I hear so many Democrats complaining about this discussion that's going on. And oh, we have to show the kind of unity Republicans show and we're showing this division. It's bull crap.
Look, Tim Walz had every right after 20 years to retire from the Army National Guard. He chose to retire before his unit was alerted. He chose to retire while he ran for Congress. He had every right to do that and it is absolutely insane that people would say otherwise.
I've refused to swear allegiance to a man. My oath is to the Constitution. And again, to preserve this country in this democracy for my kid, to honor my grandfather who fought in World War II.
You want to say that Tim Walz, somehow avoided leaving -- deploying with his unit and lead his unit down, fine. I totally don't agree, that's crap. But listen, Donald Trump fled the draft when his country needed him.
