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.

Dear Miss Spoke: The article is about lies and nonsense spewing forth from Rick Scott. Pay attention.

‘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
