MAGA's fake attack on Tim Walz

MAGA's latest target to take down the Harris-Walz ticket: Scout, Gov. Walz's dog. The claim stems from a post on X with two images of Walz and a dog. Walz mentions Scout in both photos, though the dogs are different. But one of the images is from a 2022 outing at a park, where Walz is seen playing with other dogs, according to a video he posted on Instagram at the time. Molly Jong-Fast breaks it down.

These people cheat on their spouses but want to grief this man for petting another dog?

[Jdwill]

Tim Walz pets another dog at a dog park, Republicans freak it.
Kriti Noem murders a puppy and Republicans are like "and your point?"

[lorekeepermeerah]

The nerve of them doing this when they have that kristi lady who literally bragged about murdering a puppy.

[mesel]

It's turning into a self-inflicted humiliation cult.

[carolmelton]

I've been to dog parks many times. Other people and their dogs are there, you stop to talk for a few minutes, the dogs interact, you pet the other person's dog, they pet your dog. I had no idea I was engaging in so many scandalous situations.

[OmniLoved]

If you watch the video, Tim takes Scout to the dog park to play and another dog comes up to him wanting to be pet, Tim pets the dog. Nothing wrong or weird going on.

Tim adopted a rescued dog six years ago. He also adopted a rescued cat six months ago. When you think about Noem and Vance, it's understandable that the Republican Party hates him

[i_hateithere]

They’re so desperate and they’re dangerous.
Please be careful with these people, they’re completely ignorant of reality and they want it that way. They can’t/won’t be helped.
My father is a maga, he’s distant and miserable, no friends, his kids don’t speak to him due to his hatred. This cult has broken up so many families.
These people have lost everything, for trump. Their bank accounts & families, friends & careers.
This is beyond sad. I hope they get help and come back to the light. It’s hard, they have no shame, so they’re not even embarrassed, they don’t realize they _should_ be!
Voting blue for Kamala & Tim, pushing back on the hate for good.🇺🇸

0:15 How low can these people go? They keep trying to hit Gov Walz but nothing will stick because he is a good, decent man! YES, he has a black dog, YES he takes his dog to a dog park, YES everyone in Minnesota knows this. These people aren’t just weird, they are crazy!

[wendypow]

Having petted my own dog, I then petted my son's 3 dogs! WHAT was I thinking! Am I now supposed to vote red? He!! No. I love dogs.❤

[itzchichan]

It’s honestly shocking how shameless some people can be

[traceymac]

Wow this is how low they will go after going after his kid. If this is all they can come up with, they will continue to make stuff up

[Ittakesavillagetothrive]

These people need to get a life. Make sure your registered and vote blue on every ballot for Democracy and sanity.
💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲

[bluelupin]

This is what desperation looks like, folks.

Harris🇺🇲Walz/2024

[roisinhart]

At least both dogs survived their encounter with him.

[Quick_And_Nerdy]

Watch they hired a private investigator for 4 weeks and this is all they could come up with

[raenoway]

Why is this a thing?!? Oh MAGA, got it. The same group mad at President Obama for wearing a tan suit and liking Dijon mustard. 🙄

[dolphinsleap]

so here's a question for people to ponder:
WHY should anyone trust the running and defense of this wonderful country of ours to people who CANNOT research and accurately report a SIMPLE DOG STORY?
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤪

[PennRynn]

I guess they missed the comma. And they want to dismantle the public education system…SMFH

[debiseeu]

Why hasn't Kristi been charged with animal cruelty? What she claims she did to her dog is illegal.
