Tim Walz called Hitler-promoting cleric a ‘master teacher’ at Islamic center event

News of the footage comes after a spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign said in a Friday statement that Walz does not “have a personal relationship” with Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota.

At several of those events, Zaman also spoke before Walz.
