“When you go to China they’re surveilling you. When an American goes to China 30 times in the 90s,” said Watters.

“They have surveillance footage of him, probably of his honeymoon night.

“What kind of compromise is that? This is serious business.”

He was backed up by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who kept pointing out that “China thinks long-term.”

He said: “It’s very possible they were grooming an up-and-coming star in the political process to try and have a foothold in our government.

“They’ve done this in the military. We’ve caught them with spy rings in our universities. This is how China operates.”

Comer then made reference to Hunter Biden having “ties with communist China,” before turning back to Walz.

“It looks like Walz’s ties may be for ideology and this is something we should be concerned about,” Comer stated.

“And we’re trying to gather as much information as we can to present to the American people.”

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich also shared the same fears when speaking to Sean Hannity.

Gringrich was particularly concerned with Walz taking student groups to China, because it was mostly paid for by the Chinese government.

He asked: “To what degree is Walz’s collectivism, and as one person described it his ‘Maoist tendencies’, to what extent was he going because they were paying for it. And to what extent because he really is that radical and far to the left.

“This is a guy who’s very scary and dangerous. He’s actually to the left of Kamala which you wouldn’t think is easy.”

Many political pundits on X found the MAGA claims laughable.

One tweeted: “Fox News is really going with the whole “Tim Walz is a Chinese sleeper agent” thing. Check out Newt Gingrich here.”

“James Comer is on Fox News pushing the latest hot MAGA conspiracy theory — that China groomed Tim Walz to be a CCP sleeper agent,” added another.

A third wrote: “Walz is a highly trained Chinese sleeper agent. When they get desperate, they will say anything. It doesn’t matter how ridiculous it is.”
