Tim Walz's DNC Speech: 20 Minutes of Utter Lies, Stolen Valor

[RedState] Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has formally accepted the Democratic Party's nomination to be Kamala Harris's vice president, giving the keynote speech on the third night of the party's national convention.

Standing on the stage in Chicago, he spoke to party leaders and voters while his family cried and his son Gus shouting "That's my dad!" as the nominee came on stage.

Walz's speech was a familiar one, hitting many of the same notes he has been hitting since he was selected by Harris to be her running mate in this truncated campaign season. He spoke about their party's policies being "neighborly" - caring for each other, helping folks out, etc. - and criticized his opponents.

But the speech was also notable in that it kept up with the party's talking point of the night.

Walz and several of the other speakers of the night emphasized the idea of hope, joy, happiness, and other positive feelings - what younger voters (and media figures trying to stay cool) call "the vibes" - in their campaign and their party.

Walz even recalled his time spent as an assistant coach, calling the race the "fourth quarter," noting the Democrats had been down but now have the ball

Walz has relied on his military record, time as an assistant coach, and his years as a teacher to help build his persona, and he drew from all of it in the speech Wednesday night.

But he will still be facing several challenges in the coming days. He will face Donald Trump's running mate, JD Vance, in a debate, and Vance has focused on Walz's political record and his record of lying about his service, both of which will fall under more scrutiny when the two meet.

Walz's speech capped off the penultimate night of the DNC, with Thursday being the biggest night yet. Walz's running mate, Harris, will accept her party's nomination tomorrow.

#2 That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Speaking of which.
Barry showed up in my matrix for Kamala, begging for $5 lack a well dressed hobo needing liquor.
