During the vice presidential debate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz acknowledged he "misspoke" regarding his presence in China during the Tiananmen Square protests, a claim that has come under scrutiny.
Pressed to clarify, Walz reiterated his participation in the democracy protests saying, "I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest," despite reports showing he arrived two months later.
Defending his character, Walz admitted, "I have gaffes, have not been perfect and am a knucklehead at times," recognizing his past misstatements.
This incident marks another instance of Walz's inaccurate statements about his history, following previous scrutiny of his military record.
