Minnesota Governor and Democrat VP candidates Tim Walz’s older brother, 67-year-old Jeff Walz, who donated $20 to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, caused a stir on social media when he declared in an Aug. 30 Facebook post that he is, “100% opposed” to his brother’s “ideology.”
“The stories I could tell,” Jeff Walz added. “Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”
He also indicated that he’s “thought long and hard” about endorsing Trump but is “torn between that and just keeping my family out of it.”
Aside from a “two-minute conversation” during the vice-presidential vetting process, Jeff Walz hasn’t spoken to his brother since 2016, he said in a recent interview with News Nation.
However, in that interview, Jeff Walz indicated that he had no intention of campaigning with the former president or endorsing him.
“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 according to reporting by the New York Post.
“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 added according to the UK’s Independent. “I used Facebook, which wasn’t the right platform to do that. But I will say, I don’t agree with his policies.”
However, other relatives of the Far Left Minnesota Governor were not so bashful about stating their preference in the 2024 election for President.
A photo was shared online by former Nebraska Republican gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster, the head of Trump’s Rural Americans for Trump Coalition. It shows eight people wearing "Nebraska Walz’s for Trump" t-shirts. "Tim Walz's family back in Nebraska wants you to know something…" Herbster wrote on X.
Family members told Fox News they consider themselves "distant" from Walz and have never met or spoken with him. One person in the photo who wished to remain anonymous said they are supporting Trump because "he supports our values."
After the picture started spreading online, the descendants of Francis Walz confirmed their relationship to Tim Walz in a text message to The Associated Press.
"Shortly after Governor Tim Walz was named the Democratic Party's Vice-Presidential nominee, our family had a get-together. We had T-shirts made to show support for President Trump and JD Vance, and we took a group picture. That photo was shared with friends, and when we were asked for permission to post the picture, we agreed," the written statement said according to a report in Newsweek.
"The picture is real. The shirts are real. We are the Nebraska Walz family, and we are related to Gov. Tim Walz. Our grandfathers were brothers. The message on the shirts speaks for itself: 'Nebraska Walzs for Trump."
Walz’s mother and sister, both lifelong Democrats, stood up for the Commie VP candidate and Momma Walz told the media in a somewhat snobby tone that the Trump-supporting family members “were mostly second cousins” and “we weren’t close with them. We didn’t know them.”
Brother Jeff Walz later clarified that “the stories I could tell” involved stuff such as the youthful Governor Walz always getting car sick and barfing on his siblings. However, left hanging and unqualified or retracted was the telling comment that Tim Walz is “Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”
Tim Walz is “Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future,” is definitely something worth thinking about, and we think it’s the most important takeaway from the otherwise comedic dissection of the Walz family politics and genealogy.

Wicked Walz is a baby murdering liberal. That in and of itself is more than enough reason to never vote for him or to trust him any further than you can throw him.
