There are numerous falsehoods being spread about Tim Walz. Please help share the truth: Claim: Tim Walz mandated tampons in all boys' restrooms. Fact: False. Tim Walz signed a bipartisan law that requires schools to supply free menstrual products for "all menstruating students" in grades 4 through 12. The law does not specify that these products must be placed in boys' restrooms. The decision on placement is left to individual schools. Minnesota is one of 28 states providing menstrual products in schools, including Republican-led states like Georgia, Ohio, and Utah. Claim: Tim Walz abandoned his enlistment early from the Army National Guard. Fact: False. Tim Walz honorably retired from the Army National Guard after 24 years of dedicated service to run for the House of Representatives and continue teaching. He is the highest-ranking enlisted man to have served in Congress. National Guardsmen are eligible for retirement after 20 years, but Walz served an additional four years. A battalion mate of Walz’s said, "He was a great soldier. When he chose to leave, he had every right to leave." Claim: Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis. Fact: False. Following the riots, then-President Trump praised Walz's handling of the situation. Trump said, “I fully agree with the way he handled it the last couple of days. I was very happy with the last couple of days, Tim… You called up big numbers and the big numbers knocked them out so fast it was like bowling pins." I understand some might criticize me for posting this, but that's because we're sharing the truth and it's making an impact.
