Is Tim Tse Tung another Dem stooge for Red Chinese operatives?
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is coming under fire for supporting a U.S. research institute with connections to China.
The University of Minnesota's Hormel Institute has published research and worked with scientists from China's infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), the same lab the FBI concluded was likely the birthplace of COVID.
The WIV was also host to numerous experiments by the Chinese military's People's Liberation Army (PLA), including some grisly ones on animals.
And Walz, who has spoken highly of China and has taken dozens of trips there including his honeymoon, has worked to secure at least $7 million in funding for Hormel Institute.
It comes as the scrutiny on Walz's connections to China have taken center stage, including during the VP debate Tuesday night where he called himself a 'knucklehead' for 'misspeaking' about his past travels to the communist country.
Now, a worried Republican is demanding the Institute, which 'reflects a troubling disregard for national security concerns' turnover information regarding Walz's 'steadfast' support.
~ The American people deserve assurance that their resources and institutions are not inadvertently supporting the goals of our chief geopolitical adversary.'
