JD Vance Shreds Left-Wing CNN Host Dana Bash For Defending Tim Walz

 Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) completely shutdown CNN’s Dana Bash during an interview over the weekend as she tried to defend Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s false claims about his record serving in the National Guard.

Vance made the remarks during a Sunday interview on the networks’ “State of the Union” while talking about Walz’s stolen valor and cowardliness in avoiding deploying to Iraq.

When Bash tried to claim that Walz did not know that his unit was deploying to Iraq when he put in his paperwork to quit, Vance noted that just a couple of days ago that Walz’s commanding officer told CNN that Walz did know that he was deploying when he submitted the paperwork.

“He knew he was going to Iraq. He decided to quit,” Vance noted. “He lied about that. He said that, when he decided to retire, he did not know that he was going to Iraq. That is another untruth, as even his senior military officer said. So, again, I’m not criticizing the service. I’m criticizing the dishonesty, dishonesty spoken in favor and for the purpose of political benefit.”

“And I think that the most important thing here, Dana, is, it goes to Kamala Harris’ judgment,” he continued. “Tim Walz is ultimately going to be the vice president — Kamala Harris is in great health, I’m sure she’s going to be president — if she wins for four or maybe even eight years. Why did Kamala Harris choose a person who has lied about their military service? I think that is a serious lapse in judgment.”

Bash tried to defend Walz by claiming that “a lot” of veterans have come out in support of Walz claiming that it was “untoward to be criticizing” him.

“Dana, I’m not interested in the ad hominem. I have heard from a lot of veterans groups who criticized Tim Walz,” Vance responded. “The question is, he said he served in war, and he didn’t. That is a dishonesty. I really — I couldn’t care less what one or the other person says about it. I care about what the truth is. The truth is that Tim Walz didn’t tell the truth.”

“And, importantly, Dana, this is about Kamala Harris’ judgment,” he continued. “And I think that when you ask, why has Kamala Harris allowed the border to be wide open, why has Kamala Harris supported policies that have promoted the increase in inflation, I think it goes to the heart of her judgment, and I think that that’s what we should be talking about.”
