Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been rolling with this odd tidbit which I first heard him convey last month.

Dunno who the CNN guy is that conducted the interview, but he offered no pushback on what was (to be charitable) a dubious claim.
Walz appeared on CNN again the day before the GOP Iowa caucus to reiterate this claim.

Once again, a CNN host allowed this to slide.
My good friend (and occasional NARN fill-in) NASCAR Kelly Gunderson issued a challenge to Minnesota media.
How many members of #MNmedia are going to ask @GovTimWalz for proof of his claim? My searches for evidence of his claim have come up empty. @esmemurphy @JohnCroman @thauserkstp @CaroRCummings @PioneerPress @StarTribune @FOX9 https://t.co/ggghx69LZm

When Donald Trump makes an occasional true claim, the media "fact checkers" will twist themselves into a pretzel to find a flaw in his statement. But when a Democrat makes a fantastical claim against Republicans, it's taken at 100% face value. For all the blubbering certain thumb-sucking media engage in over Trump being this "grand threat to democracy," they blissfully ignore their own role in that destruction by allowing leftist bull pucky to go unchallenged. Democracy dies in darkness, indeed.
