Walz is also facing backlash after retired Capt. Corey Bjertness, a member of the governor’s former National Guard unit, New York Post Harris’ VP pick was a “coward.”
He told the outlet: “In our world, to drop out after a WARNORD [warning order] is cowardly, especially for a high-ranking man.”
“Running for Congress is not an excuse,” Bjertness said of Walz’s decision to quit. “I stopped everything and went to war. I left my wife with three teenagers and a six-year-old and I was gone for nineteen months.”
Former President Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican Party have used Walz’s alleged “stolen courage” to attack the Harris/Walz campaign after the Democratic ticket skyrocketed in the polls.
