Kamala’s VP Tim Walz Accused of Making Up New Award and Endorsement Out of Thin Air

When Walz initially ran for Congress in Minnesota, he bragged on his official campaign website that he’d received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce back in 1993. He claimed that this award was given to him for his excellent work in the business community.

However, Barry L. Kennedy, the then-president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, was quick to fire back at this claim in a blistering letter. In it, Kennedy made it very clear that Walz had never received such an award.

“We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce,” the letter addressed to Walz on Nov. 1, 2006, reads.

“I am not going to draw a conclusion about your intentions by including this line in your biography. However, we respectfully request that you remove any reference to our organization as it could be considered an endorsement of your candidacy. It should be pointed out, however, that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has endorsed your opponent, Congressman Gil Gutknecht, for his support of small business issues,” Kennedy continued.

Ouch!
