Tim Walz's "Bad Grammar"

 

“We can make sure that those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at.” 

 During the interview on CNN when Dana Bash asked Tim Walz about his misrepresenting his military service, specifically, the above statement he had previously made, Walz basically avoided the point, chalking it up to "bad grammar."

 Well, I suppose one can nitpick the grammar in that statement, but the problem is not in the grammar. The meaning is quite clear. He said that he carried weapons in war- period.

"I said, we were talking about in this case—this was after a school shooting—the ideas of carrying these weapons of war and my wife the English teacher told me my grammar is not always correct. But again, if it's not this, it's an attack on my children for showing love for me, or it's an attack on my dog

Walz evaded the question.
