Vance(44 percent unfavorable, 38 percent favorable.)

So naturally the MAGA movement wants to take Walz down a peg.

A public figure since 2006, Walz has occasionally magnified his accomplishments.

Not So Outstanding?

The Free Beacon pointed to a contemporaneous letter by the Chamber saying it had never bestowed such an honor.

The story traveled widely among right-wing media, including toFox News, theNew York PostandNewsmax.

The attacks on Walzs service are three-fold and all quite thin.

This can be spun as an exaggeration, on a technicality.

The Harris campaign, which initiated the confusion with itsparaphraseof Walzs remarks, has since said Walz misspoke.

Manhandling Gus?

Who lies about something like that?

In truth, IVF is often used as a catch-call for assistive reproductive technology including IUI.

Both procedures are performed at what would colloquially be called an IVF clinic.

Both procedures are targets of far-right hate because they create embryos that may not result in pregnancy.

IVF is generally regarded as more problematic by abortion foes, because unused or unhealthy embryos are sometimes discarded.

(Dont have a go at make it make sense.)

But then stood in the entry way to chat for another 75 minutes!Which is it Tim?

Do you gotta head out or not??

Too Cozy With China?

Walz long had an interest in China over the course of his career as an educator.

He taught English there and has led numerous student trips to the country.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.)

has also attempted to attack Walz using ammunition that blew up in his face.
