Tim Walz on China: lying then, or lying now?
Or both?
The story, according to Minnesota Public Radio and the Walz campaign:
Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz “was so proud of his extensive experience” traveling to China that he “occasionally used to exaggerate it” by claiming to have visited the communist country twice as often as he actually did, Minnesota Public Radio reported on Monday.
Walz went on around 15 trips to China in the 1990s and early 2000s—rather than over 30, as he stated earlier in his political career—his campaign told Minnesota Public Radio this week.
Why is Walz pulling back on his “old China hand” credentials? Because the House Oversight Committee is investigating the nature of his longtime ties to China.
I guess that what appeals to the voters of Minnesota doesn’t sound so great on the national stage. So Tim adjusts the story accordingly.
I doubt it appeals to Minnesotans either. It’s just that the media there consists of outlets which only cover local news and regime outlets which are extensions of the press agentry of Democratic pols. They only cover someone critically when they’re contending with other Democrats.

Anyone ask which agency financed all that traveling?
Lying always.
As such, Nutz is the PERFECT Democratic candidate for VPOTUS.
(Well I’ll have to qualify that: almost as perfect as his predecessor….)
Walz has serious issues and was never vetted by the Obama geniuses running Kamala.
Mike+K (5:47 pm) said: “Walz has serious issues and was never vetted by the Obama geniuses . . . .”
There was/is no need for such vetting. He has been vetted by the legacy media and has not been found wanting. (Surprise surprise.)
A real Manchurian Candidate. Truly, truth can be stranger than fiction.
Tim Walz lie and grossly exaggerate his record?!
I shan’t believe it!
I simply shannot!
One of the Alliance, NE high school kids that went on one of those trips said the Tampon Tim bragged about buying Mao’s Little Red book.
Walz is a Commie.
The Manchurian Candidate sure wishes he spent more time in Mao’s world
I’m going with “both.”
Lips moving…lying.

Waiting for Karmila to spin this against Trump.
This is simply amazing!
From the “Hey Don’t Blame Me, I Was Sleepwalking” File…
“Kamala Harris says insomnia hit after Biden dropped out, was sleep deprived the day of Walz pick.”—

…as though Harris was the one who actually picked that creep….
Sheesh. It’s just one lie after the other with these psychopaths….

Has this astonishing piece by Matt Taibbi been linked to here yet?
It’s the whole battle in a nutshell; the whole existential conflict currently wracking the West in general and the US in particular packed into one (extended) column.
Simply astounding. A genuine tour de force…from the gut.
I only came across it just now…so one way or the other, here it is:

I’d like to believe I’m more like Antonin Scalia when he said he didn’t hate people, he hated ideas. Walz is putting me to the test. I didn’t hate Obama, Clinton (either one), Gore, Kerry, etc. but I sure disliked their ideas. But something about this guy strikes me as just plain evil. I wish I could hit the Powerball so I could afford a great psychiatrist to explain why he is able to bother me so much when few others can. BTW, I’m only half kidding with this post.
I guess the State Dept database on Passports could give an answer.
While we are all here, My Wife and I would like to announce that, being Patriots, we are voting for Harris because that is what true Patriots do, according to the NYT.
I’ve lived in rural Minnesota for thirty-three years. People around here knew Tim Walz was too big for his britches from the get go. The Democrats try to portray him as a country boy, but he was never comfortable up here in “The Land of Rocks and Cows.” One of the main attractions at the Minnesota State Fair this year was the “Never Walz” booth.
The main newspaper here, the Star Tribune, carried hardly any negative stories about Walz. But now that he’s national news, competent journalists are digging into his past. Minnesotans are finally hearing the truth, and a lot of them will vote for Trump as a vote against Walz.
Another Minnesotan here.
We’re taking huge enjoyment from the fact that the local media – the Mpls Star Tribune in the forefront – did such a great job of hiding the real Timmy W from MN voters that Kammi’s vetting people also missed the bad stuff.
So, the Strib is responsible for whatever harm Walz’s newly-publicized faults cause to Kammi’s campaign! Schadenfreude moment!
Anyone remember Tom Eagleton? The same thing may be happening here. I can’t think of any other reason for her to admit she was pretty much sleep walking when she picked this evil communist.
I spent the better part of 20 years in Minnesota, so I know the territory. Walz strikes me as one of these Prairie Progressives like Anna Louise Strong, who never seemed to meet a communist she didn’t admire, a thin-skinned creature of the teachers union’s left wing that controls the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. (Which farmers and most labor outside the Iron Range can’t stand.)
In his favor, one of my clients tells me Mr. Walz was his popular and energetic 10th grade social studies teacher in Mankato, so Walz has that going for him.
If this “I was soooooooo tired” gambit works, I suspect we’ll be seeing something like that to explain her relationship with Willie Brown. “I was sooooooo tired, I fell asleep and when I woke up, there he was with his pork roast marinating in my hoo-hah.”
