Tim Walz--the lovable Midwestern coach who lied about his rank and dodged deployment (and then lied about lying about it), ran from cops during a DUI arrest to the tune of 95 mph (and then lied about it repeatedly), authorized officers to shoot paintballs at citizens on their own property during Covid lockdown, lied about being in China when Tiananmen Square protests broke out, and suggested ending the electoral college...well, it turns out there's another skeleton in his closet, nearly a literal one.
Maybe Walz should compare notes with Eric Swalwell, or talk to Kathy Hochul about her deputy chief of staff, or try to reach Dianne Feinstein via seance about her chauffeur. Walz's former girlfriend Jenna Wang, 59, joins the ranks of Christine Fang, Linda Sun, and Feinstein's two-decade driver in the Chinese Communist Democrat Friends Club.
While Walz was allegedly teaching in China in the '80s, he struck up a relationship with Wang. Wang, a teacher at a school close to Walz's, wasn't just any Chinese national, however. She was the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official, Ben Hui, head of a labor union in the city of Guilin.
As reported by the Daily Mail:
Jenna Wang, 59, claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province. 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.
But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and listened to George Michael hits – leading the then 24-year-old Wang to dream about marriage and a new life in the United States. No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the shame of being treated 'like a prostitute' eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims.
...'Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper,' she told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview. '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.'
...'Tim was very handsome. I loved his eyes and his big mouth. We talked afterwards and he was very complimentary about my English,' Wang told DailyMail.com.
...'He couldn't sing and when he tried to dance he found it very hard. I could tell he was in the military,' Wang said. '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.'
...When the pair reached Hainan Island, known for its tropical climate and beach resorts, Wang was ready to confront him about their future plans. 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.'I wasn't giving up my life and my position to move to Nebraska, a cold place in the middle of nowhere that most Chinese people had never heard of. I was giving it up to be with Tim, to get married and start a family. 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.'
The next morning Wang slipped out of their hotel and took a taxi to a remote clifftop where she says she contemplated throwing herself off rather than returning to her old life in disgrace. But on the bus back to Foshan she resolved to leave Walz and instead headed to Guilin to help her mother recover from a recent stomach surgery.
...She says the pair last exchanged a handful of friendly messages over Facebook in 2009 and talked about how their lives had panned out. 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.'
