Well, here we are again with yet another story about Tim Walz and his endless stream of lies. This man’s entire life is one big fraud. Who can forget the recent bombshell exposing Tim Walz’s years of stolen valor lies? Even with the evidence piled neck-high, he still won’t own up to it. And now, another scandal has emerged—this time surrounding Tim’s false claims that he and his wife used IVF to have their children. Of course, Tim’s using this as an attack line against J.D. Vance’s anti-IVF stance. The problem is that none of it’s true.
In fact, even The New York Times was forced to admit that “Tampon Tim” lied again. The Times wrote a piece acknowledging the truth: “Unlike in vitro fertilization, the procedure used by the Walz’s does not involve freezing embryos, so it has not been targeted by anti-abortion leaders.”
Here’s more detail on what the Walz’s actually did, which again is not IVF, as Tim is claiming (and crying about) on the campaign trail.
As Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota has introduced himself to Americans through stump speeches across the country in recent weeks, he has alluded to a journey through infertility for his family while warning that conservatives want to restrict in vitro fertilization.
“Even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves, there’s a golden rule: Mind your own damn business,” Mr. Walz said on the night that Vice President Kamala Harris introduced him in their first joint rally in Philadelphia. “Look, that includes I.V.F. And this gets personal for me and my family.”
Many have assumed that his family relied on I.V.F. to conceive their two children. Several news outlets, including The New York Times, The Associated Press and The Minnesota Star Tribune, have reported that the family relied on in vitro fertilization. Fertility advocates concluded as much after hearing Mr. Walz talk. In April, the Tim Walz for Governor campaign office mailed out a fund-raising letter in an envelope that read: “My wife and I used I.V.F. to start a family.’’
But when asked if the Walzes wanted to share more details about their effort to conceive, the Harris-Walz campaign recently clarified that the couple did not rely on I.V.F. but rather another common fertility procedure called intrauterine insemination, or I.U.I.
The treatments have a key distinction: Unlike I.V.F., I.U.I. does not involve creating or discarding embryos. And so anti-abortion leaders are not trying to restrict the treatment.
But it’s far more politically beneficial for “Tampon Tim” to claim his family used IVF—just so he can score political brownie points. So he lies, and then he lies some more. Take a look:
THREAD: In addition to his military career & drunk driving arrest, there’s another topic about which @Tim_Walz has been lying for political purposes —the conception of his own children. Since IVF treatments entered the news earlier this year, Walz has been repeatedly claiming he & his wife owe their two children to IVF. But today both CNN & the NYT confirm the Walzes did not in fact use IVF.
Here’s Walz a month ago on Chris Hayes’s show: “Today is IVF day. Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children.”

[IVF] is personal for my wife and I. When Gwen & I decided to have children, we went through years of fertility treatments. The phone would ring, tenseness in my stomach, & then the agony when you heard the treatments hadn’t worked. So it wasn’t by chance that when we welcomed our first child, our beautiful daughter, we named her Hope.”

But it doesn’t end there. As a matter of fact, the Kamala HQ X account is also spreading Tampon’s “Stolen IVF Valor” lies.
Gov.@Tim_Walz : If it was up to JD Vance, I wouldn’t have a family because of IVF. Democrats are investing in prenatal care. We’re the ones that are for universal pre-K. We’re the ones that are providing school meals. I’m not gonna back down one bit on this whole family values thing. We’re making it more affordable to have children by having paid family and medical leave. Where is JD Vance’s program?

What are the chances Team Kamala will have to issue yet another statement claiming Tim “misspoke”? That’s the excuse they trotted out to cover his shameful stolen valor lies, and it’s probably what they’ll have to do with Tim’s stolen IVF valor, too.
It’s to the point now where you can’t trust a single word that slithers out of this snake oil salesman’s mouth. Much like Kamala, Tim Walz is a DNC creation—he’s not real. He’s a chameleon, morphing into whatever he needs to be in the moment to “sell” himself to gullible, low-info voters who won’t bother to dig into his background and will take his every word as gospel. But that strategy isn’t going to fly. “Tampon Tim” will be called out for every lie that spews from his mouth. And since this campaign is just getting started, we have a feeling we’ll be very busy exposing his lies.
