Donald Trump‘s running mate Sen. J.D. Vance slammed Kamala Harris‘s V.P. pick on Wednesday amid reports that Gov. Tim Walz had skipped out on being deployed to Iraq with the Minnesota National Guard.
Vance, who served with the U.S. Marines in Iraq, said it was ‘shameful’ if Walz had retired in 2005 just as his battalion was preparing to go to war.
‘I mean, your job as a senior enlisted guy in a unit is to keep your people safe. That’s not a job you can switch out of on a moment’s notice,’ Vance told DailyMail.com during an exclusive interview aboard his campaign plane, nicknamed Trump Force Two.
So if he abandoned his troops before they went to Iraq or wherever … absolutely shameful.’
Walz, the governor of Minnesota, was named by Harris as her running mate on Tuesday.
