Dem Senator: I'm Not Aware of Any Record of Military Service From JD Vance

Sarah will have more on how Tampon Timmy ran off like a scared wombat when his unit got deployed to Iraq later today, but if Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) wants to be a good surrogate, she can’t come off like this. Smith came off like an avid watcher of ABC's The View: dumb and uninformed while pounding white wine. While comparing records, the Minnesota Democrat said she wasn’t aware of any military service done by JD Vance, a former Marine who served in the Iraq War.

Let's see how much coverage this gets on the evening newscasts tonight. https://t.co/EpYdWd88am

In 2005, Tim Walz abruptly quit the Army National Guard to run for Congress right before his unit was deployed to Iraq.

The Guardsman who took his place told @AlphaNewsMN in 2022 that Walz said he would be going on the deployment before leaving them.

CNN’s Jim Acosta did something right: he corrected Smith on-air, saying Vance is a former US Marine.

Top Harris surrogate @TinaSmithMN: I'm not aware of any military service that @JDVance has ever served.

The 'records' talk is laughably ridiculous, as we’re comparing Harris’ record of unremarkability with that of a former president and Walz's weirdo leftism with that of Vance coming out of poverty, serving his country, and obtaining the American Dream.
