Republicans are combing Tim Walz’s record for misstatements. [Aug 24, 2024]
.
"... After the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce sent Mr. Walz a letter in late ***2006*** saying that it had not given him an award and noting that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce had endorsed his Republican opponent, his campaign clarified that the award had come from the Nebraska Junior Chamber of Commerce, and updated his website accordingly [in 2006]. His campaign manager at the time said the missing word had been an unintentional typo. ..." [The entire sequence of events -- Walz announces run for Congress, campaign web site created, notice by Chamber of Commerce, website correction to Junior Chamber of Commerce -- spanned a very short period of time: a few days or weeks?]

[Born and raised in NE. After a stint in TX, he returned to NE and] "After returning, he took a job teaching and coaching in Alliance, a town of ten thousand in western Nebraska, and in 1993, was named Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Junior Chamber of Commerce."

The NYT article includes a hot link called "Mr. Trump regularly tells falsehoods at his public appearances." to http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/04/08/us/politics/trump-speech-mistruths.html

Chief among Trump's lies is that "I won the 2020 Election!" :-)  But Trump also repeatedly claimed to have been named Michigan's "Man of the Year" by the MI Chamber of Commerce ... which NEVER HAPPENED. Perhaps Trump meant to have said, "MI JUNIOR Chamber of Commerce"? Nope, not that either.
.
Here is the FOX story about Trump's lies about "Man of the Year" and more:

Fact check: No evidence for Trump's claim he was once named Michigan's 'Man of the Year' [Aug 2019]
"At a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Thursday, President Donald Trump made a handful of false claims, including returning to a claim he's made since the final days of the 2016 campaign. He said he was once named Michigan's "Man of the Year."  
.
"Trump first publicly uttered the claim on November 6, 2016, two days before the election, when he was making his successful last-ditch effort to win Michigan. "I've been fighting for the car industry for years. I was honored five years ago. Man of the Year in Michigan. That was a great honor for me," he said at a rally in Sterling Heights, Michigan. ... "Trump has repeated versions of the claim at least six times since, including at a roundtable with corporate leaders in Michigan in 2017 and a rally in Wisconsin this April. ...
.
"Trump's boast immediately piqued our interest. So, back in November 2016, we contacted the Trump campaign, dove into news archives and did a bunch of Googling. The Trump campaign never responded. None of the searches brought up anything. HuffPost went on a similar research journey and also found nothing. The website reported that the Michigan Chamber of Commerce said it didn't give out an award like that; Trump was never on the Detroit News's annual "Michiganians of the Year" list; then-Gov. Rick Snyder's office was reportedly no help; Trump had never mentioned the alleged honor on his Twitter feed. ... "
.
"During the rally, Trump also repeated several of the false claims he's been touting throughout his 2020 campaign events, including those around China and tariffs, VA Choice, and payments to Iran. ..."

But there was no such thing as a Michigan Man of the Year Award.

Re: The award was from the Junior Chamber of Commerce  
But Trump!

Your own link has a clarification that in the second picture Walz is petting another dog at a dog park while Scout (the dog pictured at left) plays in the background.
This is a great example of Fester gobbling up more righty lies and spewing them on this board.
Please stop lying, Fester.

I guess the explanation wasn’t good enough for X.
