Walz Distributed Coins With Fake Rank


A challenge coin distributed by Governor Tim Walz reveals he inflated his military rank, raising questions about his long-standing claims of higher service credentials.

A recently revealed image of a challenge coin distributed by Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) during his time as a congressman shows him displaying a higher military rank than he actually earned, suggesting that his rank inflation was more than just a misstatement.

The image, shared on a podcast hosted by a drill sergeant, shows a coin bearing Walzโ€™s name and the insignia of a Command Sergeant Major, an E-9 rank in the Army. The podcast host told Breitbart News that the photo was taken by a soldier who received the coin from then-Congressman Walz and shared it with him.

For nearly two decades, Walz has claimed to be a retired Command Sergeant Major, despite military records showing he retired as a Master Sergeant, a lower rank of E-8. A journalist from the Daily Wire confirmed the coinโ€™s legitimacy, and an X user found another post corroborating the authenticity of the image.

Facing scrutiny over the discrepancy, the Harris-Walz campaign altered Walzโ€™s biography to reflect his true rank. Although Walz was conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major, he never completed the necessary requirements and retired before his unit deployed to Iraqโ€”a deployment he was aware of, according to his former division commander, Doug Julin.

The campaign also addressed a separate controversy where Walz claimed in 2018 to have carried weapons โ€œin war,โ€ despite never deploying to a combat zone, attributing the statement to a โ€œmisspeak.โ€

If authentic, the challenge coin demonstrates that Walz knowingly misrepresented his military rank while serving as a congressman.
