Tim Walz, Minnesota governor and Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, has received a lot of criticism for fudging details of his military service. That's definitely worthy of scrutiny, but something else that Walz said in an interview in late 2022 deserves attention, too. "There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy," he told MSNBC. Walz is wrong. We do have a broad guarantee of free speech under the U.S. Constitution, and that includes misinformation and hate speech. Walz probably missed the irony, but his misinformation on free expression is protected speech.
