The Harris-Walz campaign is now dealing with another scandal: Tim Walz had a sexual relationship with the daughter of a top Communist Chinese official.
Team Harris has already had to explain away Walz’s fake military record, the big lie about Tiananmen Square, and other revelations. Now this, from the Daily Mail.
Jenna Wang, now 59, wanted to marry Walz. But the Don Juan of the fruited plain left her high and dry. So sad was the jilted girl that she contemplated suicide.
The affair invites the observation that a Vice President Walz — had the Daily Mail not disclosed it — could have been compromised by Red China’s government.
“Deeply in Love”
Walz waltzed between the sheets with Wang in 1989 when he spent time as a teacher in China, so wife Gwen can’t complain of adultery.
And the affair was top secret, the Daily Mail reported.
Walz “showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province,” the website continued:
The lovers could not risk holding hands or showing affection in public because Wang’s dad was a high-ranking figure in the Chinese Communist Party who would disown her for fraternizing with a westerner.
“The fact we couldn’t touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone.
“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.”
The two lovebirds met when Wang attended “one of his lectures to brush up on her pronunciation when the then-25-year-old Walz slipped her headphones aside and whispered into her ear: ‘You are very beautiful,’” the website reported.
Walz, she said, was “very handsome” and he loved her English, she told the website.
The two couldn’t show affection publicly because the news of the frowned-upon affair would get back to Wang’s dad, Bin Hui. He was a top communist.
Wang told the website that Walz couldn’t sing or dance, but he could talk the bark off a tree:
“But we talked for hours and hours, we stayed in bed, we had sex. He continued to buy me gifts.
“I could never stay overnight because of the social conventions. It was very repressive. Couples walked around the city like robots.
“My father would have been very, very angry and sad if he had found out.”
During the summer Walz returned to the US but wrote letters to Wang, giving vivid depictions of his life and teaching job in Alliance, Nebraska.
At Walz’s direction, Wang says she sent off a passport photo and information about herself to an address in the States, believing it was part of the process to secure her a visa.
The Troubles
But troubles between the pair began when Walz returned to China in 1992, the website reported.
Walz embarrassed Wang with “clumsy, romantic gestures in public.”
And once, a train conductor caught the pair canoodling on an overnight train to Hainan Island. There, Wang demanded that Walz come clean about their future together.
Walz responded by suggesting that Wang was more interested in a US passport than marriage.
”This was very offensive. I said to him that it is both or nothing,” she said.
Wang said she wanted to marry Walz and “start a family,” and that she would move to Nebraska — “a cold place in the middle of nowhere that most Chinese people had never heard of” — because she loved him so much.
“Knowing now that he wasn’t going to marry me made me feel cheap and common, as if I was being treated like a prostitute,” she said.
The cold-hearted rejection left Wang so distraught that she “took a taxi to a remote clifftop where she says she contemplated throwing herself off rather than returning to her old life in disgrace.”
Facebook Messages, “Tim Lied”
The blow left Wang feeling “dead inside,” she told the website, and after they parted, the two never met again.
But they did exchange Facebook messages in 2009, the website revealed. It did not disclose their content, whether Gwen Walz knew about the messages, and if she did, how Walz explained rekindling the relationship.
And Walz has learned what Shakespeare taught us about a woman scorned: Hell hath no fury like her:
The mother-of-one says she is coming forward now because she feels Walz behaved selfishly towards her and put her reputation and career at risk with his fickle behavior.
“Tim lied about Tiananmen Square and he’s lied about other things,” she told DailyMail.com
“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.”
Other Scandals
Since picking the then-unknown Tim Walz for veep, the Harris campaign has dealt with one scandal after another.
Most significantly, Walz lied for years about his rank when he retired from the military, and also falsely claimed he went to war. In fact, he quit the Minnesota National Guard to duck a deployment to Iraq, which means that he did not, as advertised, retire as a command sergeant major.
Walz also lied about using in-vitro fertilization to conceive his children.
Years after a drunk-driving arrest when he ran for Congress, Walz claimed that he wasn’t drunk, Instead, a hearing problem from his time as a Guard artillerist caused him to misunderstand the arresting officer’s directions and caused balance problems during a sobriety test. In fact, his blood-alcohol content was 0.128.
In an obvious damage-control attempt, Politico tried to explain Walz’s myriad falsehoods by claiming he “has a tendency to misspeak.”
How Tim Walz could “misspeak” about being at the Tiananmen Square protests — when he was on the other side of the planet in Nebraska — Politico left to the imagination.
During his debate with J.D. Vance, Walz explained it.
Said the man who thinks boys need tampons: “I’m a knucklehead.”
