Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has come under fire for incorrectly stating that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests, a claim notably contradicted by uncovered newspaper reports indicating he was actually in Nebraska at the time. During a vice presidential debate, Walz admitted to 'misspeaking' and referred to himself as a 'knucklehead' for the erroneous assertion. This controversy has prompted further investigations into his ties to China, raising concerns from various quarters, including the House Oversight Committee and whistleblowers alleging connections to the Chinese Communist Party. As the scrutiny intensifies, Walz has faced criticism from voters and political opponents alike.
