Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) said over the weekend that he does not believe that anyone cares about the numerous lies that he has been caught telling.

Walz made the remarks during a “Fox News Sunday” interview with host Shannon Bream when confronted over numerous lies he’s told that have been exposed since he became Vice President Kamala Harris’ vice presidential running mate.

Walz has claimed that his lies were nothing more than him making “misstatements.”

“You’ve modified your story or explained that you misspoke about things involving your military rank, about carrying a weapon in war, your 1995 DUI arrest, using IVF to have your beautiful children, being in Hong Kong and China in the summer of 1989 during the Tiananmen events,” Bream said.

“A lot of people would say they couldn’t get away with saying, ‘I’m just too passionate. My grammar is not right. I’m a knucklehead,'” Bream continued. “What do you say to the American people who think I don’t know that I can trust this guy with all those modifications to be the potential commander in chief of this country?”

Walz responded by saying that he believes that people “heard” him “speaking passionately” about issues where he made false claims.

“I don’t think people care whether I used IUI or IVF,” he continued, before lying again when he falsely claimed that former President Donald Trump opposed IVF and other similar treatments.

He claimed that he was very proud of his record and that he has “never disparaged” someone else, even though he has repeatedly lied about Trump on the campaign trail.

He claimed that he would “own up when I misspeak.”

Bream responded: “And if we’re going to deal in truth, both the president, the former president, and his nominee, have said that they are very supportive of IVF.”
