US Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz has faced criticism for his past interactions with Minnesota Imam Asad Zaman, who praised Hamas and shared controversial content. Walz’s campaign clarified that he had no personal ties with Zaman and strongly condemned Hamas. Despite Zaman’s past endorsements and social media posts, Walz has been supported by some Minnesota Jewish leaders for his overall record. The Anti-Defamation League has urged public officials to distance themselves from Zaman due to his problematic views.
