“President Joe Biden "sent comrade [Vice President] Kamala [Harris] to see [Russian President Vladimir] Putin in Russia three days before the attack" on Ukraine.”

FactCheck.org rated this: False

FactCheck.org says: In February 2022, Harris went to a security conference in Germany to primarily talk with European leaders about Russian aggression toward Ukraine. She didn’t go to Russia, and there is no evidence she met with Putin.

“When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, do you know what he did? He dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: After 24 years of service, Walz retired in May 2005 to run for Congress. He submitted retirement paperwork months before. In March 2005, his unit was notified of possible deployment. The official order came in July 2005.
