A whistleblower has come forward with explosive allegations about Minnesota Governor and Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz, claiming that Homeland Security staffers expressed “serious concerns” about his longstanding ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), swiftly issued a subpoena to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demanding documents related to these concerns.
The whistleblower disclosed that an internal Microsoft Teams chat group among DHS employees—called “NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync”—contains discussions about Walz’s connections to the CCP, some of which are documented in classified and unclassified files. Comer’s letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas requests all records relating to this group chat, as well as any intelligence reports covering Walz’s China connections from November 2023 to the present.
“If a state governor and major political party’s nominee for Vice President of the United States has been a witting or unwitting participant in the CCP’s efforts to weaken our nation, this would strongly suggest alarming weaknesses in the federal government’s effort to defend the United States from the CCP’s political warfare,” Comer wrote in his letter to Mayorkas.
This isn’t the first time Walz has faced scrutiny over his cozy relationship with China. Reports indicate that Walz visited China over 30 times, including a dozen trips while still serving in the U.S. military. These trips, some of which took place shortly after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, have raised questions about the nature of his connections to Chinese officials. Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) raised red flags in a letter to the Pentagon, calling Walz an “obvious security risk” and urging further investigation.
Walz has been an advocate for woke ideology throughout his career, championing policies that include promoting tampons in men’s bathrooms and pushing radical gender identity initiatives. However, his admiration for China’s authoritarian system is what turns heads. Walz reportedly praised China’s communist regime back in 1991, stating, “Everyone is the same and everyone shares,” while highlighting the government’s control over housing and food distribution.
Further concerns have emerged surrounding Walz’s ties to China. In 1995, Walz and his wife co-founded a tourism company bound to the Communist Country, which was eventually dissolved after failing to pay business taxes. And in a particularly bizarre move, Walz chose the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre as his wedding date—something his wife claimed was to “make sure he’d always remember the date.”
Walz has long boasted about his connections to China, even falsely claiming that he entered the country during the Tiananmen Square crackdown. In reality, reports show he was at home in Nebraska during the massacre.
