Where do these MAGAs dig up these pitiful candidates?
Tim Sheehy, a businessman and retired Navy SEAL, is hoping to unseat three-term incumbent Sen. Jon Tester (D-Montana) next month. Sheehy has claimed that he was shot in the arm while on a combat tour in Afghanistan.
67 year-old park ranger Kim Peach — a former ranger at Glacier National Park in Montana — is claiming that Sheehy's gunshot wound was self-inflicted. In that interview, Peach described how Sheehy's gun accidentally went off while he was in his car, resulting in a bullet being lodged in his arm. The park ranger found a shell casing after inspecting the Montana businessman's gun, and wrote up a $525 citation for discharging a firearm inside a national park.
Of course, Sheehy and his campaign dispute Ranger Peach’s account. Well, it certainly ought to be easy to prove one way or another — the Ranger would certainly have filed a report of the gunshot wound. And if Sheehy’s rendition were accurate then it should be recorded on his DD-214 and there would be a citation for his Purple Heart which would accompany a combat wound.
This is not the first time Sheey’s integrity was questioned. His campaign bio contained wildly inflated distortions of his childhood and he tried to cover up receiving a multimillion dollar investment from his parents to launch his aerial firefighting business.
