On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's "The Lead," Minnesota DFL Party Chair Ken Martin discussed 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's (D) untrue statements about his military service and fertility treatments his family used and said that "when we put it into context, what the Governor was saying and what he means is that we need gun control in this country, we need to make sure that weapons of war are not on the streets, we need IVF treatments in this country, we need to make sure that people who are seeking out fertility treatments can get them successfully." And "he misspoke, and it's not an embellishment to say that we sought fertility treatments, it's not an embellishment to say that he actually carried a weapon of war."
