    Given that the CCP doesn’t want the Tiananmen Square Massacre to be brought up, recognizing it in any form is a sign of disagreement with the CCP, not support, so it’s unclear what the weird senator is talking about.

      Waltz was in China (I believe at the time, but could have been just prior) and profoundly moved by it. He chose the date intentionally, so he wouldn’t forget his wedding anniversary.

    Ron Johnson got married 20 Aug 1977 - the anniversary of the day Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky was assassinated in Mexico. Between that and his July 4 trip to Moscow a few years back, it’s clear he loves Russia and hates America.

    Grasping at straws. This is even more pathetic and weird than complaining about the type of mustard someone enjoys.

    Ridiculous! Everyone knows that he chose June 4 to honor the 1912 anniversary of Massachusetts enacting the nation’s first minimum wage.

    I am so sick of this “Radical Leftist” accusation / sound byte. It’s not been true for any mainstream candidate in the last 100 years.

    Republicans will you please, for the love God, shut up about it already?

    Well, would you look at that. Ronny’s anniversary is today, the same day in history that…

    Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact nations invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the “Prague Spring” liberalization movement.

    What a “coincidence!”

    “That fucker, Ron Johnson, slams ‘radical leftist’ Tim Walz for ‘getting married on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square’”

    FTFY.
