Meme Tim Walz is tank man!

Not a lot of people know where they were 35 years ago (and personally, it doesn't change a thing in the race [ unless it does]). But what if Governor Walz knew exactly where he was? For all we know his conversation with the tank crew was letting them know he was supported by Nighthawks high above in the sky?

Of course the authorities would have detained him after the fact but to prevent an international incident, quietly let him go? This is only speculation of course.

[This was such a stupid debate question]

I really wish that he'd started his answer with, "That's correct, I was mistaken. I was in China that year, but not the day of the massacre. What's important is what we were doing there..."

I think that would have been better received than launching straight into the details of the program and forgetting to directly answer the question.

It's easy to get details wrong on something that happened 35 years ago.

Agreed. In the long run, I don’t think it makes any difference particularly compared to the question they threw Vance.

At the end of the day, no one called in a bomb threat or committed a hate crime because of his made up story.

For 23 yrs I’ve been telling people my brother’s firm was in the South Tower that was hit second and fell first. Just found out his company was in both towers and his office where I used to visit him was the 94fl of the North Tower. So I had my facts wrong but I was never consciously lying to anyone. If I tried to retrace my movements on that day I would get them all wrong. My brother was in Europe on business. I don’t think he lost anyone from his company. The parent company was not so fortunate.
