Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently addressed discrepancies in his statements regarding his travel to China during the pro-democracy protests in 1989. Walz admitted to misspeaking about visiting Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests but maintained that he was in Hong Kong and China during that time.
Walz explained that his history of travel to China began in 1989 and continued throughout his teaching career, where he chaperoned education trips. He acknowledged that he had been 'caught up in the rhetoric' when discussing the issue and referred to himself as a 'knucklehead at times.'
