In addition to his offensive attacks on freedom of association during his unconstitutional COVID Lockdowns in Minnesota, in addition to his offensive adulation for censorship of speech he doesn’t like, and added to his extant padding of his military record, charming Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) is being cited for more apparent deceit about his own life.
Eliana Johnson reports for The Washington Free Beacon that the deceit seems to go as deep as his boast that the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce called him an “Outstanding Young Nebraskan,” to his claim that he and his wife had children through In-Vitro-Fertilization (IVF).
On the self-promotion of his time in Nebraska, she writes:
“Walz’s 2006 boast about being named ‘Outstanding Young Nebraskan’ can still be found in an archived version of his campaign website. That November, the president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, Barry Kennedy, wrote Walz to object. ‘It has come to my attention that as part of your campaign for U.S. Congress, you have posted your biography on your website that claims you received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for your service to the business community,’ he stated plainly. ‘We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.’"
Well, clearly, that’s speech from Mr. Kennedy that should be censored.
Ms. Johnson also notes that Mr. Kennedy asked that Walz eliminate the reference from his website and that Mr. Kennedy said that the Chamber had endorsed Walz’s opponent, Gil Gutknecht, the Republican incumbent.
And what was the public response from Walz’s congressional campaign?
“Walz's campaign manager at the time said he'd in fact won an award from the Junior Chamber of Commerce, according to a report in Minnesota's Alpha News, and attributed the mistake to a ‘typographical error.’ The Harris-Walz campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
But Gutknecht, who lost to Walz that year, did speak to the Washington Free Beacon. ‘It fits a pattern of misleading and fabricated statements he has made throughout his political and personal life,’ he recalled. ‘All political figures are guilty of a bit of puffery. He frequently went well beyond that into prevarication.’"
Yet, it is WALZ who gets on the proverbial high-horse and endorses government censorship to stop what he calls “misinformation."
Johnson has uncovered more, and it gets even more disturbing.

Not only does the censorious Walz appear willing to lie about his military record, even as he receives little pushback for trampling the Bill of Rights via his lockdowns and calls for gun grabs, he appears to have lied about the conception of his OWN children.
“…(I)n the midst of the Democratic convention, it emerged that Walz had lied about his own children. The governor has made his family’s fertility struggles a central part of the narrative as he introduces himself to the country—'Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children,’ he told MSNBC in July. But his kids were not, actually, conceived via in vitro fertilization. Rather, they were conceived through a far less costly, less invasive, and non-controversial procedure known as intrauterine insemination, which does not involve the cultivation and potential destruction of embryos.”
But, of course, one can readily recognize two characteristics of his statement. First, it’s slightly ambiguous, not offering a direct cause-effect relationship between IVF and his children, but implying it. He thanks God for IVF, allowing the reader to think it is the procedure that led to his offspring, but also allowing him an “out” to say that he never directly claimed IVF gave him and his wife their two beautiful children.
And then there’s the thanking of “God” for IVF in the first place. Since IVF creates “spare” embryos who are human beings but become trapped in stasis, frozen, not implanted in the mother, and not allowed to live, one wonders how Walz could muster the gall to cite the Lord as he praises the procedure.
Obviously, Walz brings in IVF because in many cases, it is a parallel to abortion. So we get it, Walz. You don’t care about the lives of unborn human beings. You seem to care much more about pandering to the abortion industry.
And Johnson has uncovered even more of Walz’s evident flip and foolish, devilish deceit.
She notes that in a 2006 biographical piece, Walz cited a “yearlong stint teaching in China,” and he implied that the opportunity came to him directly from the Harvard University brass.
That was not the case.
"’Harvard University offered Walz an opportunity to gain a new perspective on global education by teaching in the People's Republic of China,’ the biography claims. His congressional biography, published after Walz had won his seat, said the same thing. Indeed, a 2018 version indicated that Walz taught in China ‘through a program at Harvard University.’
The program in question is the WorldTeach program, a nonprofit founded by Harvard undergraduates, including the Nobel Prize-winning economist Michael Kremer, in 1986. For a time, the program was funded by Harvard’s Phillips Brooks House Association, which the Harvard Crimson has characterized as ‘a student-run community service group’ that disburses resources to an array of nonprofit organizations and facilitates volunteerism for Harvard students. WorldTeach, which is currently dormant, does not appear to have ever been an official program of Harvard.”
Johnson also notes:
“Walz, who is casting himself as a homespun midwesterner and mocks Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance for attending Yale Law School, now omits any mention of Harvard from his biography.”
And that is not the end. Johnson observes another apparent inflation.
“’Also gone from Walz’s biography is a reference to another award he touted when he launched his congressional bid. In 1989, he said, the year he graduated from college, he ‘earned the title of Nebraska Citizen-Soldier of the Year.’
That is a significant exaggeration that makes it sound like Walz was the sole recipient of an award. In reality, Walz was one of 52 reservists in 1989 who were invited to a brunch in Omaha for the ‘31st Annual Citizen Soldiers Awards,’ put on by the Aksarben Foundation, a local non-profit that, at the time, owned a race track and funded community events through horse betting.
A newspaper article on the event said the 52 reservists at the brunch were honored ‘for military reserve service.’ The newspaper announcement was followed by an item that said Barnie Calef, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was the sole winner of a duck calling contest.”
Perhaps Walz would like to censor duck calling, as well.
Who can tell the next tyrannical plans he will push, and the lies he’ll promulgate. The Walz dance on truth and liberty is by no means over. One might be flabbergasted to think about all the prevarications and deceptions he’s already spouted, but he’s got lots of time left to be in the media spotlight and involved with the political machine.
And he seems to care about truth as little as he cares about respecting our rights.
