SEE IT: Walz Crumbles Under Intense Questioning During Fox Interview

By Updated: MEDIA

Fox News host Shannon Bream challenged Minnesota Governor Tim Walz during an intense interview on Fox News Sunday, questioning him about his numerous “misstatements,” including the unusual claim that he was in China during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989. She asked him to defend his far-left record amidst the scrutiny.

On the topic of abortion, Bream pointed to policies in Walz’s home state and questioned his commitment  unrestricted abortion. “Abortion Finder, a website that helps women find access, says abortion is ‘legal throughout pregnancy in Minnesota. There is no ban or limit on abortion in Minnesota based on how far along in a pregnancy you are,’” she said. “You signed a bill that makes it legal through all nine months. Is that a position you think Democrats should advocate for nationally?”



Walz responded by asserting that the campaign officially supports the restoration of Roe V. Wade, prompting Bream to highlight that Minnesota’s laws extend further than Roe V. Wade. “What you signed is there’s not a single limit through nine months of pregnancy. Roe had a trimester framework that did have limits through the pregnancy. The Minnesota law does not have that,” the Fox News host noted.

Walz chose to avoid the question and shift the conversation to former President Trump, repeating the false claim that Trump is pushing for a nationwide abortion ban.“He has said repeatedly that he will not sign a national abortion ban. Are you calling that just a flat-out lie?” Bream followed up. Walz responded, “Yes, of course. Senator Vance has in the past said so too. Now look, they may see this as an election issue. We see it as a right of women to make their own bodily decisions. And that’s what the states like my state have the ability to put that in.”

Bream also questioned Walz about his tendency to exaggerate, if not outright lie, about his life experiences and military service record. Since Walz was chosen as the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee, it has come to light that he misrepresented his military rank, falsely claimed to have carried “weapons of war” in a combat zone despite never having been deployed to one, and made the unusual assertion that he was in China during the Tiananmen Square protests.

Bream pointed to Walz’s numerous lies, as well as a few additional ones, before asking whether the American people can trust him. “Yeah, well I think they heard me. They heard me the other night speaking passionately about gun violence and misspeaking. I got to be honest with you, Shannon, I don’t think people care whether I used IUI or IVF when we talk about this. What they understand is Donald Trump would resist those things,” Walz said, adding that he has a tendency to “speak passionately.”
