A report from CNN acknowledges that Kamala Harris’ VP-pick Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) repeatedly lied about his 1995 drunk driving arrest during his run for Congress.
Walz was pulled over by a Nebraska trooper for going 96 mph in a 55 mph speed zone on September 23, 1995. After the officer smelled alcohol on Walz’s breath, Walz took a field sobriety test and a blood-alcohol test — and failed both. Walz spent the night behind bars and later admitted that he was driving drunk, court records show.

While running for Congress, however, Walz’s campaign repeatedly claimed that the Democrat had not been drinking, but was pulled over and failed the field sobriety test because of alleged hearing loss he suffered from his time serving in the National Guard.
