    Et Tu Babylon Bee?

    They put maxi pads in the boy's bathrooms. If they just straight put in gunshot wound first aid kits, the children might feel uncomfortable.

    Walz has history with China - it's more hawkish than critics claim
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgewpzyd91o

    Let's read some of it...

    But if anything, Mr Walz has been pretty hawkish towards its government, particularly on human rights.

    As a congressman, he met the Dalai Lama and – before his jailing – the high-profile Hong Kong democracy activist, Joshua Wong. Both men would place at the top of the Chinese government’s list of public enemies.

    In terms of his congressional record, there is not much for China to like.

    He spent over a decade on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China – a body focused on scrutinising the Chinese government’s human rights abuses.

    In 2016, the same year he met the Dalai Lama, he also invited the then leader of Tibet's government in exile, Lobsang Sangay, into his congressional office to meet a group of Minnesota high-schoolers.


    Mr Walz lent his strong backing to the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which imposed sanctions on Chinese and Hong Kong officials for human rights abuses during the city's democracy protests.

    Jeffrey Ngo, a democracy activist now based in the US, has praised Mr Walz's commitment to getting the legislation passed in 2019.

    "We knocked on every door when the #HKHRDA lacked momentum," he wrote on X after Mr Walz was confirmed as the Harris VP choice. "Only Walz answered his."

    Mr Ngo praised Mr Walz as "the sole House Democrat willing to keep co-sponsoring the bill". Republican Chris Smith was the bill's other sponsor.
