China syndrome: Marco Rubio wants answers on Tim Walz’s alleged communist tryst

Rubio Marco
'Voters deserve to know everything.'

Florida’s senior Senator is seeking details on an alleged mysterious liaison between the Democratic vice presidential nominee and the progeny of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official.

If the story today in the Daily Mail is true (and) Tim Walz had a relationship with the daughter of a high ranking Chinese Communist Party official and remained in contact with her for years after. If you aspire to be Vice-President of the United States, voters deserve to know everything about any and every link you have to the CCP,” U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio posted to X.

Walz is alleged to have been involved with Jenna Wang back in 1989. He arrived in the country after the Tiananmen Square protests earlier that year, where reporters say he met Wang, the daughter of former CCP official Bin Hui, who passed away 25 years ago.

The claim is that Walz gave Wang gifts and “seduced” her while teaching at a provincial high school. The allegation is that the two made love and listened to George Michael records, particularly “Careless Whisper,” the sultry and saxophone drenched mid-1980s ballad that made it clear that Wham! would be sidelined for a solo career.

And just as heartbreak suffused the pop icon’s signature ballad, the report says Walz and Wang never could make the Great Leap Forward.

The ill-fated lovers supposedly squabbled over public displays of affection, which put Wang in an awkward position culturally. They also fought about marriage. Wang alleges Walz said her key interest was a U.S. passport, rather than matrimony in Nebraska.

The Kamala Harris-Walz campaign declined the Daily Mail‘s request for comment on the story.

It’s unclear why this material surfaced now, of course, with just over a week to go until Election Day. But Rubio will not be the last Republican to ask questions about a murky period in the life of a man who could be one heartbeat away from the presidency.

    The Daily Mail is as reliable as the National Enquirer. Never take much stock in anything printed there. It’s a waste of ink and paper.

      Dude, she wrote an open letter citing specific events and the people who were there and is giving interviews. Don’t be all like “it didn’t happen,” it’s f-ing over for your clown.

        “They also fought about marriage. Wang alleges Walz said her key interest was a U.S. passport, rather than matrimony in Nebraska.”
        So .. Walz was a patriot then, didn’t allow her to get U.S. citizenship, for herself and then maybe even her parents speaking of which where is Melania and her now citizen parents? Will Trump send Melania and her parents back where they came from if he becomes president? Because he kinda said he would. Also, I hope our Cuban hermanas and hermanos stand up for their Puerto Rican amigos and repudiate what was said about Puerto Rico in Trump’s name the other night at MSG. Trump, BTW has not repudiated it himself, only a mealy-mouthed statement from his campaign. Not good enough.
        Rubio is an idiot for trying to promote this ridiculous story. Even if true, who the F cares? Again, he apparently denied her an opportunity to infiltrate the U.S. “Young man working overseas has fling”. Who hasn’t? I did when I studied abroad.

    Does Marco have any questions about Trump’s friendship with Putin, the sending of covid supplies when Americans needed them, taking Putin’s side over the American intelligence community in Helsinki?

    “There will come a day when Mr. Trump is no longer here but your dishonor will remain.”

      Or how about Mr Musk and his ties to Putin? Every American should be wary of Musk’s (likely illegal) efforts to buy votes and voters, and to buy himself a position in government to promote his self-interest.

      The only thing spineless Marco is trying to do is create a distraction from the full-on displays of ugly racism, misogyny, hate and angry grievance that were on display at MSG. This is full-on what the former Republican party has become under Trump. Believe every single word they say.

      Voters in Pennsylvania and elsewhere are not impressed.

          Turnip J Truck’s piece of shit Elon Mush’s birth certificate actually says Africa on it. But for some mysterious reason, Turnip J Truck doesn’t mind despite his wild objections to the FALSE rumor (the rumor Turnip himself spread) of Obama’s birth certificate supposedly saying Africa. Now why is that, do you suppose?

          100% correct my friend. So sick of the double standard nonsense and I believe most voters are too. I believe this presidential contest will be over by 10#0 Tuesday night with a Trump landside

        His lab leaks are made in China too, and he alone was stupid enough to think it would remain in China just like Mexico would pay for it

      Nah…AG is just making fun of lil Marco breathlessly pointing us all toward an oh-so-conveniently-timed bit of nonsense that the Republican Party will try to get a week’s worth of wear out of! LOL. The George Michael part is pretty scary though.

    Little Marco needs the enema. The enema within. Hope he can pry it out of the rear end of the Turnip J Truck before his bulging eyes pop all the way out and he turn into Rick Scott

    If we are going to have some truth telling, Rubio can tell us about the $1+ million he got in campaign aid from the NRA when he won his first Senate seat. The NRA didn’t spend any other campaign money in Florida that year, instead relying on Mean Marion Hammer to whip errant MAGAs into line by threatening to primary them.

    Every time there is a mass shooting in Florida, or illegal firearms transported to Haiti from South Florida, Rubio’s sellout is the genesis.
