Well, Tim Walz nailed this part of the debate.
When asked about the inconsistencies and obvious lies about his travel to China, specifically his trip to Tiananmen Square, Walz called himself a knucklehead. Points for accuracy!
His answer was awkward and he seemed unready for it, which is astonishing. He had to know this was coming.

First true thing he’s said!

Walz filibusters instead of acknowledging he lied about being in China during the Tiananmen Massacre.
Just like he lied about his military service.
Then he dismisses it as him being a knucklehead.
