Tim Walz Lied About IVF to Score Political Points

The New York Post reported that Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz clarified that she used intrauterine insemination (IUI) rather than in vitro fertilization (IVF) to conceive her children, contradicting previous claims by her husband, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz. Tim Walz had repeatedly suggested, including during campaign events and fundraising appeals, that his family relied on IVF. The correction came after his comments led to widespread assumptions that IVF was involved. The Walz campaign said numerous times that IVF was part of their reproductive journey, misleading the public to score political points against Republicans. In August he said, “If it was up to JD Vance, I wouldn't have a family because of IVF.”

Why does Tim Walz so compulsively lie about every aspect of his life story? It isn’t masculine to hide behind your wife and pretend your family’s fertility struggles are her fault.

If Masculinity Is Bad, Why Didn’t Tim Walz Admit He Ran From War And Couldn’t Father A Child?
For some reason, Tim Walz feels compelled to lie about his military service and obscure the details of his infertility journey.

By now it has become clear that the Democrats’ presidential ticket has simply changed out one old lying white guy for another. The latest revelation is that, despite years of claims otherwise, Tim Walz and his wife, Gwen, didn’t actually conceive their daughter, Hope, with the medically invasive and potentially morally fraught in vitro fertilization (IVF) but instead with the less invasive and less controversial intrauterine insemination (IUI).

The Harris campaign and their surrogates in media have once again clamored to excuse these latest misrepresentations about his life as a minor mix-up with Walz again “misspeaking.” But why did he choose to describe his family’s fertility journey as involving IVF, a procedure that generally points to female infertility, rather than IUI, which tends to highlight male infertility issues? ...

Walz’s continued fabrications raise critical questions: Why would a man in a position of political power feel compelled to lie about his military service and obscure the details of his infertility journey? Whether it’s implying he served in combat when he never did or obscuring the nature of his family’s fertility treatments by opting to present a version that sidesteps any hint of male infertility, these fabrications appear to expose a fundamental insecurity: the fear of being identified as a “beta male.” ...
