VP Candidate Walz Helped Secure Millions in Funding for Minnesota Researchers With Ties to Wuhan, China Lab
2024-10-03
[RedState] If you've been wondering about Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's many voyages to the Middle Kingdom, you're not alone. It's a bit of a curiosity, an American politician who is so cozy with China, a Communist country under the single-handed control of Chairman Xi, and a nation that's not exactly friendly to the United States. It's a bit like the daffy old Bolshevik from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, honeymooning in the Soviet Union - only Tim Walz went back to China, again and again. It's enough to provoke questions.
Useful idiot
On Wednesday that curiosity was rewarded, although the Harris/Walz campaign may not be too happy about it. It turns out that Tim Walz may well have provided indirect support for the Wuhan Institute of Virology - yes, that Wuhan Institute of Virology:

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is coming under fire for supporting a U.S. research institute with connections to China.

The University of Minnesota's Hormel Institute has published research and worked with scientists from China's infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), the same lab the FBI concluded was likely the birthplace of COVID.

The WIV was also host to numerous experiments by the Chinese military's People's Liberation Army (PLA), including some grisly ones on animals.

And Walz, who has spoken highly of China and has taken dozens of trips there including his honeymoon, has worked to secure at least $7 million in funding for Hormel Institute.

Good News: We Can Now Discuss the COVID Lab Leak Theory Rationally - Even in Dem-Led Committee Hearings

So, we have an American politician working to obtain funding for an American organization, the Hormel Institute, which supports and works with a Chinese virology lab that has a history of conducting ethically questionable experiments, and which is very likely the origin of the COVID-19 virus. Now that American politician is a candidate for the second-highest elected position in the land; a heartbeat away from being commander-in-chief of all the armed forces.

#4  Not a great deal mentioned about Wuhan or Covid during the Harris-Walz campaign.

I can't imagine why.

IF Trump is able to take office and expose the DC Cartel. People will watch the trials on TV.

It will be like a reverse revolution played out.
