Questions Arise Over Tim Walz's Political Origin Story

Inconsistencies found in Walz's account of a 2004 Bush rally incident, raising doubts about his narrative as he campaigns for vice president.

Walz claims he was inspired to run for office after being denied entry to a Bush rally with students in 2004.
Investigations reveal Walz was admitted to the rally, contradicting his story.
The teenagers accompanying Walz were not his students and had previously caused a confrontation at the event.
Evidence shows Walz was already politically active before the rally, participating in protests.
Walz's recounting of the events has faced scrutiny alongside other claims about his background.
