Walz’s China Stories Begin to Unravel, as Harris Campaign Scrambles to Explain Why
Story by Jack Davis • 22h
Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota has made yet another trip to the Great Wall of Exaggeration in describing his visits to China, according to new reports.
As noted by CNN, ever since 2014, Walz has been claiming he was in Asia on June 4, 1989, when the Chinese government launched the brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protesters gathered in Tiananmen Square.
“As a young man, I was just going to teach high school in Foshan in Guangdong, and was in Hong Kong in May of '89,” he said then. “And as the events were unfolding, several of us went in. And I still remember the train station in Hong Kong.”
“The opportunity to be in a Chinese high school at that critical time seemed to me to be really important. And it was a very interesting summer to say the least. Because if you recall, as we moved in that summer and further on and the news blackouts and things that went on, you certainly can’t black out news from people if they want to get it,” he said then.
