In addition to everything else, this ad repeats the hilariously stupid criticism of Walz for getting married on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square. Trump has literally said he admires China for massacring the democracy protesters.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin...

sometimes I think it really is just projection on Trump's part all the way down, man

That is so cheap, amateurish and transparent. I'm sure it will play well with his base.

So, wait, the Tianamen Square incident is famous because it was a popular uprising against an oppressive regime. Is that a bad thing now? Not sure how it proves that Walz is a CCP stooge. Of course, it's human lizard Ron Johnson smearing Walz. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

After entering Congress in 2007, Walz served on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, focusing on human rights issues and frequently taking positions much more likely to anger Xi Jinping’s authoritarian government in Beijing than curry favor.
In 2010, he co-sponsored a House motion condemning the arrest of activist and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Liu Xiaobo and fellow activist Huang Qi and, seven years later, the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, calling for an end to human rights abuses in the former British colony in response to the independence protests led by Joshua Wong and others.

In other moves designed to infuriate President Xi, Walz met with the Dalai Lama in 2016 and called for greater religious freedoms for Tibet, attacked Chinese aggression in the South China Sea and criticized the country for allying itself with Russia in the wake of the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February 2022.

Getting married in June….not just the most popular and expensive time, but a Chinese conspiracy!

I mean, he has point. Walz did have Xi as his personal guest at Mar-A-Lago. Oh, wait. Well, Walz did nothing by while China rolled over Hong Kong. Oh, wait. Walz killed the TPP, which would have opened China-dominated markets to ... Uh, Walz couldn't condemn the Uyghur genocide until ... uh

You expect a ticket to have a consistent message?

Shit. Just realized I got married on the anniversary of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Guess I'll never be VPOTUS.

It will get worse because they know Kamala has a good chance of winning. The more polls* favor her the worse this the rhetoric will get. Because they have nothing to lose. *And don’t trust the polls, vote like hell!
