Throughout a 2014 congressional listening to, then-Rep. Tim Walz (D-MN) bragged about being in Hong Kong on the time of the 1989 Tiananmen Sq. Bloodbath.
There’s only one drawback…
He wasn’t.
He was in Nebraska on the time.
Right here he’s boasting (as soon as once more) about one thing that isn’t true:
As a younger man I used to be simply going to show highschool in Foshan in Guangdong, and was in Hong Kong in Could of ’89. And because the occasions have been unfolding, a number of of us went in. And I nonetheless bear in mind the practice station in Hong Kong. There was a lot of, particularly European, I believe, very indignant that we’d nonetheless go after what had occurred, nevertheless it was my perception at the moment that the diplomacy was going to occur on many ranges. Actually individuals to individuals, and the chance to be in a Chinese language highschool at that essential time appeared to me to be actually necessary. And it was a really fascinating summer time to say the least.
Besides…
“Contemporaneous information stories present Walz touring a Nationwide Guard storeroom in Alliance, Nebraska, in Could 1989,” stories the Washington Free Beacon. “They point out that Walz didn’t depart the US till August of that yr, at the least two months after the scholar protests ended with the Tiananmen Sq. bloodbath.”
Because the Beacon factors out, far-left NPR found the lie, however naturally, the taxpayer-funded welfare queens buried it below some 30 paragraphs:
Walz additionally as soon as described being in Hong Kong in Could 1989, throughout the pupil rebellion that culminated within the Tiananmen Sq. bloodbath — an assertion that’s belied by newspaper accounts on the time. …The marketing campaign was unable to provide documentation to again up Walz’s assertion that he was there throughout the rebellion.
The Beacon additionally factors out that leftist shops just like the New York Occasions have reprinted Walz’s self-serving Tiananmen Sq. lie with out bothering to fact-check it. That known as taking dictation, versus performing journalism.
Hear, being in Hong Kong throughout one thing as historic as Tiananmen Sq. just isn’t one thing you overlook or misremember. Everyone knows the place we have been on September 11, 2001. Hell, I bear in mind the place I used to be after I first noticed that protester try to dam the tank.
The one factor that may make Walz’s newest lie much more excellent can be if he have been to assert he labored at a Hong Kong McDonald’s throughout the bloodbath.
What doesn’t Kamala Harris’s vice presidential selection lie about?
He claimed he carried weapons in struggle though he by no means noticed fight as a member of the Minnesota Nationwide Guard. Walz lied about his 1995 DUI arrest—one thing a couple of misunderstanding on account of Walz’s deafness (in all probability from all that fight he by no means participated in) and that he was not consuming. However he was consuming. A blood check confirmed his alcohol degree at .128. For years, Walz has repeatedly claimed he retired from the Nationwide Guard at a better rank than he really did.
This man is pathological.
Tonight’s vice presidential debate must be fascinating. JD Vance is dynamite in these settings and has a ton of ammo to hit this serial-lying clown with.
