Back to the Walz

When Kamala Harris chose the most radical candidate she could find for her vp, she couldn't have done a bigger favor for the Trump campaign. It seems to be the gift that keeps giving from the tightly controlled Harris campaign. Not only did Walz allow a police station to be burned to the ground during the 2020 riots and not only did he embellish his military service, but it now seems that he gave praise to a radical Islamist militant.
D emocratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz once praised an alleged extremist Muslim cleric who previously touted Hitler — and more recently refused to condemn the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks — as a “master teacher,” newly resurfaced video shows.
Walz, 60, has come under fire after the footage, uncovered by the Washington Examiner on Tuesday, showed the two-term Minnesota governor speaking highly of Muslim cleric Imam Asad Zaman back in 2018.
“I would like to first of all say thank you to Imam. I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it,” Walz said in the clip.
“Over the time we’ve spent together, one of the things I’ve had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher to try and get the understanding, listening today to the stories and what it means.”
Walz, who made the remarks as he was introducing the Islamic leader at an event hosted by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota during his first gubernatorial campaign, went on to describe some of the lessons Zaman had taught him.
“It was a lesson when imam told me to go speak to people,” Walz said in the video, adding that Congress often “feeds on fear more than hope” and “division.”
“I have pushed back through my whole career on the demonization of Islam, on the demonization of immigrants,” he continued. “In this space, Imam Zaman is right on this, there is Islamophobia, there is a hatred that is being stirred."

Walz has been ripped over his past history with the Islamic leader after it emerged Zaman had taken to Facebook in 2015 to promote a neo-Nazi propaganda film that praises Adolf Hitler — three years before he was praised by the Democrat.
The newly resurfaced footage was shared just days after it was revealed that Walz had repeatedly hosted the Muslim cleric and doled out more than $100,000 in funding to Zaman’s Muslim American Society of Minnesota non-profit over the years.
Meanwhile, it has also since emerged that Zaman pledged “unwavering support” for Palestinians in the wake of the Oct. 7 terror attack.
“MAS reaffirms its unwavering support for the Palestinian people in their struggle against the Israeli occupation,” Zaman in a Facebook post immediately after the bloodshed erupted.
“Israel’s recent unprovoked attacks on Palestinian areas have claimed numerous lives … We call on the US government … to exert maximum pressure on Israel to respect Palestinian lives.”

Didn't they even vet Walz? Or did they think the dishonest media would simply cover for them?
As the Harris campaign quietly posts comments stating that Kamala Harris has had a major reversal in her past policies, it may be worth while for the Trump campaign to take note of what Harris has done since she was awarded the democrat nomination for president:
1) She boycotted Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech before congress.
2) She backed Biden's Court packing scheme
3) She chose the radical walz to be her running mate.
In other news:
A Hamas official said that the group would not attend cease fire talks scheduled for Thursday.
The United Automobile Workers union, which has endorsed Harris, and is little more than an extension of the democrat party has filed a lawsuit claiming that Trump and Musk have violated a federal law against firing workers threatening to go on strike. We are right back to every entity of the left trying to smear Trump. Shades of 2020.
Whoever hacked the Trump campaign (Iran is suspected) leaked the material to Politico, The New York Times and The Washington Post. The three "news" organizations confirmed that they received the hacked information.
A top police officer and ally of controversial Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard was indicted Monday by a federal grand jury on bankruptcy fraud charges.
A man broke into a Trump campaign office in Virginia over the weekend.
Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a progressive member of the “squad” who has criticized Israel, beat a moderate democrat in her radical district primary.

Good morning.
Maggie Shannon for The New York Times
A robot server. No tip needed.
Last year I took a big road trip and doing the whole touristy thing I stopped in at Wall Drug up in South Dakota for a break, gas & some food. They had the robot servers to bring the plates out from the kitchen but I had to laugh as they also had a waitress follow the robot to lift the plates off the robot onto the table. Seemed to defeat the entire process of automation but what the heck...
It still needs a human to make it work.
Kamala: "This is what I love about being elected... cause basically you don't have to ask anybody permission."
Sounds like what a corporal who became Chancellor might say.
Based on your comment, the left lacks the same "self-awareness". But let's ignore that for a tantrum about Trump.
Gee, who do you think the media would allow to actually get away with it?
Vic made a veiled reference to Harris as being Hitler like.
Trump has a history of being compared to Hitler.
That is the lack of self-awareness.
Except with Trump, the quote is not taken out of context.
Didn't take long for the But But But Trump "rebuttal".
By the left. Only the fucking left would do that.
But but Trump
No matter what the subject is they talk Trump.
Notice that not one can contest Walz support for a radical Islamist who praised the Nazis.
Must be tough when they go to a restaurant and can't pick certain things off the menu because Trump may have eaten it before.
Walz praises radical Islamists, who do not belong in this country.
And they claim to worry about their BS.
Even Vance called the former 'president' traitor convicted felon and rapist 'America's Hitler'
By Vance.
Care to comment on the actual article?
If anyone on the right had said that many on the left would be saying he should be disqualified. Or maybe not since many of them share his view.
They are stuck with him now. He was the first crack in the veneer they were creating around Harris.
Projection. Look at what you're stuck with. lol
Are you able to contest Walz praise for the Nazi loving Imam?
Don't care what Vic said.
And it's usually some dimwit from the left doing it.
Don't hold your breath.
They're not going to contest what they support.
That's for sure.
that was 6 years ago
And?
The only one who has come forward to defend Walz, says it happened 6 years ago. Time to forget it.
he praised him 6 years ago, people change their minds. Do you know what Walz thinks of him now? No, you don't, and neither do I.
If you reallly want to paint Walz in a bad light you're gonna need to get up earlier in the morning and drinking real coffee
Oh, so now there is some kind of Statute of Limitations? Does that apply across the board or only to the nonsense you don't want exposed?
That is very weak sauce. The video is out there. Let Walz apologize. Until then he owns it.
If you reallly want to paint Walz in a bad light you're gonna need to get up earlier in the morning and drinking real coffee
He did the portrait all by himself.

2.1.12
I guess you have never changed your mind about a person
And you're trying to paint an oil painting with water colors....it's blurry and messy
What does Vance have to do with Walz?
All he has to do is say so. Why do you suppose he hasn't?
Walz doesn't suck the mushroom
The accused at Nuremberg wished they were included.
Gee, that really doesn't make much sense.
I don't know and neither do you. Maybe he forgot all about it. Now that you've hunted for it and dragged it out for the whole world to see maybe he'll get on that and issue a statement.
I'm bored with this.
I have not seen Walz renounce his comments or the man. Have you?
Very considerate of you.
[✘] Now that you've hunted for it and dragged it out for the whole world to see maybe he'll get on that and issue a statement.
I don't get the credit for finding it. That goes to Bret Baier.
I'm bored with this.
Sorry to bore you so.
Have a good day.
So the American Hitler is running against the American Mao? That Asian identity will come in handy after all. Will Walz become the China Czar in the mold of the Border Czar?
Yeah, I can see a resemblance.
You have me laughing!
Vance sucked the mushroom
I will take under consideration what the Iman said in 2018 and what the governor praised regarding the Iman. And, like most people, he shall, shall, be given plenty opportunity to explain himself in his own terms (if he chooses). Of course, the 'Republicans' trying to conflate a 2018 'master teacher' reference and up to $100,000 in Muslim non-profit services with October 2023 massacre in Israel is a bridge to far. And Trumpists will make noise about it. They will not be left alone to it, nevertheless!
Not as many as Kamala has though
From CNN's Article
(Emphasis is mine)
I am 99.9% positive that Walz is not guilty of either antisemitism or Islamophobia, and the tenth of a percent is just a placeholder. As with all information, context is very important. Your article makes it sound like he knew and condoned everything the Imam has done.
Just watch the entire video . This is not a monster. This is a good man. And the woman standing behind him is from the White Earth Nation of the Ojibwe. Both were speaking on the need to come together as a community.
How horrible to think that politicians want to bring us together rather than drive us apart. /s
To some, he cannot be a good man and a Democrat at the same time.
I saw this in my research on the subject, but decided to just pass on it (for now). The Trumpist deception tactics are unrelenting. . . . I just decided to take a "refresh" in the middle of the day on it.
Since you've probably never been to China you are unable to display any comprehension that a person can appreciate what China is and does and NOT be a Maoist or a Communist. Ignorance really does rule the day in America these days. I'm not a "commie", I'm a Canadian expat who votes conservative, but I am a lot happier living in China than I could possibly be in America these days. And that is not saying that I didn't love America before, even owned a home in America for a while, travelled all over America, saw and attended so much, but that was at least a couple of decades ago, and it is VERY different there now.
Why not Buddhists? Maybe they're too peaceful for his taste.
Or maybe he just forgot?
If any republican would say something six years ago that you did not like, would you say the same about them today.

[deleted] [✘] Most leftists would still be butthurt over something they do not know whether that person had changed their minds or not.
correct every time Jeremy
All he has to do is say so. Why do you suppose he hasn't?
Because then they would lose the Hamas sect of the democratic party, and that sect is very large.
Well, he hasn't forgotten about the Hamas terrorists.
but some service members here lie when they say Walz lied, is that stolen valor or just plain lying?
[deleted][✘]
Or the Israelis.
This seemingly intractable problem has two sides that neither of which realistically can say they are for peace because of the conflation of religion and government creating two supposedly monolithic masses of different character, pitted against each other.
Give up the religion, or at least throw away the people who say that the "Only way" to whatever is to follow them. Then they can become citizens of the middle east. Look at how well those "only way" people have done. The citizenry of the Middle East do not need them. The "Only Way" people are interested in cultivating power and influencing everybody they can. They don't do it by uniting, they do it by sowing hatred, fear, and prejudice. A lot like Trump and the current batch of kiss-ass used-to-be Republicans.
Can you point out those service members who are lying or are you just spewing bullshit?
Well, I have to admit that Jews do have somewhat of a problem living with those of other religions whose religions dictate that Jews need to be killed, The Koran commands the Muslims to find the Jews and kill them and their Imams remind them that The Day of Judgment will not come until they fight the Jews and kill them, and then there are the sects of Christianity that believe that all Jews will die at "The End of Times". Times have been a little tough for Jews over the years - being blamed for the Black Plague, and having to survive The Inquisition, The Holocaust, and being attacked on all fronts in Israel.
Kermit the frog might say it's not easy being green, well, let me say that it's not easy being Jewish.

Getting a bit nit picky don't you think?
LOL. Yeah, I guess so, and RIGHTLY so.
They think the people work for them and not the other way around.
It appears that the Harris people didn't have time to do a deep dive search on Walz radical history which seems to be supportive of radical Islamic beliefs
The left seems to be at home with those beliefs.
Minnesota seems to be overflowing with extremists. Per rep Ohmer, there are 50,000 Democrats in her district alone who are "literal Nazis"
Deputy District Attorney Shea Sanna, 36, said in a lawsuit filed Tuesday, Aug. 13, in Los Angeles Superior Court that Gascón and his administration pressured him to suppress information about Tubbs’ use of gender identity as a ploy to gain more favorable jail treatment and retaliated against him when he refused to comply.

Did you watch the whole video? Probably not. I doubt the Washington Examiner did, either.

Musk offers to interview Harris live on X after Trump conversation
Elon Musk's Offer to Kamala Harris After Trump Interview (msn.com)
Why the hell should she agree to do that? Especially with such an amoral freakshow.
Conversation? So it wasn't an 'interview' after all. Shocker!
WHat is the difference, she is afraid to do either a conversation or an interview. Heaven forbid she is asked questions on previous policy disasters and future policies if she becomes president.
'So Musk is running a superpac and directly coordinating with the candidate for an interview on X and during that 'interview' explicitly endorses the candidate.'
So, election laws never applied to this candidate, the former 'president' convicted felon and rapist. I keep forgetting that he is held to no standards whatsoever. Silly me!
Major lawsuit against Alvin Bragg.
So, some idiots are suing Bragg for doing his job?
Did you read what the lawsuit is about?
brought by Gym Jordan
Wrong again. It was "First Legal."
And you confirmed you didn't read or know a damn thing about the lawsuit.
So whoever comprises 'First Legal' then.
Wouldn't those be privileged conversations?
No. They are unethical conversations.
Unethical? What makes them unethical? You have not seen them, if they even exist.
Not only have blue cities become dangerous, but they've also become more expensive!
Yet they will continue to vote blue. Stupid runs deep with some.

Those Feral Cats cost a lot!
No cost is too high when it comes to replacing the voters.
hilarious that you 'believe' that immigrants are voting in mass numbers as Democrats
In a red-state. Oh, for shame. Allegedly, 'locking down' voter registration, designed to control minorities and other marginalized communities voting conduct, has its flaws.
No one can ascertain whom the alleged 'offenders' would vote for in the fall as of this reading. It could be some republicans, democrats, or third party set of candidates.
He's a republicon, don't trust him.
Then those folks should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if it's illegal for them to vote then!
Apparently posting a picture like this is now ‘racist’.
Isn’t everything now, though s/
When there is nothing left, it is the last refuge.
