evidence: Right-wing media falsely claim that Gov. Tim Walz created a protected class for perpetrators of child sexual assault [...] Following Vice President Kamala Harris' announcement that she had selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, right-wing media falsely tried to paint Walz as an extremist by narrowing in on his support for LGBTQ constituents. In addition to targeting Walz's policies on gender-affirming care and menstrual equity, right-wing media also recycled old strands of anti-LGBTQ misinformation, falsely accusing Walz of having created a protected class for perpetrators of child sexual assault even though legal experts and state representatives have debunked such claims.
