<p>Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) lied over the weekend about his past remarks where he claimed a couple of years ago that there was &#8220;no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve said there&#8217;s no guarantee of free speech for misinformation or hate speech,&#8221; &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; host Shannon Bream opressed Walz, referring to his remarks in a 2022 MSNBC interview. &#8220;But first of all, the Supreme Court was very clear in a unanimous 2017 decision that hate speech is protected, that&#8217;s the kind of stuff that needs to be protected, stuff none of us like to hear.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But more importantly, who gets to decide on the issue of what misinformation is?&#8221; she asked.</p>
<p>WATCH:</p>

<p>Walz responded that he was talking about &#8220;censorship coming in the form of book bannings in different places.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing attempts in schools,&#8221; he claimed. &#8220;The issue on this was the hate speech and the protected hate speech — speech that&#8217;s aimed at creating violence, speech that&#8217;s aimed at threats to individuals. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re talking about in this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The decision on that, society decides on a lot of this, the idea of someone going on and threatening someone&#8217;s life or a child&#8217;s life online,&#8221; he claimed. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think any of your viewers think that that is something that should be acceptable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bream quickly pushed back: &#8220;No. No. No. That&#8217;s not misinformation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a distinction you would say though, between something like a threat and misinformation?&#8221; she pressed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Certainly and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re talking about,&#8221; Walz claimed. &#8220;And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m so opposed to book banning. That&#8217;s why in Minnesota we ban the practice of book banning, but you make the decision of what you&#8217;re going to read, whether you find it objectionable or not. The difference is, is threats, that type of speech.&#8221;</p>
<p>But that is not what Walz was talking about in 2022.</p>
<p>Walz specifically was talking about the issue of voter intimidation, and making false claims about voting when he said that there was &#8220;no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nowhere in the interview did he discuss book bans or threatening children online.</p>
