Tim Sheehy: No Medical Records Exist for My Gunshot Wound

Tim Sheehy, the Montana Republican nominee for Senate, said in an interview with former Fox News host Megyn Kelly that there are no medical records that would prove he did not accidentally shoot himself in the arm in Glacier National Park in 2015.

Sheehy is facing a fresh round of scrutiny about a bullet wound in his arm, which he has told voters he sustained while serving as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan in 2012. But in 2015, he told a park ranger he accidentally inflicted the wound upon himself when he dropped his weapon in a parking lot in Glacier National Park and it fired into his arm.

He went to the Trump College of Falsical Knowledge

So either he lied to a government official (Park Ranger) or he has a Purple Heart he didn't earn. He will definitely be elected Senator in Montana either way.

BTW we have a Republican in Florida, Cory Mills. He appears to be quite the liar as well.

He ways he spent 7 years in Iraq and 2 in Afghanistan.
He served July 1999 - August 2003.
His DD214 says 0 days in foreign service, no combat roles
But he calls himself an "Army sniper" even though he was a medic.

So what's up with these Republicans and Military service? What they actually did just wasn't good enough?
Just like DeSantis deliberately conflating the work he did with being a SEAL. He never was.

Their hypocrisy is boundless.

with being a SEAL. He never was.

After completing his SEAL training at Harvard Law, he hit the trenches as a JAG advisor to the SEAL HQ in Iraq.

Even Kelly wasn't buying his bs.

Republicans are all pathological liars they can't talk without lying.

He shot himself like Elmer Rhodes shot himself.

The odds of him having a gsw from Afghanistan that was undocumented is unlikey.

I think his story was he didn't report it because it was a friendly fire thing and he didn't want to get anyone in trouble. Doesn't explain the Purple Heart though.

friendly fire in a war zone gets you a purple heart.

shooting yourself doesn't.

His Wiki page says he also claimed to have parachuted into Glacier National Park during SEAL training, but the National Park Service and US military say they don't train in the park.

Sounds like stolen valor to me. Political careers have been ended for less. Hopefully this will end his.

Has this lying MAGAt tried the "Drambuie, off the Barbary Coast - I used to hang out at the Magumba Bar" defense yet?

Aren't servicemen in a war zone required to report any injury that can leave so much as a scar?

It must have been reported or no Purple Heart. The odd thing was telling the park ranger he did it by accident in the park. Why would he say that?

The Purple Heart was from an injury from a IDE and is unrelated. He also received some other medal that I'm not going to look up.

There's no doubt he a decorated veteran.

Why would he say that?

The shooting had just happened and the wound was still fresh, so he had to tell the truth. Park Rangers are like cops.

He dropped his gun on the ground while he was exiting his car, and it discharged into his arm. With his wife and kid in the car.

He started lying about it this year in ads, which the Ranger, who lives in MT, saw and publicly contradicted.

Sheehy has also claimed he did not report receiving the wound in Afghanistan because it was friendly fire and he didn't want to get the guy who shot him in trouble. So, he threw his comrades under the bus to cover the lie.

What's worse? The lie, or the incompetence he demonstratedby shooting himself in front of his family.

Tim Sheehy violates Naval Honor Code
dailyinterlake.com

... In 2004, Minnesota's Tim Sheehy signed the Naval Academy's midshipmen's Oath of Office and Honor Code which say he wouldn't "lie, steal or cheat," and would do his "duty and to live honorably."

Nineteen years later, that same Tim Sheehy announced running for Montana's U.S. Senate seat. Based upon the number of lies he's told the press and people of Montana, Sheehy not only had abandoned Minnesota in pursuit of political power, he also abandoned his Midshipman's Oath and Honor Codes.

As an Eisenhower Republican and a proud veteran, I strive to live by a similar oath and honor code. But Sheehy's long list of prevarications make him unworthy of my vote and the office he seeks.

Sheehy stated he grew up "rural" in Minnesota. Actually, he grew up in a suburb of St. Paul, in a multimillion-dollar lakeside house.

Sheehy has made his military service central to his campaign. But, when Sheehy left active duty in 2014,records show he was discharged with an "involuntary separation" after failing to earn promotion to the next rank.

He claimed on a podcast that he'd been a Navy SEAL from 2004 to 2014.Impossible since he didn't graduate from the Naval Academy until 2008.

Sheehy also claimed he'd parachuted into Glacier Park during Seal training -- which the Park Service says not only didn't happen to him, it is not allowed at all.

Sheehy talks about a badge of honor, a bullet he claimed was lodged in his arm in Afghanistan. He's told so many different stories about this that it makes your head spin.

Sheehy has said he "lied" to a Glacier National Park ranger about accidentally shooting himself in his arm in the park in October 2015 " claimed he'd gotten shot in Afghanistan instead.The park ranger last week said Sheehy wasn't shot in Afghanistan -- that Sheehy signed a statement and paid a fine for shooting himself in Glacier Park -- all verified by park records.

In another questionable story, Sheehy said he used his "life savings" to start Bridger Aerospace, but records show he received considerable assistance from his father and brother, a Wall Street financier. ...

So he will be the next Senator from Montana.

Park rangers, park police, and even game wardens and other officials not only have the authority to arrest you themselves, but they can also refer your matter to local law enforcement or federal law enforcement.
