Tim Walz pressed about 2018 "weapons of war" statement in CNN interview

SAVANNAH, Ga. — In their first televised interview as Democratic presidential running mates, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz faced more questions about Walz's military service.

CNN anchor Dana Bash pressed Walz about a statement he made in a 2018 video following the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Walz refers to "weapons of war that I carried in war," while telling a crowd at a campaign stop in Minnesota why he stopped taking NRA donations.

"You said that you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone. A campaign official said that you misspoke. Did you?" Bash said.
