(Free Beacon) Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz spoke at an event for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in 2019, where he rubbed shoulders with an anti-Semitic scholar behind much of the Hamas propaganda on college campuses in the wake of Oct. 7, according to photos from the event.

Walz, the governor of Minnesota, appeared at the “Challenging Islamophobia” conference, hosted by CAIR’s Minnesota chapter on March 28, 2019, at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul.
