RARE PHOTOS: Trump campaign echoes swift boating tactics against gov walz | Vintage Vibes

Former U.S. President Trump hosts a campaign rally, in Rome, Georgia

The Trump campaign has recently come under scrutiny for its attacks on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's military record, drawing comparisons to the controversial 'swift boating' campaign from 20 years ago against John Kerry. This tactic, which accuses political opponents of lying about their military service, is being spearheaded by Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita.

LaCivita previously played a significant role in the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group, which famously questioned John Kerry's military service during the 2004 presidential campaign. Now, it seems that the Trump campaign is employing a similar strategy as Vice President Kamala Harris selected Walz, a 24-year Army National Guard veteran, as her running mate.
