“This is Tim Walz tweeting about his dog Scout. Only problem is that these are two completely different dogs,” right-wing columnist Dustin Grage wrote on X.
He shared two photos Walz had previously posted. One photo is from June 2022 and shows Walz with his dog Scout, who is a black labrador mix, and is captioned: “Sending a special birthday shoutout to our favorite pup, Scout.”
The other photo is from October 2022 and shows Walz petting a different dog at a dog park. “Couldn’t think of a better way to spend a beautiful fall day than at the dog park. I know Scout enjoyed it,” the caption reads.
Republicans falsely claimed the photos showed Walz was lying about the dog he’s very much had since 2019.
Sen. Eric Schmidt, R-Mo., wrote that Walz's dog posts were “creepy” and “weird.”
“Wait so Walz is even lying about his dog?” wrote Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host and the fiancee of Donald Trump Jr.
“Tim Walz is an all-time legendary liar,” Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
Rogan O’Handley, a right-wing activist whose account “DC Draino” boasts more than 1.7 million followers, wrote in a since-deleted post that “If Tim Walz would lie about his dog’s name, he’ll lie about literally anything. Can’t put someone like that in charge of nuclear weapons.”

Maybe they deleted those tweets after realizing that, in the second photo, Walz is petting another dog while mentioning his. Horrors.
