Walz’s claim that he was in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square protests undercut by unearthed newspaper reports​

Newly unearthed reports contradict previous claims made by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about his travel to China, including a claim that the Democratic vice presidential nominee was in Hong Kong for a teaching position in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests that ended in hundreds of protesters killed by the Chinese government.

Walz had previously said he visited Hong Kong in “May of ’89,” weeks before the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. ...
But contemporaneous newspaper reports first resurfaced by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news outlet, place Walz in Nebraska around that time. An issue of the Alliance Times-Herald dated May 16, 1989, features a photo of Walz touring a Nebraska National Guard storeroom... A separate newspaper article about Walz’s planned trip to China published by a Nebraska-based outlet in April 1989 reported that he planned to travel to China in early August of that year.
~Snip~
When asked by CNN if Walz was in China during the Tiananmen Square protests, the Harris campaign was unable to provide evidence to substantiate Walz’s claim.
The contradiction was first reported by Minnesota Public Radio News and APM Reports...
~Snip~
The inconsistencies around Walz’s travel to China and Hong Kong mark the latest instance in which the governor’s past comments have been revealed to be inaccurate since he became the Democratic vice presidential nominee. In August, a Harris campaign spokesperson said Walz “misspoke” in a 2018 video in which he said he handled assault weapons “in war.”
Later that month, Gwen Walz clarified that the couple had used a fertility treatment other than in vitro fertilization to conceive after her husband had suggested they had used IVF.


Commentary:
Time Walz, the consumate Commie liar.
Surprisingly this is coming from CNN. One would think that a story like this, detrimental to the Democrat Neo-Marxist ideological greed for power.
Also, it's hard to fight against news articles published at the time. No reason for a cover up back in 1989.
Like his statements of stolen valor Tim Walz is in the run for who is lying more. His running mate Harris or Tampon Tim himself.

Tampon Tim has something in common with Joe Biden. He can't remember where he was and when.

That's okay, I don't mind merging the the posts.

I heard Tim said he was there when the tank came down the road and the only thing that stopped him from stepping in front of the tank was a Chinese boy who beat him to it. Walz is an idiot but he's not as bad as Harris. MAGA

Walz is a liar and a coward.
