On Friday's broadcast of CNN's "The Source," Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg -- who was appearing in his personal capacity -- argued that statements from Republicans that 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) overstated his title and falsely claimed to have carried weapons in war -- which the Harris-Walz campaign conceded the validity of by updating his bio on their campaign website and saying that Walz misspoke about carrying weapons in war -- show "how desperate Republicans are not to talk about the issues."
