Democratic vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has developed a pattern of misrepresenting personal anecdotes, which some critics have labeled as dishonesty. It appears that Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris does not support this behavior. During an interview with Michael Strahan, host of “Good Morning America” and NFL Hall of Famer, Walz faced intense questioning regarding his past inaccuracies and the vice president’s reaction to them.

“You call yourself a knucklehead. You call yourself a knucklehead because you’ve made some statements that just aren’t true. In a comment about ‘weapons of war that I carried in war,’ which you didn’t. You said you were in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre when you weren’t. You kind of chalked it up to bad grammar or getting the dates wrong. But your opponents say you lied to make yourself look better. Do they have a point?” the host said.

“Well, look, 35 years ago got the opportunity to be in Hong Kong, be in China, learned a lot about it. Served 24 years in the National Guard. Passionately, in an instance, talking about gun violence in schools on an instance there. Proud of the service that I have done. Proud to be a teacher in that classroom. Proud to have been very public all these years and owning it when I said, look, I was there in August of ’89,” Walz rambled.

“And I think what you see here, you saw it in Minnesota, I have been elected eight times here, these things have been very public for folks here. We see the results of the things that we passed. We see a state that’s top five state for business. We see third-best state, top three states for raising a child. We’ve got the best health care. I think the policies, whether it be dealing with China and understanding China’s human rights record, what you can be certain there is that Kamala Harris and I aren’t gonna put dictators on speed dial, say Xi Jinping is doing a good job during Covid, as Donald Trump said. And I think the lessons learned over a lifetime, being very public, whether it’s in the classroom or being elected,” he said as he danced around the question.
