Tim Walz’s Claim Undercut by Newspaper Reports
Recent news has revealed discrepancies in Tim Walz’s account of his presence in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests. Contrary to his claims, newspaper reports from 1989 indicate that Walz was actually in Nebraska, his home state, at the time of the protests.
Walz had previously stated that he was in Hong Kong in May 1989 and recalled the events unfolding, including the train station in Hong Kong. However, these claims have been contradicted by contemporaneous news reports and a photo of him touring a Nebraska National Guard storeroom.
The Harris-Walz campaign has acknowledged that Walz did not visit China until August 1989, which further undermines his earlier claims. This revelation is likely to be a significant point of scrutiny during the upcoming vice presidential debate.
