The administration of Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota has come under scrutiny following reports that the state awarded over $2 million to an Islamic group linked to a charity associated with an al Qaeda affiliate. This information was revealed in funding records reviewed by the Washington Examiner. The group in question is reportedly involved in fundraising activities for a charity that has been sanctioned by the United States for its connections to a terrorist organization. The revelation has sparked controversy given the group's ties to a charity linked to al Qaeda. Additionally, a 2018 video has surfaced showing Mr. Walz, who is Kamala Harris' Vice President pick, at an event hosted by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, which is associated with Asad Zaman, during his first gubernatorial campaign.
