Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are known for saying some astonishing things, but their latest lie may be their biggest and most audacious yet.
The Democratic ticket has become so desperate that the duo are busy trying to scare their followers stiff. Their current bugaboo of choice, as usual, is former President Donald J. Trump.
They claim the 45th president is going to activate the military against U.S. citizens who vote against him…but there are some huge holes in their outrageous election claim.
The pair aren’t whispering or dog whistling; they’re making the ridiculous statements in campaign speeches and internationally televised interviews.
Tim Walz seemed to get the ball rolling at a small campaign stop on Monday.
“Just so you’re clear about that, that’s you. That’s who he’s talking about,” he told the small group of liberals gathered around him.
His claims were so outrageous, he seemed to need to reassure his audience that “this is not some mythical thing out there. He called it ‘the enemy within.’”
The Trump War Room pointed out to its followers the way that “Tim Walz peddles a disgusting lie that President Trump will use the U.S. Army against his political opponents
“This is reckless, dangerous rhetoric,” said the Trump campaign. “Tim should be ASHAMED of himself.”

Tim wasn’t ashamed; he was just getting started.
At a campaign rally later in the day, Tim Walz repeated the same lie to a big campaign crowd—or what passes for a big crowd at a Democratic rally, saying Trump “suggested he is going to send the military against…Americans who don’t support him.”

Trump’s followers were disgusted by the bloody lie.
“Tim Walz just told a crowd of supporters that President Trump will use the U.S. Army against them if he’s elected. Same guy who constantly says Trump operates on fear,” said Greg Price.

Yet Tim Walz was just the first one on the ticket to talk about it.
Kamala Harris dragged the charge into the national spotlight during her hostile, screaming match of an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News on Wednesday night.
Donald Trump “suggesting he would turn the American military on the American people,” Harris yelled.
You're also the only person to authorize the US military to use deadly force on American citizens. In this interview you lied and said Trump wanted to turn the military against Americans, but he hasn't done any such thing. But you have. https://t.co/QkpAmBV9Rm pic.twitter.com/aeIkDaJyIe

What on earth are they talking about? As usual, they’re taking things way out of context. Donald Trump said the U.S. president would use the military against radical left-wingers who tried to incite violence on election day, like they did in the summer of 2020.
On “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,” Bartiromo said even President Joe Biden does not believe election day will be peaceful.
“Well, he doesn’t have anything to do with what’s happening. In all fairness, he spends most of his day sleeping,” replied Trump.
When she brought up the number of terrorists who have crossed the border, and who might want to set off bombs on election day, Trump actually dismissed concerns about violence.
“I don’t think they’re the problem in terms of election day,” he said. “I think the bigger problem is the enemy within.”
He made clear he was talking about “sick people” and “lunatics.” Trump said that any threat of widespread looting or election day violence “should be very easily handled, if necessary, by the National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military.”
Whoever needs to stop radical left-wingers—like Antifa, the BLM, and Occupy Wall Street—from
repeating their reign of terror from the summer of George Floyd.
That’s what Walz and Harris are turning into a violent outrage.
Of course, there’s a huge, self-refuting hole in the Kamala-Walz campaign’s fearmongering campaign…and it’s absolutely undeniable.
No matter who wins the 2024 presidential election, everybody of all parties can agree on one thing: Donald Trump will not be the commander-in-chief of the U.S. military on election day.
On paper, that’s Joe Biden…but Kamala Harris, or whoever actually runs the Biden administration, has more control over whether the Army gets deployed than her “boss.”

Of course, the rest of Kamala’s Fox News interview did not go well, either. At one point, Harris insisted that Baier knew “what I’m talking about.”
“I actually don’t, what are you talking about?” asked a bewildered Baier.
There are so many clips I want to share, but Bret Baier saying, “I actually don’t, what are you talking about,” was incredible. Watch this clip on Kamala turning the page: pic.twitter.com/OMjUDKOWBu

To add insult to injury, it’s actually Democrats who have repeatedly threatened to turn the U.S. military against the American people.
In January, Biden seemingly threatened to bomb the American people.
“Well guess what, man?” Biden asked. “If you really want to worry about the government, you need an F-16.”

It wasn’t the first time Biden, let alone Democrats in general, made such a threat.
Last June, Biden used the same line, with slightly better flourish, at a speech in California.
Later on, he said if you want “to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe come nuclear weapons.”

He’s not the only one. Infamous 2020 presidential hopeful Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., implied in 2018 that he might nuke America to save America from Americans.
If the American people ever needed to resist a tyrannical federal government, Eric Swalwell said, “it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them.”
And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit. I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities.

Eric Swalwell, who suggested he would irradiate his political opponents in their own homeland, had a much more tender embrace of the Chinese Communist Party, especially one named Fang Fang.
Democrats have shown they have contempt for conservatives, police, the military, parents, working-class voters, rural voters, and straight, white, Christians. They wouldn’t mind nuking them. Now, they’re blaming Trump for their own sins.
Will American voters take out Harris-Walz before Harris-Walz and the Deep State takes them out?
