing that somebody was after him. And he was deaf!"

Didn't his blood alcohol level register something like 0.128?

Watching that guy campaign is scray; dictator scary. He comes off as an ngry man that lets nothing and no one stand in his way; a real tyrant personlity.

I see lots of infighting and backstabbing if they make it to the WH, and Harris is not a strong enough person to stand up to the likes of him.

75 years of people reading tells me this guy is bad news; really, really bad news.

Lots of politicians have had DUIs.
That's not the issue here.
The fact that he was doing 95 mph in a 55 zone, then lied his ass off proves what a jerk he is.

Yea, turns out he a convict. whodathunkit.

good news is, Harris "knows his type".

You all realize that about 90% of the midwest can relate to exactly what he did...it endears him to the populace out here. So yeah, he must be aweful bc he got a DUI and did what anyone does. You understand he won a congressional seat in his district the same year Trump won that district? That's a real problem for the right, the everyday righties like him.

What I find fun about all this, isn't that he had a DUI. Meh Idiot that is lucky he didn't hurt someone.

But....
You claimed some type of hearing loss, from your military time?
With his continued BS of Military time, that he keeps claiming, like carrying a weapon of war, IN war, has he ever brought up hearing loss again? You would think that would be a big deal and in his paperwork, right?

I wanna know who vetted this guy? I actually feel sorry for whoever it was, once ole Kamala gets ahold of them.
Cause people are not happy about his military claims.

Yes, I totally get it. I wouldn't even have said a word about it, except for that one nagging little thing being said about Trump and his 34 felonies, for his accountant marking the expenditure as legal fees when he payed his lawyer. If the idiot left hadn't used that to label Trump a felon, none of that would matter. But since they/you did, then explaining that Waltz is also a felon is totally fair game. Just playing by your rules.

The month was October in the year 2000, news had just come out about Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush prior DUI charges.

He went on to win the presidency days later.

History shows voters don't care about DUI's dug up from the past.

But they are way interested in accounting practices it seems.

Then there's Ted Kennedy and the Chappaquiddick Incident, but that's a story for another time.

Did he lie?

Walz specialized in heavy artillery and had proficiency ribbons in sharpshooting and hand grenades.

But during the 21 years that Walz spent working with large artillery pieces, he suffered hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears, Minnesota Public Radio reported. He was allowed to continue his service after undergoing surgery, which partially resolved his hearing loss.

ETA:

In late 2002, he was ordered to appear before a medical retention board about the hearing impairment. After waiting for a decision for months, he was given clearance to serve out the remaining years of his final six-year enlistment.

Medical records show that in 2005 Walz underwent stapedectomy surgery, a procedure in which damaged bones inside the ear are replaced with a prosthesis. He said it has improved his hearing.

Did he lie?

How was he able to teach school if he had a severe hearing loss? He claimed he literally could not hear the state trooper that pulled him over. But he was teaching school and coaching football.

So...the guy has stolen valor, evading a police officer
during a DUI chase, his wife loved the burning smell
of the city they governed.

What deviants!

Nah, thats too nice.

Cretans ...more like it.

Weird guy.

Weird that people defend him too.

IDK, maybe he used hearing aids.

Do you think the VA would approve surgery on his ears if he wasn't having problems? Or, do you think his medical records were falsified?
