CBS moderators were left puzzled after Tim Walz gave a confusing answer when he was asked whether he was in Hong Kong during the deadly Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
Moderators asked Walz about his trip to Hong Kong after it was reported; “Tim claimed that he was in Hong Kong in May of 1989 during Tiananmen Square despite local news reports from the time showing that he was actually in Nebraska.”
Walz eventually admitted to stretching the truth and claimed he “misspoke” about attending the Tiananmen Square protests.

“Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was can you explain the discrepancy?”
Walz: “All I said on this was, is I got there that summer and misspoke on this. So I will just, that’s what I’ve said.” pic.twitter.com/fcy1KYCR5R

Tim Walz just admitted he lied about being in China during the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
And it was painful to watch.
