As evidenced by recent leaks to liberal news outlets, cracks are beginning to appear within Harris' inner circle. The culprit appears to be a number of outright lies by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, or what Politico euphemistically calls “miswords” and “problems.”[s] Misspoken. ”
Four members of the Harris camp
spoke This shows that despite the vetting process, they were blindsided by some of Mr. Walz's more egregious outrages.
repeated thread About being in Hong Kong during the infamous Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.
Walz, for example, made a lengthy “gaffe” during the match.
2014 Congressional Hearingsit claims.[The Tiananmen Square massacre] It certainly had a lasting impact on me. As a young man, I was in Hong Kong in May 1989 with the intention of teaching high school in Foshan City, Guangdong Province. A few of us went inside as the incident unfolded. I still remember the train station in Hong Kong. ”
“You get caught up in the rhetoric.”
During the vice presidential debate, moderator Margaret Brennan said, “You said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly Tiananmen Square massacre in the spring of 1989, but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets say you were actually in Asia.'' It is reported that he has not traveled to the United States.” Until August of that year, can you explain the discrepancy? ”
After providing Brennan with an unsolicited and disjointed biography, Waltz said, “I wasn't perfect, and I was a little crazy at times, but that was always the problem.''
Walz added, “I'm going to talk a lot and I'm going to get caught up in the rhetoric, but being there, the impact it had, it changed my life. I learned a lot about China.” he added.
When asked again to bridge the gap between reality and his explanation, Walz suggested he had “misspoke.”
“It's unclear whether Mr. Walz's misspoken words will erode trust with voters, but the need to continue to clear up these allegations could be a political blow to Mr. Walz and Ms. Harris. ” Politico reported.
Since the debate, Mr. Walz has sought to defuse the ripples caused by recent revelations, reassuring reporters in Pennsylvania, “Look, the dates are wrong,” for example.
Walz is not the only Democrat struggling to limit the damage caused by his words.
When the truth about the governor's military history and retired rank was revealed, the Harris campaign reportedly Waltz's biography had to be revised. It previously listed the governor as a “retired sergeant major,” but was adjusted to show that Walz once held the rank of sergeant. This is an important distinction given that he returned to the rank of sergeant major after failing to meet the requirements. coursework.
“He sometimes makes mistakes.”
Politico said the Harris campaign also cited Walz's “gaffe” in 2018 when she said she didn't want law-abiding Americans to have access to “weapons of war that they carried during wars.” He pointed out that he felt he had no choice but to make his point. Of course, Walz never served in combat, retiring around the time he received word that his battalion would soon be deployed to Iraq.
When it was revealed that Waltz had lied “about us”;[ing] Lauren Hitt, a spokeswoman for the Harris campaign who has actually given birth to a child using intrauterine insemination, used the magic words again, saying that Walz had “misspoken.” he claimed.
It seems he also has a waltz
Misspoken When he made false claims:
“Anytime you have to drop your message, it's never welcome,” Mike Mikus, a Democratic strategist in Pennsylvania, told Politico. “But at the end of the day, voters are more concerned about what these candidates are going to do to improve their lives than they are about, 'Does he get all the facts right?' I'm looking for someone.”
The campaign appears to have little choice but to recycle the phrase and imply that Walz's ostensibly pathological disregard for truth is proof of his normality.
“As the governor has said, he sometimes gaffes,” a campaign spokesperson told Politico. “He speaks like a normal person and speaks passionately about issues he cares deeply about, like democracy and stopping gun violence in schools.”
In a desperate predictive effort, the spokesperson suggested that Mr. Trump and Mr. Vance would “repeatedly lie and mislead about their plans to ban abortion nationwide” and other topics.
