Tim Walz says he ‘got his dates wrong’ with Tiananmen Square lie — says he makes mistakes ‘like everybody else’
New York Post ^ | Oct. 2, 2024 | Diana Glebova

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz tried again Wednesday to explain his repeated false statement that he was in China during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 — telling reporters in Pennsylvania that he “got his dates wrong” and suggesting he makes verbal mistakes “like everybody else.”

Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, was questioned during Tuesday night’s debate over a report that indicated that he was not in Hong Kong like he repeatedly previously claimed — but was actually back home in Nebraska.

“Look, I have my dates wrong. I was in Hong Kong and China in 1989,” Walz said Wednesday. “You’ve seen me. These teachers see me. I speak like everybody else speaks,” he added. “I need to be clearer. I will tell you that.”

Tiananmen Square was such a huge thing for him that he got married on the anniversary date of the massacre, and then spent their honeymoon in China.

Sort of like Bush Sr. saying he can't recall where he was when JFK was killed, or Kerry having been in Cambodia was seared into his memory.

I think that he lies for his own benefit somehow - to make himself feel more important than he really is. Nobody else would care if he was in China at the time. Hardly anybody else would care if he was a Master Sergeant or a Chief Master Sergeant or whatever it was. Nobody else would care if he was THE Coach, or an assistant coach, etc.

Walz does have a varied and impressive background.

In addition to verifying that he is a knucklehead. he was also “ friends with school shooters”.

If we were to lie on a job application regarding dates of past employment, could we get away with his lame-ass excuse? That lie is a form of a job application.

For a man who courageously carried weapons of war in battle and served with his battalion in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and retired with the rank of command sergeant major in the National Guard, you’d think he’d be more careful with his statements. /SARC

ABC’s gentle story included that Walz “technically” did not commit the federal crime of falsifying military service (Stolen Valor is a crime) but should have corrected journalists’ errors.

“These inaccuracies, which at times went uncorrected, include Walz not denying the statement that he served in Afghanistan, and Walz repeatedly saying that he retired with a rank he achieved but did not retire with, as well as an instance in 2018 of Walz claiming that he carried weapons of war “in war,” about which the Harris-Walz campaign said that he misspoke.”

“But I know damn well that I wasn’t anywhere near East Asia when Tienanmen Square happened.”

Really great point. You’d be worried about ripple effects - flights cancelled, it would be on the local news all the time, etc.

Maybe like being in California during a major quake. If you were there when it happened for sure you would remember it. Hmm - if you were in California after the quake and they were still cleaning things up and things were disrupted you would remember it too. But you wouldn’t say “I was there when it happened.”

I clearly remember watching the live coverage on CBS. I remember Dan Rather arguing with some government official.

No, “Tampon Tim,” you have to stop telling lies and try the truth.
The truth, from you, will shock us but it might cause us to stop hating your cowardly ass.

Just like all the other democrats I’ve met in my life, they lie when it’s to their advantage. Always.

Exactly. That’s like forgetting where you were when 9/11 happened. If he was in China during Tienanmen Square, he would have remembered specifics.
