JD Vance Has Hissy Fit Over CNN Calling Him Out For Attacking Walz' Military Service

With no remorse or trepidation, Trump, his MAGA cult in the media, horribly swiftboated Gov. Tim Walz's military record as soon as he became the vice presidential nominee.

JD Vance, who served as a war correspondent for the Marines in Iraq for six months thought it was a great tactic to smear the twenty-four year service record of Tim Walz.

CNN's Brianna Keilar, whose husband is a Green Beret, was not thrilled with attacking any person's military service and this put Vance's knickers in a bunch.

You know, one of the things I think is, at what point did military service become a liability?

You know, that's one of the things that's sort of on my mind as I look at this.

I also think that J.D. Vance, as a messenger on this, may be an imperfect messenger, because we have, as you introduced him, as a combat correspondent, which was what his title was.

But when you dig a little deeper into that, he was a public affairs specialist, someone who did not see combat, which certainly the title, combat correspondent, kind of gives you a different impression. So he may be the imperfect messenger on that.

But at the same time, then you have this argument going on where it seems to be, did you really serve your country unless you were shot at a lot? And I just think that's a very kind of gross place to be, because there is so much service and sacrifice that goes on in the military.
