Kamala Harris’ running mate and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz had an affair with the daughter of a senior Chinese Communist Party official while teaching in China in 1989. According to a Daily Mail report, Jenna Wang, 59 age, said the affair with Walz devastated her and drove her to suicide. This revelation has occurred a few days before the US presidential elections to be held on November 5, where Harris will face Republican Donald Trump. This comes at a time when Walz has faced criticism for falsely claiming he was in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
Walz worked as an English teacher at a high school in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, before moving to the United States and entering politics. He is now the governor of Minnesota. In his interview with the Daily Mail, Wang said his first conversation with Walz was when he attended one of his lectures to improve his pronunciation. She claimed Walz took off her headphones and whispered in her ear: “You’re so beautiful.” The two soon began to meet outside.
“Being treated like a prostitute”
Wang claimed that their relationship began in secret, as his father would never have approved of his relationship with a Westerner. The passionate relationship at that time inspired Wang, 24, to dream of marriage and a new life in the United States. Wang said: “Tim Walz was very emotional and very romantic.
However, he stated that there was never a marriage proposal from Walz. Wang claimed they soon began arguing over whether she really loved Walz or simply wanted to get a U.S. visa.
She said this behavior hurt her and forced her to commit suicide. Because of this unfortunate love affair, Wang fled China and went to Italy.
Wang said that knowing he wasn’t going to marry me, I felt like I was being treated like a prostitute. I felt very humiliated and hurt and I had to leave that place, because many people knew that we were having an affair. Walz married Gwen Whipple in 1993 after returning to the United States. They have two children.
While Walz is now the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Wang said he “does not have the character and integrity to do one of the most important jobs in the world.”
