In a heated exchange at a hearing, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) confronted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz concerning prior claims of his military service. Stauber criticized Walz for allegedly misrepresenting his experience, specifically claiming weapons carried in war while serving in the National Guard, which Walz later admitted was a mistake. The confrontation intensified over accusations of 'stolen valor,' particularly because Stauber’s wife is an Iraq War veteran. The incident follows backlash against Walz from a viral video where he discusses his service regarding gun control.
You said that you carried weapons in war! That is stolen valor! I'm so disgusted with you and so are the people that you served with!
You know I misspoke. You know I misspoke. I'll tell you what, governor, you're barking down the wrong tree!
