Truth : Tim Walz was never hospitalised after ingesting horse semen!
This is yet another example of fake news about Governor Tim Walz, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : West Point Daily News photo is fake
If Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was once hospitalised, and had his stomach pumped, after ingesting horse semen, it would have been widely reported.
However, this viral claim was based solely on a photo of what appears to be an old clipping from a newspaper called West Point Daily News. Here’s an excerpt:
“Local Man’s Stomach Pumped After ‘Neigh’-borhood Dare Goes Wrong”
Nebraska Man Hospitalized After Unusual OverIngestion Incident
August 30, 1965 West Point, NE
In a bizarre and unprecedented medical emergency, Tim Walz, a local resident of West Point, Nebraska, was rushed to West Point General Hospital last night after reportedly overingesting horse semen. The incident, which has left the community in shock and disbelief, has sparked conversations about the dangers of consuming unconventional substances.
Emergency responders were called to Mr. Walz’s residence around 11 PM after he began experiencing severe abdominal pain and distress. According to paramedics on the scene, Mr. Walz was conscious but in significant discomfort, prompting immediate transport to the hospital.
Dr. Amanda Thompson, the attending physician at West Point General, confirmed that Mr. Walz required a stomach pumping procedure to remove the ingested material.
As shocking as this news report may appear, the photo is fake, and there is no such news report.

Fact #2 : West Point Daily News does not exist
There is no newspaper that goes by the name of West Point Daily News. There is a newspaper called West Point News, but it has never published such an article.
Fact #3 : West Point General Hospital does not exist
There is also no hospital in West Point, Nebraska, called the West Point General Hospital.
Fact #4 : Dr. Amanda Thompson does not exist in Nebraska
Needless to say, there is no evidence of a Dr. Amanda Thompson that works in that non-existent hospital, or in any other hospital in West Point, Nebraska.
Politifact went further – searching on Nebraska’s Health and Human Services Department website for Amanda Thompson. It only found six entries for medication aides, nurse aides, pharmacist interns, and pharmacy technicians, but no doctors with the name Amanda Thompson.
Fact #5 : Tim Walz lived more than 560 km away in 1995
It would be impossible for Tim Walz to be hospitalised in West Point, Nebraska in 1995, because he was living in Alliance, Nebraska – more than 560 kilometres away, at that time.

Fact #6 : Photo of Tim Walz was taken a year later
It is also impossible for a newspaper to use that photo of Tim Walz in an August 1995 report, because that photo was only taken sometime in 1996, while Walz was teaching history and coaching football at the Mankato West High School.
Mankato, incidentally, is in Minnesota, and about 400 km away from West Point, Nebraska.
The fake news creator appears to have taken that old photo of Tim Walz from a KSTP-TV news story on “Tim Walz’s early life in Minnesota”.
Fact #7 : This is just political fake news
Ultimately, this is yet another example of political fake news surrounding the upcoming 2024 US Presidential election. Here are some other examples I fact checked recently:
- Did Joe Biden + Kamala Harris offer 9/11 terrorists plea deal?!
- Elon Musk shares fake, digitally-altered Kamala Harris video!
- Is President Biden dead or hospitalised in critical condition?!
- Kamala Harris described herself as woman wearing blue suit?!
- Is Kamala Harris Not Eligible To Become US President?!
- Did Joe Biden quit over failed plot to assassinate Donald Trump?!
- Did Kamala Harris say “Today is today” in viral video?!
- Did WEF memo reveal 3 more Trump assassination attempts?!
As the 2024 US Presidential election draws close, you can expect more of such fake news to appear, so be wary and skeptical!
