During a recent interview with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Government Accountability Institute President and New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer addressed Tim Walz’s ties to China.
Bartiromo asked Schweizer whether or not he thought the CCP was “grooming” Tim Walz.
“I think there’s no question about it, Maria,” Schweizer said. “It goes back to the exchange program that he ran and brought hundreds of students from the United States to China. In the early press accounts, Tim Waltz describes it as unique and unusual and different — a program that nobody else has.”
Schweizer continued: “And at the same time that he’s bringing those students there … Tim Walz is saying things like, well, in China, nobody is poor because everybody shares in China as if a compulsive arm of the CCP is voluntary. I mean, sharing is voluntary. It’s a ridiculous statement to make.”
“He told students going to China to downplay their Americanness. there’s an account from one student I haven’t been able to independently verify, saying that he brought back lots of copies of Mao’s Little Red book when he was in China. So this is a relationship that’s long-standing, and it carried forward when he joined Congress.”
