NEW: Tim Walz Scandal Resurfaces After Calling China A ‘Moral Authority’
A major scandal involving jailed Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, who is currently the governor of Minnesota, has resurfaced.
The controversy concerns a love affair he allegedly had in the late 1980s. The woman involved in this tryst was the daughter of a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
The fiasco resurfaced after Walz weighed in on the recent Israeli strikes on Iran. “Who is the voice in the world that can negotiate some type of agreement and hold the moral authority?” he asked at a progressive event. “It might be the Chinese.”
Walz’s alleged Chinese love was Jenna Wang, now 59-years-old, who claims the governor poured out his affection through gifts. She also said he “seduced” her at his staff accommodation located at a high school in Foshan, Guangdong Province.
A report from the Daily Mail revealed the pair couldn’t hold hands or show any kind of physical affection in public due to Wang’s father being a high-ranking figure in the CCP. Wang said if her father discovered her dating a Westerner, he would disown her.
“But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and listened to George Michael hits – leading the then 24-year-old Wang to dream about marriage and a new life in the United States. No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the shame of being treated ‘like a prostitute’ eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims,” the article said.
In an exclusive interview with the UK publication, Wang said, “Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper.”
“The fact we couldn’t touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone,” she continued. “We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn’t happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim’s behavior was very selfish.”
Walz’s time spent in China has been a source of controversy for years now. During an interview and in congressional transcripts, Walz claimed he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests that ran from April to June of 1989. However, documents show he didn’t join the nonprofit group WorldTeach in China until August of that year.
He then attempted to play it all off as though he just got his dates mixed up, referring to himself as a “knucklehead.”
Despite a hot and heavy, albeit secret romance, things took a turn for the worse when Walz started being more bold in public displays of affection. Wang recalled a time when the future vice presidential candidate tried to feed her a slice of pear in public, which drew a lot of unwanted attention.
Then, during an overnight train ride, Walz insisted she stay the night in his cabin. When the conductor came by and started to admonish her, he only stopped once Walz woke up. Since Walz was from the West, he was shown more respect.
Once they reached Hainan Island, Wang realized she needed to confront Walz about future plans. She wanted to get married, but Walz didn’t, which she said made her feel “cheap and common” as if she were a “prostitute.”
The following day, Wang left their hotel and snagged a taxi that took her to a remote clifftop. Standing there at the edge, she thought of killing herself instead of going back to her old life.
However, on the ride back to Foshan, she decided to leave Walz and go to Guilin to care for her ill mother. The two never crossed paths again.
In the interview with the Daily Mail, Wang dropped the hammer on Walz, saying, “Tim lied about Tiananmen Square and he’s lied about things.”
“This is a very crucial moment in history and a man like this does not appear to have the character and integrity to do one of the most important jobs in the world,” she concluded.
