Walz acknowledges error in statement about Tiananmen Square protest

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has admitted to misspeaking when he stated that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protest in China. He clarified that he misspoke and emphasized the importance of understanding the world. This declaration came during a vice presidential debate between Walz and JD Vance, where they discussed various topics such as abortion, climate change, and foreign policy. Vance expressed concern for American citizens living in Springfield and suggested that Vice President Harris does not believe in climate change herself. Walz highlighted the need for steady leadership in response to crises like Hurricane Helene and the Iran missile strike. The debate also touched on immigration policy and the possibility of a pre-emptive strike by Israel on Iran. The moderator cut mics after Vance accused them of unfairly fact-checking, and both candidates sparred over trusting experts and their past criticisms of Trump. The debate was seen as an opportunity for Vance to press Walz on the Biden-Harris record. Overall, the discussion covered a range of important issues, and Walz’s clarification about his previous statement on the Tiananmen Square protest was a notable moment during the debate.
