'No evidence': Vance attack on Walz military service gets thorough fact-check
Raw StoryDonald Trump running mate Sen. J. D. Vance's attack on Gov. CNN analyst Tom Foreman Wednesday found a significant falsehood in Vance's attack on Vice President Kamala Harris' newly selected running mate and provided a notable piece of context. " "The claim that he was somehow dodging going over there after 24 years of service, saying 'Well I just don't want to go to combat,' there's just no evidence to back that up," Foreman said. But Foreman took issue with Walz' statement at a rally in Philadelphia Tuesday addressing gun control in the U.S., when he said, "We can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at." Foreman explained that the phrase "carried into war" has a very specific meaning among Military families that does not necessarily apply to Walz' tenure.
