Tim Walz's Repeated Engagements with Controversial Muslim Cleric Under Scrutiny
The Minnesota governor and vice presidential candidate hosted an imam with a history of antisemitic views and pro-Hamas statements, raising concerns among Jewish communities.
- Walz hosted Imam Asad Zaman on at least five occasions during his tenure as governor.
- Zaman has shared pro-Hamas and antisemitic content on social media, including a pro-Hitler film.
- The Muslim American Society of Minnesota, led by Zaman, received over $100,000 in state grants from Walz's administration.
- The Anti-Defamation League has urged public officials to distance themselves from Zaman.
- Walz's ties to Zaman may impact the Harris campaign's appeal to Jewish voters.
