Montana Democrats call on Sheehy to release hospital report he says he lied about
The strange story of Republican Tim Sheehy’s bullet wound just keeps getting stranger. Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL who is seeking to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Tester in Montana, recently claimed to the Washington Post that he lied to a park ranger when he said he accidentally shot himself in the arm at a national park in 2015. Instead, Sheehy says, he was shot in Afghanistan three years earlier in a possible episode of friendly fire but never reported the injury. He lied to the ranger, he says, because he feared that telling the truth would somehow spark a military investigation into the original incident overseas. Of course, these new claims don’t add up either, as this new video from Montana Democrats helpfully illustrates: YouTube Video As the video shows, reporters and commentators have a lot of questions: This is a very weird one.
