Tim Walz got some bad news from one unexpected source

Tim Walz’s time on the national stage is a disaster.

Since Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate, he’s faced one damning revelation after another.

And Tim Walz got some bad news from one unexpected source.

Tim Walz’s brother denounces him

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s brother Jeff caused quite a stir on social media when he denounced his brother’s politics.

“I’m 100% opposed to all his ideology,” Jeff Walz wrote on Facebook after Vice President Kamala Harris named his brother as her running mate.

One user told Jeff Walz that he should join former President Donald Trump on stage at a rally.

“I’ve thought long and hard about doing something like that! I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it,” Jeff Walz wrote in response.

He also wrote that his brother wasn’t worthy of being in office and had some skeletons in his closet.

“The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future,” Jeff Walz also wrote.

Jeff Walz tries to clarify

In an interview with NewsNation, Jeff Walz explained that those posts came in his capacity as a private citizen and that he wasn’t trying to influence the election.

“It wasn’t my intent, it wasn’t our intent as a family, to put something out there to influence the general public,” Jeff Walz stated.

He said he was trying to clean up misconceptions among his friends that he shared his brother’s politics.

“I was getting a lot of feedback from my friends, old acquaintances, thinking that I was feeling the same way that my brother did on the issues, and I was trying to clarify that just to friends,” Jeff Walz continued. “I used Facebook, which wasn’t the right platform to do that. But I will say, I don’t agree with his policies.”

In fact, Jeff Walz registered as a Republican in 2016 and donated $20 to Trump’s campaign.

He also claimed the stories he referred to in his Facebook post were about how when they were kids Tim Walz would puke all over everyone on car trips because he got car sick.

“Nobody wanted to sit with him, because he had car sickness and would always throw up on us, that sort of thing,” Jeff Walz recounted. “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.”

But Jeff Walz did say he and his family had some hard feelings over Tim Walz not telling them Kamala picked him as his running mate.

“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 concluded. “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.”

Jeff Walz revealed he and his brother have only spoken a handful of times in recent years.

If U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) wasn’t on speaking terms with a sibling, the media would perform a deep dive to figure out why and use it as a line of attack.

But like Tim Walz’s stolen valor scandal, the press is decidedly uninterested in why his brother won’t speak to him.
