CNN busts on TT over his DUI By HatetheSwamp August 16, 2024 12:01 pm Category: Politics (0.0 from 0 votes) Rules of the Post Write A New Article How To Post Here

I just reminding you that Philly's Dawn Stensland, who always get this stuff right, warned that TT's not adequately vetted.

Police documents reveal new details on Walz's 1995 DUI arrest

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz's congressional campaign of 2006 repeatedly made false statements about the details of his 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving. CNN KFile reporter Andrew Kaczynski reports.

*****

CNN host Michael Smerconish said that concerns around the 1995 DUI arrest of Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are a major issue that the campaign has to confront.

"The DUI story is indefensible," he said, later asking if Walz was properly vetted by the Harris campaign.

Walz has sought to downplay his arrest for drunk driving in the mid-'90s, but questions about his run-in with law enforcement continue to dog him.

On Sept. 23, 1995, when Walz was working as a teacher in his home state of Nebraska, he was pulled over for going 96 mph in a 55-mph zone.

In comments to reporters in 2006, Walz's campaign for Congress in Minnesota's 1st District insisted he was "not drunk" and blamed a "misunderstanding" with police on "Walz's deafness," which his then-campaign manager said had since been "surgically corrected."

"I don't buy it," Smerconish said, pushing back on claims that Walz's DUI was related to his "hearing disability."

"In the end, it's going to be about the top of the ticket. But to me, the DUI is bigger than the stolen valor allegation, not because of the drinking but because of the lie," he said.

CNN, baby!

by Curt_Anderson on August 16, 2024 12:42 pm Smerconish is right that it won't matter in the election. People mostly vote for president, not vice president. I was on a jury once in a drunk driving case in which the defendant failed the various parts of a field sobriety test. The defendant had limited English language skills. We found him guilty (which probably meant deportation) with me as the foreman playing a large part in reaching that verdict. However, it was credible that the driver didn't understand some of the instructions given in English or he didn't respond quickly enough. Walz probably was over the limit (which Walz doesn't deny), but his hearing loss didn't help. Walz no longer drinks. If every person who has ever exceeded the legal limit of blood alcohol but drove anyway votes for Harris-Walz, Kamala will win in a landslide. by Indy! on August 16, 2024 1:07 pm We already elected* a president with a DUI. *Well, technically the Supreme Whored Selected him - but same idea. On Smerconish who doesn't know where he stand half the time... ""In the end, it's going to be about the top of the ticket. But to me, the DUI is bigger than the stolen valor allegation, not because of the drinking but because of the lie nobody cares about the stolen valor thing," he said." ...fixed it for him. by oldedude on August 16, 2024 2:52 pm I was on a jury once in a drunk driving case in which the defendant failed the various parts of a field sobriety test. The defendant had limited English language skills. We found him guilty (which probably meant deportation) with me as the foreman playing a large part in reaching that verdict. However, it was credible that the driver didn't understand some of the instructions given in English or he didn't respond quickly enough. I'm not going to throw up a line of bullshit about this. Did the officer have Probable Cause to stop Walz. Waltz arrested for DUI in 1995 after driving 96 mph in 50 mph zone That's all the officer needed. If nothing else, the officer just made a few hundred dollars for the state. There was a heavy smell of alcohol in the car. #2 for PC. So now he has a right to the stop and question. It was a state trooper, my guess is that he was also certified in nystagmus testing. Something you can't fake. There are however, diseases that can cause it, but the officer will check for it prior to the test. Walz failed the sobriety test(s) and was arrested. He had a blood alcohol concentration of .128, according to court documents. (.08 is NB's limit) .128 is 62.5% over the limit. THAT is the end result. No excuses. One time thing. Got it. Long time ago. Not worth anyone's time. (I wish the dims could think like that for conservatives). He self-corrected. That's all you can ask. by HatetheSwamp on August 16, 2024 4:10 pm With Walz we're getting pretty close to death by a thousand cuts. by Donna on August 16, 2024 4:22 pm LOL! You wish. Do you know about Evangelicals For Harris? by oldedude on August 16, 2024 6:13 pm It's a bunch of UUC folks claiming to be "Christian" that are for kammy and her kuck. And they're as open to trumpster as po. If that tells you anything. evangelicalsforharris.com by HatetheSwamp on August 17, 2024 4:01 am This ain't evangelical: "Kamala's Faith Story A loving God, the Good Samaritan, serving others, and a deep respect for all faith traditions — these experiences, teachings, beliefs, and values Vice President Kamala Harris grew up with have shaped her into the leader she is today..." Keehee hoo hoo haha, ahhhhhhhhhhh! Nice try, though. evangelicalsforharris.com by oldedude on August 17, 2024 6:10 am Don't forget the murder of infants is okiedokie. by Indy! on August 17, 2024 12:58 pm Seems to me there were a couple posters on this board supporting the murder of infants by Israel recently. Now one of them is acting like that's a problem? by oldedude on August 17, 2024 4:40 pm That would by you, po, and donna. by Indy! on August 17, 2024 4:56 pm Better reread that one and try again, Odie.
