Last night on VP Debate Eve, a new Tim Walz lie got exposed. The number of lies, like his nose, keep growing and growing. The debate is tonight at nine p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on CBS. You can watch it on your favorite cable or streaming platform, because nobody watches CBS. But, Walz’s lies, like his stolen valor story is just stupid puffery. Twenty eight years in the National Guard should be enough without puffing your rank or lying about your deployment. Now he has been caught out lying about when he was in Hong Kong. Why, Pinocchio?

Does Walz lie because he feels like he is not good enough? Why the puffery when you have so many accomplishments?

why can't these people just tell the truth? Their lives are interesting enough. It's almost as though they don't believe they have any value without the self-aggrandizement.https://t.co/TI0GdSOxao

Does he feel like his life is about fronting? Is he hiding something? If he covers himself in unearned glory, does he think it will make him more popular? Smarter? From the Washington Free Beacon:

“Tim Walz Said He Was in Hong Kong During the Tiananmen Square Massacre. He Was Home in Nebraska.
Walz’s claims in 2014 congressional hearing are a tall tale, video and local news reports show”

At a 2014 congressional hearing held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Tim Walz, then a congressman representing Minnesota’s first district, recalled being in Hong Kong when the Chinese Communist Party crushed the student protests that had roiled the country since mid-April of 1989. The unforgettable crackdown came on June 4 of that year.

“I was just going to teach high school in Foshan in Guangdong, and was in Hong Kong in May of ‘89,” he said. “And as the events were unfolding, several of us went in. And I still remember the train station in Hong Kong.” He went on: “There was a large number of, especially European, I think, very angry that we would still go after what had happened, but it was my belief at that time that the diplomacy was going to happen on many levels.”

That anecdote has since been repeated, without scrutiny, by the New York Times, CBS News, and National Public Radio, among others. In reality, local news reports show that Walz was at home in Nebraska in May and June of 1989, as protests convulsed China and the government’s response turned the world’s attention to its gross human rights violations. He wouldn’t depart for China until August.

Let me just say, before I get accused of hypocrisy, I recognize when Trump puffs too. But, Trump gives us a wink and nod. We are part of the game. We are not the rubes being played. Trump doesn’t flat out lie. Despite what the corporate media says.

Now, back to the Walz pre-VP Debate exposure. The Daily Beast reported on Tim’s VP Debate nerves:

Minnesota Governor and Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz is constantly freaking out that he is going to let Vice President Kamala Harris down and screw up in his debate against Ohio Senator JD Vance this week, according to a dozen campaign staffers who spoke to CNN.

The network reported that Walz—a longtime politician with twelve years spent in the U.S. House of Representatives and five years in the governor’s office—warned his running mate that he is a “bad debater” last month.

“He’s a strong person,” Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who’s known Walz for 18 years, told CNN. “He’s just not a lawyer-debater type. It’s not like he was dreaming of debates when he was in first grade.”

Oh Amy, lend Tim a comb, won’t you?

We’ll chalk this up to puffery too. It wasn’t 30 visits to China. It was only 15.

Minnesota Public Radio reports Tim Walz has not visited China 30 times, as he has repeatedly claimed. Harris-Walz campaign now admits actual number is 'closer to 15.' MPR says Walz was 'so proud' of his travel that 'he occasionally used to exaggerate it.' https://t.co/VxAvDbRpkY

That doesn’t mean he wasn’t groomed by the CCP or that he didn’t owe it to his superiors in the National Guard? Congressman Jim Banks and Gordon Chang have questions:

Very deeply suspicious. Like the Oversight Committee is on it suspicious.

Today the GOP Oversight Committee confirmed ties to Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party. 2/15 https://t.co/qzXfFIsDFO

Congressman James Comer wants some information from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas:

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday for information relating to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president, and a vague alleged connection to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Comer said in a letter accompanying the subpoena — issued on the day before the vice presidential debate between Walz and Republican Sen. JD Vance (Ohio) — that his committee received whistleblower disclosures about “serious concern among Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel regarding a longstanding connection between” Walz and China.

Specifically, Comer pointed to a nonclassified chat that DHS employees used on Microsoft Teams titled “NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync” that he said contains relevant information, in addition to further classified and unclassified documents in the control of DHS. The acronym stands for “Nation State Threat — National Functional Team,” according to the committee.

Comer did not go into detail about what kind of concerns were raised about Walz’s alleged connection to China but said the information came through a whistleblower.

Oopsies. I bet Tim Walz is getting very worried about letting Kamala down. I wouldn’t be surprised is Walz’s lower intestine fall out between this morning and VP debate time. It’s even money.
