On Wednesday's broadcast of "CNN News Central," Harris-Walz campaign surrogate Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) -- who is a combat veteran -- stated that the criticism of 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) around his military record "is an issue of truth versus lies," and Republicans are "trying to do classic political character assassination." Crow also stated that Walz doesn't need to clear up his statements about his rank.
