Shelby Jamerson at MMFA:

Right-wing media figures are attempting to cast vice presidential candidate Tim Walz as a “Radical Leftist Tyrant” who has declared “War on the Constitution” by latching onto one line from a 2022 post-midterms interview in which he described longstanding federal laws against spreading election falsehoods.

In the December 2022 interview, Walz seemingly referenced misinformation campaigns against mail-in ballots and other types of intimidation at the ballot box, saying, “Years ago it was the little things, telling people to vote the day after the election and we kind of brush them off. Now we know it's intimidation at the ballot box. It's undermining the idea that mail-in ballots aren’t legal. I think we need to push back on this. There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.” Right-wing media are now distorting Walz’s words, specifically emphasizing the last part of the statement, “there’s no guarantee to free speech,” and characterizing it as an “attack on [the] First Amendment,” ignoring longstanding federal and state law related to elections. The federal government has long regulated and penalized certain types of misinformation about elections. One federal law makes it unlawful to “conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person” exercising a constitutional or legal right, including the right to vote. Others prohibit conduct like giving false information in voter registration or voting, or voting more than once. 

Pro-election denialist right-wing media wankers baselessly call Minnesota Gov. and Kamala Harris VP pick Tim Walz a “tyrant” for calling out the right’s nefarious misinformation campaign against vote-by-mail in a December 2022 interview on MSNBC’s The ReidOut.

Highest recommendation.

"Conservative Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin thinks that there should be consequences for the 126 Republican House members who gave their name in support of the Supreme Court case from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R).

"Speaking to MSNBC’s María Teresa Kumar on Sunday, Rubin said that several things are necessary to stop election lies from flooding from the conspiracy world to the mainstream."
