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.
