MINNEAPOLIS — Hope Walz, daughter of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, took to social media to take a swipe at influential podcaster Joe Rogan and the men among his fanbase after the host cited the former Democratic vice presidential candidate's misstatements about his past for his backing of President-elect Donald Trump.

In a video posted this weekend to her nearly 190,000 TikTok followers, the 23-year-old said a dating "litmus test" for her and her friends is whether "the guy we're talking to follows Joe Rogan on Instagram," adding that's a "red flag and we should probably stop talking to them."

"It's literally never failed us. And at this point, it's like the first thing we do when someone starts talking to a new person. If they follow [Rogan], we're like, yeah, this person probably isn't a great person, probably our values don't align. So we're gonna move on from that," Hope Walz said.
