Comer: Very Possible China ‘Grooming’ Walz to Get a Foothold in U.S. Government

Jeff Poor 21 Aug 2024

Tuesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, expressed his concern about a potential link between Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and the Chinese government.

According to the Kentucky Republican, Walz may see the Chinese system of government as an ideal model for the United States and that China is “grooming” him with long-term goals.

“If an American goes to China 30 times in the ’90s, they have surveillance footage of him,” FNC host Jesse Watters said. “They have surveillance footage, probably of his honeymoon night. What kind of compromise is that? They were worried about Trump in a pee tape situation, but that was all made up. This is serious business.”

“It’s very serious. China thinks long-term,” Comer replied. “It’s very possible that China would be grooming an up-and-coming, rising star in the political process to try to have a foothold in our government. I mean, they’ve done this in the military. We’ve caught them with spy rings in our universities.”

“This is how China operates,” he continued. “They think long-term. And again, I can’t say this enough. When you look at Hunter Biden’s ties with Communist China, it was for money. It looks like Walz’ ties may be for ideology, and this is something that we should be concerned about, and we’re trying to gather as much information as we can, as quick as we can, to present to the American people.”

Walz probably should register as an agent of China.

Walz’s claims in 2014 congressional hearing are a tall tale, video and local news reports show

At a 2014 congressional hearing held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Tim Walz, then a congressman representing Minnesota’s first district, recalled being in Hong Kong when the Chinese Communist Party crushed the student protests that had roiled the country since mid-April of 1989. The unforgettable crackdown came on June 4 of that year.

"I was just going to teach high school in Foshan in Guangdong, and was in Hong Kong in May of ‘89," he said. "And as the events were unfolding, several of us went in. And I still remember the train station in Hong Kong." He went on: "There was a large number of, especially European, I think, very angry that we would still go after what had happened, but it was my belief at that time that the diplomacy was going to happen on many levels."

That anecdote has since been repeated, without scrutiny, by the New York Times, CBS News, and National Public Radio, among others. In reality, local news reports show that Walz was at home in Nebraska in May and June of 1989, as protests convulsed China and the government’s response turned the world’s attention to its gross human rights violations. He wouldn’t depart for China until August.

Contemporaneous news reports show Walz touring a National Guard storeroom in Alliance, Nebraska, in May 1989. They indicate that Walz did not leave the United States until August of that year, at least two months after the student protests ended with the Tiananmen Square massacre. ...

30 visits? Honeymoon? He's groomed already.
He's had the prospect tour.
Let him get in a position of power and whatever dirt they have on him will come out to be used as leverage. He'll fold like a house of cards.
The only way to prevent that is to not elect them.
