Tim Walz's brother Jeff speaks out against his agenda
Tim Walz's estranged brother Jeff Walz is stepping into the spotlight - just once - to clear things up.
In an interview with NewsNation, Jeff Walz confirmed reports that he is against his brother's wacky far-left agenda - and shared that the family is devastated that they did not get a phone call when Walz was picked for VP.
Jeff Walz speaks out
Jeff grabbed media attention over Facebook posts saying his brother is "not the type of character" people should want in leadership. But Jeff clarified that his comment about having "stories" to tell was not about anything dark.
“Nobody wanted to sit with him, because he had car sickness and would always throw up on us, that sort of thing,” Jeff Walz said. “There’s really nothing else hidden behind there. People are assuming something else. There’s other stories like that, but I think that probably gives you the gist of it.”
Since rising from obscurity in July, Tim Walz has come under scrutiny for his frequent visits to China, lying about his military service and his wife's fertility treatment, drunk driving, and a generally wacky left-wing record.
As governor of Minnesota, Walz has pushed a far-left agenda, giving drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants and placing tampons in boys' bathrooms. He famously waffled during the George Floyd riots in 2020, which exploded in his state's capital.
Brother devastated....
Jeff hasn't spoken with his brother since their younger brother Craig died in 2016.
Jeff told News Nation that his Facebook posts were meant to clear up his own political views to friends, nothing more. He said over Facebook that he thought "long and hard" about endorsing Donald Trump, but he has no interest in getting more involved with politics.
“There is going to be no further statements to anybody, and we’re not campaigning or anything for him or against him or anything like that,” he said.
While Jeff is moving on, he says the family is still upset that they found out about Tim becoming the Democrats' VP nominee over the radio.
"The only thing I took exception to, and I will stand behind this 100%, was that we felt bad that we found out about his being picked as the vice presidential candidate from radio,” Jeff Walz said. “And we felt like we probably should have been given a heads-up and some type of security, at
least for a short time, because I guess that is a big thing.”
