Republicans Amplify False Claims About Gov. Walz's Dog to Attack His Credibility

Republicans have seized on an incident involving Minnesota Governor Tim Walz at a dog park nearly three years ago, using it to launch attacks against the Democratic vice presidential nominee. This strategy is part of a broader effort to undermine Walz's credibility by spreading false narratives online. The claims suggest that Walz lied about aspects of the outing, though these allegations are unfounded. This tactic highlights the growing concern over how misinformation online can have tangible impacts on political discourse and public perception.
