A video from 2018 has surfaced showing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz referring to a Muslim cleric with controversial views as a “master teacher,” according to reporting by the Washington Examiner.

The footage, which emerged during Walz’s campaign for vice president, contradicts recent statements from his campaign team.

The video, recorded at a Feb. 16, 2018, event hosted by Minnesota’s Muslim American Society, captures Walz praising Asad Zaman, director of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota.

“I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it. Over the time we’ve spent together, one of the things I’ve had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher, to try and get the understanding,” Walz said at the event.

This revelation comes after a spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign stated on Friday that Walz does not “have a personal relationship” with Zaman. The statement was in response to a previous Washington Examiner report detailing how Walz, as governor, had repeatedly hosted the imam at events where Zaman spoke.
