There's a lot of red flags here.
Many viewers wondered why Gov. Tim Walz was asked about being in China during the period of the Tiananmen Square massacre. And why he gave a baffling answer about being a kid from a small town.
Normally misspeaking should not be a big deal, but Walz is a serial liar who lied about his military service and the start of his political career. Unlike Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, Walz doesn’t tell senseless random lies that are obviously false. Instead, he lies with the purpose of building up his political career.
So this might have just been a case where Walz was trying to bolster his status. But how does lying about being in Hong Kong do that?
Walz was actually on duty in the National Guard at the time he claimed to be overseas.
Questions have been raised and remain unanswered about his relationship with the Chinese government over the years. Back in August, Freedom Center Investigates dug into some of those relationships. There are many red flags there, but an obvious one is that Walz had developed a relationship with a ChiCom official who then financed his tour group.
