GOP Rep. Mike Waltz criticized CNN host Brianna Keilar Wednesday for 'defending' Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's military record rather than questioning it.
Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., told CNN host Brianna Keilar she should be questioning Gov. Tim Walz's, D-Minn., claims about his military record 'rather than defending' him Wednesday. The 'CNN News Central' host questioned Waltz Wednesday about a letter he and 50 Republican veterans in Congress penned to the Democratic vice presidential candidate about his 'egregious misrepresentations.
Keilar conceded Walz needed to answer questions regarding his military record but continued to push back against Waltz’s attacks. 'I don’t know if it’s worth burning down 24 years of service,' Keilar said. 'I wish he would sit down instead of me or JD Vance and answer those questions. The American people deserve it. The veterans' community certainly deserve it,' Waltz said.
In a country where so few shoulder the burden, military service should not be a liability, it should be an asset,' Keilar said. 'And despite our recent years as a country at war, many service members haven't seen combat. That doesn't make them or their service less admirable, or less necessary. Nor does retiring from the National Guard after 24 years.
