CNN anchor Brianna Keilar appears to be walking back her swipe against Sen. JD Vance , insisting he "served honorably" after facing backlash for suggesting he embellished his military service.

The liberal anchor marveled that "there are two veterans on these presidential tickets," something that has been absent in recent presidential elections.

Keilar speculated that Vance "may be an imperfect messenger" to criticize Tim Walz .

JD Vance's opponent has been at the center of a brewing controversy since he joined the Democratic ticket.

Walz, who served in the Minnesota National Guard for 24 years , was never in an active war zone.

He did not deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan .

The Harris campaign changed the language in Walz's bio on their website after the dust-up.
