The Washington Post gave Democrat Gov. Tim Walz (MN) “four Pinocchios” in a Thursday fact-check for lying about Republican Sen. JD Vance (OH) during a recent campaign event.

Walz, who’s been slated to be Kamala Harris’ VP pick, claimed Vance, Donald Trump’s VP pick, is not pro-worker and has “never cast a vote on a pro-worker bill in his life.”

“I’ll tell you, [Trump’s] running mate, I don’t know if that was a value-add to this campaign or not, but he’s one of four senators, four, that has never cast a vote on a pro-worker bill in his life. Not once,” Walz said Tuesday to a union audience. “A stopped clock’s right twice a day, this guy can’t get it right once, not once, for workers.”

“The only thing those two guys know about working people is how to work to take advantage of them,” the governor added.

The Post said they were “struck” by such false language from Walz and suggested he borrowed the talking point directly from a far-Left interest group. The Democrat earned four Pinocchios for the remarks — the most a false rating can receive.

“We were struck that Walz said that Vance was one of four senators who had never cast a vote for a pro-worker bill,” the fact-check said. “That was rather specific and sounded as if he was borrowing from a legislative scorecard compiled by an organization or interest group.”

Walz’s “source” for the attack “was a union report card that covered only two bills in one year,” the Post continued. “Vance has voted for at least two bills that helped workers and had union support.”

Walz’s claim that Vance knows nothing about working people was also untrue, the fact-check said, noting it was literally the “subject of his book,” “Hillbilly Elegy.”

Since becoming a senator, Vance has pushed pro-worker and pro-family legislation. Notably, just last month, the Republican was praised by Teamsters President Sean O’Brien for caring about working people and supporting pro-worker legislation.

This was not Walz’s first fib against Vance. Walz suggested a false, vulgar smear about Vance and a “couch” was true during his first rally with Vice President Kamala Harris. The comment was so false and egregious that CNN’s Jake Tapper brought it up on his show, calling it a “gross smear.”
