Hong kong was under British rule, there was no rounding up students in hong kong, show you how little liberals know about the world. He is a serial liar like biden and brian williams.

@pikkumatti

As I understand it, the Hong Kong/Tiananmen thing with Walz is even weirder than that.

Walz wasn’t in either Hong Kong or China during the Tiananmen massacre. He was in the US.

The only explanation I can come up with is that Walz has been to China so often he genuinely couldn’t remember when asked but obviously didn’t want to let on that he would have willingly remained in or gone to China during the protest as a guest of the CCP. Saying he was in Hong Kong would let Democrat-friendly media obfuscate that he just misjudged his itinerary if it turned out he actually was in China.

Of course his problem is that he has never had to actually answer even slightly challenging questions so has no ability to come up with remotely plausible lies

Oops.

“So, we have an American politician working to obtain funding for an American organization, the Hormel Institute, which supports and works with a Chinese virology lab that has a history of conducting ethically questionable experiments, and which is very likely the origin of the COVID-19 virus. Now that American politician is a candidate for the second-highest elected position in the land; a heartbeat away from being commander-in-chief of all the armed forces.”

My impression is that around 50% or more of the men in my locale have beards of some kind, especially the younger ones.

More about that negative beard vibe on the Left: see this poster from Feminist News on “How to leave your conservative husband” and note the illustration of a bearded man with a menacing look.

@ Geraghty > “is anyone going to change his or her vote based on how Walz and Vance did?”

Used to be, the rule was that a VP choice had to be really lousy to turn people away from a ticket, and was only a positive in the veep candidate’s own state (although neither of those claims is strictly true).
Now, after the precedent of the Biden abdication (forced or not) and the increasing likelihood that President Trump 47 will be a continual assassination target ups the importance of the Vice President choice tremendously.
