VIDEO: Tim Walz Described Pro-Hitler Muslim Cleric as a ‘Master Teacher’ in 2018
“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.”
The Washington Examiner‘s Gabe Kaminsky unearthed a video of presumptive Democratic VP candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz praising Imam Asad Zaman at an Islamic center event.
Zaman is the director of Minnesota’s Muslim American Society, which has received “over $100,000 in funding” under Walz.
Zaman celebrated when Hamas invaded Israel, slaughtered thousands, and kidnapped hundreds. He has promoted a movie that glorifies Adolf Hitler, shared Hamas propaganda, and cited antisemitic websites.
“I would like to first of all say thank you to imam,” Walz said at the unearthed 2018 event, which was hosted by Minnesota’s Muslim American Society on Feb. 16, 2018, at the South Metro Islamic Center in Rosemount, Minnesota. Standing next to Walz as he spoke was Peggy Flanagan, now the lieutenant governor in the Gopher State.
“I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it. 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,” Walz said of Zaman at the event, before discussing a prior attack at the Dar al Farooq Islamic Center in Minnesota. “It was imam talking [saying that] ‘in those times is where we find who we are, in those times is where we really see.’
“That brings me to the second lesson that imam taught me,” Walz said, describing how Congress “feeds on fear more than hope” and “division.”
“It was a lesson when imam told me to go speak to people,” Walz also said at the event. “I have pushed back through my whole career on the demonization of Islam, on the demonization of immigrants. … In this space, Imam Zaman is right on this, there is Islamophobia, there is a hatred that is being stirred.”
Walz’s people denied any relationship with Zaman once reports emerged of the governor hosting the cleric numerous times.
Zaman even delivered an invocation before Walz’s 2019 state address.
Also, a huge thank you to Gabe for including the full video in his post. I wish more people would do this.

Wonder how Weasel Walz will weasel out of this ?
I don’t think he has to weasel out of it. Since Walz is a socialist and anti-West (his candidacy is supported by DSA), the majority of the Jewish voting community will still vote for him.
I doubt he’ll be asked about it at all.
He could say he was calling Hitler his Master Teacher; not the cleric. That should clear things up.
Need only one word to describe Walz: dhimmi
That characterization also applies to 99.99% of the members of the contemporary Dhimmi-crat Party, save, perhaps, John Fetterman.
mus demonize themselves through the acceptance of the actions by screaming racism etc instead of taking responsibility for the actions
blmplo vs civility
Hamas-hole kamala.
Wants the terrorist vote?
Dems going over the edge.
You have to put this into context: If Hitler came back from the dead and ran as a Democrat he would get 60% of the vote in Minnesota.
Right, and likely 60% of the vote in NYC.
I don’t understand why past statements by both Dems on the ticket aren’t being made into adds.
rinos hate trump
they love that globalism that is destroying america
Kudos, Danny.
Why, it’s almost like the GOPe would rather not win. It’s not like that has ever happened before, either.
