Walz’s claim that he was in China 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 traveled to China for a teaching position in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests...

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.

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.

If obama can say he was at Selma, Hellary was dodging bullets at the airport and Kamala worked at McD’s, then surely Walz was at Tiananmen Square supporting the government.

I think he changed planes in California and got a quick bite at the McDonalds that Kamala was working at.

She said, “Hey white man from the flat lands. Some day you and I will be running for President and Vice President together.”

(actually said, “you want fries with your big mac to make it a meal. It won’t be a happy meal because that’s only for kids but you can still be happy if you get fries with you sandwich you can have a happy meal but just not a Happy Meal (trademarked).
