BREAKING: Tim Walz Blindsided By New Investigation Into His Chinese Communist Links

U.S. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Friday announced a stunning new probe into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s connections to the Chinese communist government, pulling on a thread that threatens to unravel his image as a homey former teacher inculcating his students with lessons about global harmony.

Previously, reporters have examined Walz’s record as a high school teacher who relied on funds from the Chinese government to sponsor overseas trips where his students would learn about Chinese culture and come home with renewed hopes of a future where America and its future foe would peacefully coexist. Instead, according to Congressman Comer, Walz’s connections in the communist country are much deeper and more nefarious than a first glance may indicate. On X, the committee announced it has begun an investigation into his position at a Chinese institution “that maintains deep a devotion to the [Chinese Community Party]” and “spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders.”

Agents within the FBI have also informed the Oversight Committee that it is actively investigating these seemingly innocuous travel sponsorships to China which they claim harbor intentions of cultivating anti-American sentiment and a fondness for China’s way of life. The Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force, it writes, is actively investigating CCP activity “that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz.”

“In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chairman Comer is now requesting information, documents, and communications related to the CCP-connected entities and officials Governor Walz has engaged and partnered with,” the statement concludes.

The new probe comes one week after Fox News host Jesse Watters released his own report on dozens of trips Gov. Walz took to China. The midwestern Democrat has visited mainland China at least 30 times going back to his career as a suburban school teacher. His first visit in 1989, funded by Harvard University, coincided with the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, and upon his return Walz “spread Chinese propaganda,” Watters told his viewers. He quoted Walz, who said about his first visit, “I was treated exceptionally well… They are such kind, generous, capable people. They just gave and gave and gave to me. Going there was one of the best things I’ve ever done.” His marriage to Gwen Walz on April 15th, 1994 was exactly five years to the day of the Tiananmen Square riots.

Later on, Walz, 60, founded a travel company that specialized in educational tours for American high school students visiting China and relied on funding from the Chinese government to underwrite the visits. While there, the new No. 2 to Vice President Kamala Harris was known by Chinese children as the “big-nosed one” and “foreign devil.” He went on to learn some Mandarin as well, and to this day continues to maintain strong ties with Chinese-American organizations that have close ties to intelligence arms for the communist regime of Chinese President Xi Jinping. One, the Chinese Friendship Organization, welcomed him for a speech in 2019, one year after winning his first election to the governor’s office.
