ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC Ignore Walz’s Relationship With Nazi-Loving Imam

August 14th, 2024 2:05 PM

In a story broken by our friend at The Washington Examiner, Gabe Kaminsky last week, Minnesota Democratic Governor and vice presidential nominee Tim Walz was exposed for having a professional relationship with a radical Islamic imam who hates Israel and loves him some Adolf Hitler. Despite the story being broken the morning of Friday August 9, all three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) and MSNBC had refused to inform their TV audiences going on a week now.

“Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler,” Kaminsky first reported on Friday.

The Nazi-loving imam is Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota. Zaman was on the radar of the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League, a liberal media favorite to cite when it came to targeting and smearing Republicans:

“Imam Zaman has a troubling history of playing into classic anti-Jewish themes and justifying violence against Israel,” an Anti-Defamation League spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.

“He also has justified violence against Israel, including from terror groups,” the ADL spokesperson said. “Given his hurtful remarks post-Oct. 7, and absent any recognition of the pain he has caused the Jewish community, we urge all public officials and leaders to avoid meeting with him in the future. Those who have met with Imam Zaman should clarify that they don’t agree with his toxic views about Jews and the Jewish state.”

 

 

While the broadcast networks completely ignored Walz’s very blatant association with the Nazi-loving imam over the weekend, ABC and CBS seemed to show a possible coordinated effort on their Sunday talk shows when they grill Republican Senator and vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance the same question about former President Trump’s association with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

In a follow-up article on Monday, Kaminsky obtained exclusive video of Walz praising Imam Zaman as a “master teacher.”

“I would like to first of all say thank you to imam. I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it,” he touted the Nazi-lover. “Over the time we’ve spent together, one of the things I’ve had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher, to try and get the understanding.”

Of course, the liberal media’s deafening silence on this story was obviously political. As NewsBusters previously reported, the broadcast networks were too busy cheering on the momentum of the Harris/Walz ticket and gaslighting the American people about Vice President Kamala Harris’s record.

Of the liberal TV outlets, CNN was the only one to mention it. They’ve run multiple stories over multiple shows over multiple days.
