United States: Several family members of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democrat Party’s vice presidential nominee, support Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump.
A photo shared by Charles Herbster, a former Republican gubernatorial candidate for Nebraska, shows several people wearing blue T-shirts with the words “Nebraska Walz’s for Trump.”
A representative confirmed to the Daily Mail that the photo shows individuals wearing shirts supporting Trump who are related to Walz on his grandfather’s brother’s side, according to reports.
The photo of the Walz family supporting Trump comes after Walz’s brother described him as “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future” and added that he “opposed” his brother’s ideology.
In a Facebook post from March 2023, Jeff Walz responded to several comments from people.
“We’ve just become a third-world banana republic,” Walz said in the post.
One of the people encouraged Walz to “have a talk with his brother,” to which Walz revealed that he had not spoken to him “in 8 years.”
“Haven’t spoken to him in 8 years,” Jeff Walz commented. “I’m opposed to all his ideology. My family wasn’t given any notice [that] he was selected and denied security the days after.”
Another person encouraged Walz to “Help MAGA” and to “Get on stage with President Trump and endorse him,” as per reports.
“I’ve thought hard about doing something like that,” Jeff Walz responded. “I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it. The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”
Tim Walz has three siblings: Sandy Dietrich, Jeff Walz, and Craig Walz. Dietrich reportedly lives in Nebraska, while Jeff Walz lives in Florida.
Craig Walz passed away in June 2016 while camping at Duncan Lake. According to KARE11 News, a powerful storm swept through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) and Cook County, causing a tree to fall on his campsite, reports stated.
If your own family won’t support your radical ideals, why should America?
