Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bashed rival Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) for attending Yale — after Walz followed a long list of Yale- and Ivy-League-educated speakers at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Wednesday.
“I grew up in Butte, Nebraska. A town of 400 people,” Walz said, continuing: “I had 24 kids in my high school class. And none of them went to Yale.”
But Walz’s predecessors onstage at the convention included a large number of Yale and Ivy League graduates — on Wednesday night alone:
- Jaime Harrison, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee (Yale)
- Virginia McGregor, Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee (Harvard)
- Alexis McGill Johnson, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood (Yale and Princeton)
- Cecile Richards, past President of Planned Parenthood (Brown)
- Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado (Princeton)
- Mindy Kaling, Actor (Dartmouth)
- Bill Clinton, former President (Yale)
- Amanda Gorman, poet (Harvard)
- Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation
- John Legend, musician (Penn)
- Amy Klobuchar, Senator from Minnesota (Yale)
Walz is under fire for fabricating parts of his own biography, including his military service. A video shown at the convention repeated one of Walz’s misleading statements about his military rank; he retired as a master sergeant, below the rank of command sergeant major, after failing to complete the requirements for the latter.
