Tim Walz was put on the spot mid-way through Tuesday’s VP debate, with CBS moderators pressing him on why he’s claimed to have been in Hong Kong amid the infamous Tiananmen Square protests when he wasn’t.
Walz offered up a long answer on his small-town upbringing and his educational ties to China before eventually conceding, “I’m a knucklehead at times.”
He then offered a vague acknowledgement that he’d fibbed a bit: “Many times I will talk a lot. I will get caught up in the rhetoric.”
