10:24Now Playing"In Minnesota last week, Republican Aaron Miller was a surprise victor in the race to take on Rep. Tim Walz (D) this year, and after securing the nomination, Miller talked a bit about why he's running. He mentioned, for example, that he wants to reduce the deficit and repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would be tricky, since repealing the ACA would make the deficit go up quite a bit.
But as the Mankato Free Press noted, that's not the only thing driving Miller's candidacy.
He also called for more religious freedoms. He repeated his story
about his daughter returning home from school because evolution was being taught in her class. He said the teacher admitted to not believing in the scientific theory to his daughter but told her that the government forced him to teach the lesson.
"We should decide what is taught in our schools, not Washington D.C.," Miller said.
Miller has declined to provide any more information to verify his story.
As Tim Murphy noted, this wasn't the first time Miller, a hospital account manager and Iraq War veteran, "recounted this tale -- it's a staple of his stump speech."
