Debunking Political Lies: The Tim Walz DUI Campaign Scandal

this was a republican health district that he was trying to flip and then a local Republican blog puts up that he had this arrest for drunk driving now I'm going to give you sort of the bullets of what his campaign said about that they the campaign setting walls claimed that he had not been drinking and driving they attributed his failed field sobriety test to uh hearing lost from his time in the National Guard not alcohol the C the campaign falsely said that he drove himself to the station that he was allowed to drive drive home they said they said the DUI charges were dropped because they were unfounded uh and the campaign even faulted uh this Trooper uh for saying that he didn't realize that walls had hearing impairment they claimed a judge actually chastised the state trooper for it now take a look at just one statement that his campaign put out they said he quote couldn't understand what the trooper was was telling him during the field Surety test and the trooper refused to speak up to look at just one statement that his campaign put out they said he quote couldn't understand what the trooper was was telling him during the field sobriety test and the trooper refused to speak up the DUI charges were dropped for a reason the judge would not have dismissed them if there were anything to him Tim drove to the station that night and drove home afterwards I don't think the trooper uh would have allowed that if there had been a problem so none of what they said in that 2006 race uh was true at all as we saw and just looking at those details of the 1995 arrest
