In a recent appearance on Breitbart News Daily, Representative Tom Emmer from Minnesota dropped the hammer on Governor Tim Walz, labeling him as a “pathological liar” and suggesting that his antics could actually make Minnesota ripe for a Trump takeover. Emmer, not one to mince words, detailed how Walz seems to fabricate details about his military past and accolades, providing a treasure trove of nonsensical claims that make one wonder if he needs a better press secretary or just a reality check.
One eye-roll-inducing gem of Walz’s is his supposed rank of Command Sergeant Major. Emmer pointed out the absurdity of embellishing an already respectable military title. After all, being a Sergeant is impressive enough without needing to add a shiny gold star for no apparent reason. It raises the question: what compels Walz to inflate his résumé when he’s already got a formidable background? Apparently, lying appears to be the thrilling sport of choice for the governor.
Sounds very familiar. #DiaperJoe lied his way to the top, and…both are eerily creepy.

And the lies do not stop there. According to Emmer, Walz once claimed he attended Harvard, and in a classic gaffe, the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce had to tell him to back off after he boasted about receiving an award from them—an award that simply does not exist. Such small fabrications may seem trivial, but a pattern is emerging that creates a less-than-flattering picture of Walz as a guy more interested in spinning tall tales than telling the truth.
Emmer also highlighted another significant lie relating to Walz’s military record, one that has been floating around since 2008 but never gained traction, likely due to some unspeakable fear among local media to confront the truth. While mainstream outlets have opted for the “ignore it and it will go away” strategy, Emmer is adamant that this sort of dishonesty shouldn’t be just shrugged off. Instead, it signals a deeper issue: electing someone with such glaring inconsistencies could endanger the state’s integrity.
Clearly, Walz’s popularity is waning. In the last election, he eked out a narrow victory with just 52 percent of the vote, winning only 13 out of 87 counties. For those keeping score, that’s a road to reelection as rocky as a Minnesota winter. His own congressional district, the heartland of his political life, went against him by eight points. This landscape opens up a tantalizing possibility that, perhaps, Trump might swoop in and flip Minnesota red for the first time in decades. Given the state of affairs, Emmer’s prediction may not be as far-fetched as some might think, especially with Walz making it all too easy for the former president.
