Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 8, 2026 — A “Truth Test” analysis conducted in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region has determined that a television advertisement targeting DFL gubernatorial candidate Amy Klobuchar is misleading and inaccurate. The analysis assigned the ad a grade of C-.
According to the findings, the ad made specific claims that were found to be false. It alleged that Klobuchar facilitated fraud and the funding of terrorism. However, the “Truth Test” evaluation indicated that the actions attributed to Klobuchar were in fact related to supporting legal remittance services.
The evidence presented within the advertisement was also scrutinized and found to be either outdated or discredited, further contributing to its classification as misleading. The “Truth Test” is a journalistic effort aimed at evaluating the factual accuracy of claims made in political advertising.
