No wonder Walz had no idea how to respond to that. I wouldn't either! I'd be like "uh...sorry it was so long ago, I must have gotten the date wrong, my bad."

I just thought of this nearly 2 hours afterward, so not like I’d be any better, but the right answer was probably that the effects of Tianamen were felt in China for more than just the one day, and when he went there, he saw that firsthand

Still have zero idea what that has to do with leadership though
