I don't think this is true. Why? Because he would have never survived the vetting process. They have dossiers on these guys hundreds of pages deep. They talk to everyone he's ever known, anyone they can talk to. If there was a hint of this he would have never been nominated. They hire people to go out and find people who don't like him so they can hear the worst.

This would have been widely known and gossiped about among high schoolers while he was there, but nobody said anything during vetting? Nobody has said anything while he was governor? I have a hard time believing it.

I'm not buying this story.

Does the truth matter though? Did the truth that Ford likely made up the assault by Kavanaugh matter? No, it's all about narratives.


But it's "all over twitter"!?!

How many times do people have to fall for these things before they realize it's just more clickbait garbage?


If it were Trump or Vance and it were all over Twitter, it would automatically be true. What's good for the goose…


Try being better than the left and not falling for obvious bs like this from an account that's purely engagement farming. He's been in public office for 2 decades. There's no way something like this wouldn't have come out already. Plenty of actual things to criticize him for (ex. He's easily the most radical liberal moron we've ever had run for national public office and he should be in prison for his Covid policies) without making stuff up.


If P Diddy and Epstein can get away with hundreds of these types of things for decades why wouldn't this be possible?

People with power have "friends" who suppress for more power.

If they can suppress Hunter Laptop story and creat a Russian Dossier, this is child's play. The main difference being we will not get proof unless there is video and even then they will say it's Ai.


The difference is clearly a lot of people knew about both of those and last I checked the dems weren't nominating either of them for the second most powerful position in the country. There's no way they'd take that risk of something so obvious and easily found when there are plenty of other options for VP. Unless their plan is to dump him last minute for Shapiro or Kelly, in which case republicans should hope this isn't true because either one of them would help Harris a lot more than Walz will.

No clue about this "Next News Network" but they're running with it now.

So this guy either has receipts and they will come out soon or he's completely FOS.

If this does prove to be true Harris must have the worst vetting process in the world. Of course her results as "Border Czar" doesn't really help her case.

Dubious. While they will run stories using the news wires like AP, but also run stories from much more dubious sources including Russia's state news outlets, and known fake news websites.

What this is is circular reporting. Random Twitter account makes a claim/accusation and others simply repeat it, often with more and more embellished headlines. That is the same thing the left did to "verify" the Russia hoax.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

That's the same account that posted the "affidavit" they claimed proved CBS colluded with the Harris Campaign. It ended up being a whole lotta nothing.


The problem with the conservative/liberal twittersphere is that they are all gunning for engagement because that equals a potential payment for them. It doesn't matter if it's factual or not so long as it drives the views and interactions.

And because twitter is a supposedly free speech platform, the amount of misinformation is rampant with nothing done to curtail it.

So you see people post something like this and it bounces around the political echo chamber making it seem like it must have some legitimacy. When really it's just a bunch of people repeating the exact same thing and adding "huge if true" to it because it's straight up engagement bait.

Look at this thread, some many people are accepting it as truth without bothering to stop and consider whether or not it is. All because someone who paid for a blue checkmark posted it on twitter.


Walz could easily disavow the groomers. Walz is hiding, not a good look. Just another disgusting groomer.


You don't lend credibility to a fake story by commenting on. That's pretty standard PR
Completely disagree.

The best way to know someone is lying is not what they say it's what they don't say.

Innocent people state unequivocally they are innocent and dare the other side to put up or shut up.

Tim could hold a press conference right now and state as matter of public record that he has never, ever, had any sort of sexual or otherwise inappropriate relationship or encounter with a minor. He could even throw in that he is in fact heterosexual and has never engaged in homosexual activity. Doing so puts the ball back in the other court. If he's telling the truth, it's done and the other side looks stupid.


He would then spend all of his time responding to bull ***** It's a waste of his time. If this grows legs, then maybe he will say something. But right now it's a bunch of random accounts on Twitter making a claim with nothing to back it up.

Walz hiding making him more suspect that the story does have legs. He can simply disavow the rumors and has chosen not to disavow groomers. This is now a problem for the Harris campaign tacitly supporting grooming platform.

I can't imagine this is true. Even after the entire vetting process that he passed, "Hey, Tim. Is there anything else in your past which might torpedo Kamala's presidential campaign should it come to light? Anything at all?"

If it is true, everyone involved at the time is being paid hush money or threatened or both, and there will never be solid evidence.
I doubt the democrats worried too much about his past. I mean they have come to expect (and actually get) a pass for anything and everything. They are scum.

In fact, a guy who was a groomer would be viewed as much a hero by the dems as would an abortion doctor.

The fine people lie is one of the worst. It wasn't like Trump clarified his statement the next day. Nope, he mentioned the historians, said there were fine people on both sides and then said "I'm not talking about neo-Nazis or White Nationalist, who I condemn totally."

Yet the legacy media gleefully ran it OVER AND OVER without mentioning that he condemned them. Must be nice to have the MSM gaslight millions of folks into thinking Trump thought neo-Nazis were fine people.

Of course it's on purpose. They can't defend their policies so just point at Trump and call him a racist.

That would explain why some areas are in focus and some are not. You can get that effect with a camera, but with a camera, everything equidistant from the lens would have the same focus, and everything in front and behind would be out

Makes no sense for the faces to be that sharp, and the shirts fuzzy

Not only have they not disavowed it, Walz's wife did a friendly interview where she brought up them taking the gay boy to the concert several weeks ago. In retrospect it feels like that was them trying to get in front of it softly.

Answer honestly: if it turns out that Walz raped young boys, you'll still vote for him and Harris, right?

And your response makes no sense. There has been no rash of Twitter accounts making up stuff.

He was accused of stolen valor and numerous lies about his military service, which is true. That's been it up until this allegation.

I'd be very disappointed and would hope she would replace him if she won. But yes I would still vote for Harris. I'm sure if the same thing happened with JD Vance, most Trump supporters would still vote for him.

As far as twitter is concerned, lol. Have you been on twitter in the past, well ever really? I mean just the other day there was a thread on this board pointing to a tweet claiming Tim Walz was bi polar. Numerous people have claimed he was gay because he sponsored the LGBTQ club at his school. The tweet above posted an edited photo. The one responding to it said he was fired from alliance high school, implying because he was inappropriate with kids. Alliance was the school he was at when he was arrested for drunk driving, which he fully admits to. He said he offered to resign, but as best as I can tell he wasn't fired but left the next year.

The fact this lib would even ask the question just illuminates this ridiculous notion that Trump supporters are a cult and don't care if kids are raped if it's done by "our side." Absolutely disgusting and what's equally disgusting is the thousands of children trafficked over the border made possible by Border Czar Kamala.
