Too close to China for comfort.
That’s a Florida Senator’s take on the Democratic nominee for Vice President.
During a Wednesday Fox Business interview, Rick Scott said Tim Walz and other Democrats present a “national security risk” because they buddy up with Beijing.
“Didn’t he go on his honeymoon over to China? He has all these relationships with Communist Chinese officials and he’s going to be the Vice President? Isn’t that a national security risk for our country when our top officials have all these close ties to the Communist Party?”
House Republicans, led by Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer of Kentucky, are already probing the Minnesota Governor’s “concerning ties to the People’s Republic of China (PRC)” dating back to the 1990s, when he took high school students to the country then began a business to facilitate that for students he did not teach.
Comer wants “information, documents, and communications related to the CCP-connected entities and officials Governor Walz has engaged and partnered with, as well as any warnings or advice the FBI may have given to Governor Walz about U.S. political figures being targeted by or recruited for CCP influence operations.”
Scott also addressed the state of play in Florida, and as he has said before, he downplays the chances of Kamala Harris flipping the state, saying there’s “zero energy” for her in Florida.
“In my state, there is NO energy for Socialism,” Scott told Maria Bartiromo.
“Harris is a Socialist; Walz is a Socialist. They’re not going to do well in Florida and I think that’s an example of what’s going to happen around the country.”
The FiveThirtyEight polling average shows Trump with a 5.5% lead in the Sunshine State.

Yawn. Selective outrage and performative xenophobia from the one and only Skeletor. How about all those Trump family business deals trademarks in China, hypocrites?

It’s really funny reading you and others that never say a critical thing about your candidates. I have been critical of Trump and I haven’t supported everything DeSantis has done, but boy you zombies stay in line. Never a negative thing to say about Joe. Never talking about the failure of Kammy in 2019 / 2020. Now you make her out to be the messiah. She won’t talk to the media unless it is a prerecorded meeting with Demo operative Dana Bash. Five days of preparation for just under 18 minutes that was aired. Wouldn’t you love to see what was cut? Oh and now I’m a Russian Bot. So here comes another conspiracy theory. You must get your news from the same place as the slum lord.

lol “No one says a word against Joe! He’s just a young man who should still be the candidate!”
Have you been following the news lately? Plenty of dems had bad things to say about Joe. Not to mention the uncommitted folks literally not voting for him because of his positions?
Sure you’ve said things against your shitty pols, but will you still vote for traitorous sexual abusing filth? I think that’s the dividing line. I’d never support a convicted felon, for one.

Biden can hardly speak, thankfully he blew the debate so bad everybody woke up and provided leverage to pry him out. Does that satisfy you? As a “double hater” I’ll go with Kamala anytime over Trump. I voted for him once, it was the mistake of a lifetime. What’s your excuse? You going to tell us how cheap gas was again? Trump started off with a great economy and managed to ruin everything by the time he was finally dragged out. Store shelves were empty while morgue shelves were full.
Kamala is stepping up, doing far better than I, for one thought possible. I dont think she’ll excel at the debate but she wont look like Biden or say ‘we finally killed medicare.’

It’s because Trump lowered the bar so low, anyone else is Jesus in comparison.
Just face it. Trump’s the worst CIC in history and people are finally waking up. All the deflection and spin isn’t going to win the day. And it’s less than 50% of America wants him – he lost the popular vote after all – twice – like his impeachments. The entrie NATION and government cannot be all against him. When will you realize he did BAD stuff?

‘Didn’t he go on his honeymoon over to China?’
LOL…Fraud Scott knows China vacations — including honeymoons — used to be very popular. Game shows gave them as prizes. Conservative relatives have photos of their China trips up on the mantle! Rick is so desperate to get his hands on more Medicare $$ that he’s making even less sense than usual!

Tim Walz is a risk?!? Because he had his honeymoon in China? Seriously? One look at his financials kinda proves right off the bat there’s no corruption. On the other hand, has he seen Donald Trump’s and his family’s “business” deals? The man joneymoone

Best to ignore the person who does nothing but personal hurl insults and change her name daily. She’s likely a Russian (or Iranian) troll, based on her repetitive, inane comments, offensive misogyny, and racial slurs.

I have told you time and time again that I pee standing up. You obviously have a reading comprehension problem. I’m not Russian or Iranian troll or bot. I have no idea where you get that from. You simply want a one sided pro Kammy anti Trump dialogue. Sorry Michael, roughly 50 percent or more of voters in this country disagree with you.

MAGA MARK, iv’e heard that some butch type lesbians prefer to piss standing up. so the issuue of whether you are a dude or a duddette, is still open. i’m voting on you being a low self-esteem male. you could be a butch lesbian though. i’m not disparaging lesbians at all,, but a lesbian being compared to a POS like you would be quite disparaging. i don’t like talking about sexuality, that’s a private subject for me, but you brought it up.

Pardon me but I don’t think Scott warned about all those New York Republicans who went on a junket to China earlier this year being a security risk.
And I guess he missed the part where Walz has been a vocal critic of China.
But why let a little thing like facts get in the way of a good smear job?

The guy who defrauded US taxpayers of 1.4 billion dollars say Walz is a threat. Got it. LOLs

“While Rick Scott was CEO of Columbia/HCA Hospital, he oversaw the biggest Medicare fraud in US history and was fined $1.7 billion, which was the largest healthcare fraud fine ever levied by the DOJ,” Who is more of threat? Scott couldn’t do 4 years Navy service….WHY?
