Democrat defends Tim Walz after resurfaced video shows him praising controversial Muslim leader

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz praised Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz as a fighter against hate and antisemitism as he faces questions about his relationship with a controversial imam.

The Democratic candidate for vice president, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, posted to X on Wednesday agreeing to a debate Oct. 1 on CBS News.

Walz's reply came in response to CBS News listing potential dates in an X post for Walz and Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance to debate on the network.

Tim Walz re-posted the graphic, saying "See you on Oct. 1, JD."
