The Mainstream Media Keeps Failing to Correct False Democrat Claim that Vance Didn’t Serve in Military

JD Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, has been a target of intense media scrutiny and criticism from the Left. As a working-class American who rose to success, Vance brings a unique perspective to the campaign. However, the media has frequently attempted to discredit him, often portraying him in a negative light to undermine his credibility.

They fail to do the same for Harris’ pick, Tim Walz—a far-left socialist who has lied about his military service.

Democrats have launched a series of attacks on Vance, attempting to paint him as unfit for political office. These attacks have ranged from questioning his political beliefs to misrepresenting his statements and background. And it seems, the Left is so blinded by hate—they didn’t even know the most important part of Vance’s career. The liberal media actually had to fact-check Democrats while they tried to bash him.

From Daily Wire:
During a recent appearance on CNN…Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) praised Walz for his service in the National Guard… Anchor Jim Acosta let her carry on uninterrupted until she asserted that she was unaware of any military service on Vance’s resume…

A similar scene played out on MSNBC between anchor Andrea Mitchell and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as Mitchell pointed out the fact that Vance had criticized Walz for over-inflating his military experience.

Democrats Caught Spreading Slander

Several Democrats from Congress tried to spin Tim Walz’s time in the National Guard. They ignored the fact that he dropped out of the service before his unit was shipped to Iraq. Walz never served in a combat situation—even though he talks about carrying his weapon “in war.” Men who served with him called out his lies and hypocrisy, while Democrats praised him.

These same Democrats tried to bash JD Vance, claiming they “didn’t know” if he had any military background. News pundits had to correct Sen. Smith and Rep. Nancy Pelosi when they attempted to tarnish Vance’s record. It is well-known that Vance served in the Marines and was sent to Iraq.

He frequently talks about this, it was a part of his senatorial campaign, and it was in his best-selling book. Yet, these Democrats conveniently forgot this, as they propped up Walz’s non-service.

The Importance of Integrity

Vance’s military service is a crucial part of his identity and political platform. As someone who has firsthand experience with the challenges faced by service members, Vance brings a valuable perspective to discussions on national security, veterans’ affairs, and foreign policy. The Left’s attempts to ignore this aspect of his background are a disservice to the public and to Vance’s candidacy.

JD Vance continues to face an onslaught of media attacks aimed at discrediting his character and qualifications. However, his record as a Marine and his dedication to serving the country speak for themselves. As the election progresses, it is essential for voters to see through the media’s attempts to slander Vance and recognize the true value he brings to the Trump campaign.

Key Takeaways:

  • JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, faces intense media scrutiny and slander.
  • Democrats have tried to downplay or ignore his military service, getting corrected by pundits.
  • Vance’s military background is crucial to his political platform and discussions on national security.
