Walz is at it again. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz continues to prove that when his lips are moving, the truth is usually nowhere to be found. Sort of like Kamala Harris—except with Harris, you get a bonus: the hyena cackle.
So, what’s Walz peddling this time? During a rally in North Carolina, Walz decided to recycle the tired, false claim that Donald Trump is out to create a government entity to monitor pregnancies in order to enforce abortion bans. Yeah, he actually said that. Of course, it’s a blatant lie—but that’s just par for the course with these folks, right? More on that in a second.
Now, if this sounds familiar, it’s because Kamala Harris was pushing the exact same nonsense during the Democratic National Convention in August. And again during that “presidential debate” on ABC, where three moderators took turns playing defense for the Democrats. Unsurprisingly, no one fact-checked her claims there either. Apparently, in their world, Trump’s planning to install some kind of “pregnancy czar” to track every woman across the country, just waiting to pounce if they don’t carry to term. Laughable, right? Yet, here we are.
Let’s get one thing straight: Trump has never called for a national abortion ban or suggested federal pregnancy surveillance. In fact, he’s refused to say whether he would even support such a ban. But that doesn’t stop Walz from spreading his fairy tale to whip the pro-abortion crowd into a frenzy.
Here’s Walz’s whopper again: “Trump is trying to create this new government entity that will monitor all pregnancies to enforce their abortion ban.” How to put this delicately? It’s pure, unfiltered garbage. A lie, cooked up to scare people and boost those ever-dwindling Democrat approval ratings.
Tim Walz is now claiming in all of his stump speeches that President Trump will “create a new government entity that will monitor all pregnancies.”
That is not a thing that Trump has ever once said that he plans on doing.

This isn’t even a new trick. The same lie made rounds back in May when USA Today fact-checked a post from the far-left group Occupy Democrats. The claim? That Trump told Time magazine he’d force constant government monitoring on pregnant women in his second term. “A vote for Trump is a vote for The Handmaid’s Tale!” screamed the post. No surprise—it racked up thousands of shares within hours, along with wild retweets from leftist darlings like Harvard Professor Laurence Tribe.
Well, guess what? It’s false. In reality, Trump told Time that abortion policies—including any monitoring of pregnancies—should be left to the states. He didn’t propose it, didn’t endorse it, didn’t say anything remotely like the hysteria Walz and Harris are pushing.
Even the famously left-leaning Snopes had to throw in the towel on this one. Their rating? False. Big surprise there. But do Walz or Harris care? Of course not. They’ll keep repeating this lie over and over because they know it’s great fodder for low-information voters who believe whatever comes out of their mouths. They don’t even need it to be true—they just need enough people to think it could be.
Here’s a few real time fact checks that Walz is telling pure lies:

This is a textbook example of the Democrats’ playbook. If they’re not outright lying, they’re twisting reality beyond recognition. It’s all part of the plan to keep their narrative alive. And they count on the media to back them up, no matter how far-fetched their claims get. These are the same folks who still insist Trump’s rhetoric somehow inspired two assassination attempts on him because that’s their go-to move: create a villain, then blame him for everything.
So here we are, watching the same old circus play out. Walz, Harris, and the rest of the Democratic crew are spinning fiction while pretending it’s a fact. But as long as they’ve got the media on their side, they can get away with it.
