Walz Calls Himself a ‘Knucklehead’ for Past Misstatements
Gov. Tim Walz said he “misspoke” about where he was during the Tiananmen Square massacre in June of 1989.

“Look, I will be the first to tell you I have poured my heart into my community. I’ve tried to do the best I can, but I’ve not been perfect. And I’m a knucklehead at times. But it’s always been about that. I will talk a lot. I will get caught up in the rhetoric, but being there, the impact it made, the difference it made in my life, I learned a lot about China. I hear the critiques of this.” “Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was, can you explain the discrepancy?” “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. So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests — went in. And from that I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance.”
