Jeff Walz said his brother is not fit to be vice-president, in a series of posts unearthed by Laura Loomer
Jeff Walz believes his brother Tim is “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.” Jeff Walz has even suggested joining forces with Donald Trump against his brother and Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Journalist Laura Loomer uncovered a series of devastating Facebook posts by Jeff Walz about his brother. The two men appear to have been estranged for some years.
“Haven’t spoke to him in 8 years. I’m 100% opposed to all his ideology. My family wasn’t given any notice [that] he was selected and denied security the days after,” Jeff Walz wrote in one Facebook post, in response to a comment that he should “have a talk” with his brother.
In another post he said he had “thought hard” about openly endorsing Donald Trump, and clearly suggested his brother is not vice-president material.
“I’ve thought hard about doing something like that! 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.”
Commenting on the posts, Laura Loomer said on Twitter: “Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are such a bad Presidential ticket that Walz’s own BROTHER is supporting Donald Trump instead.” She also notes that Walz’s brother donated to the Trump campaign in 2016.
This isn’t the first denunciation from somebody close to Tim Walz. The former commander of Walz’s batallion in the Minnesota National Guard, John Kolb, wrote a long post about the Minnesota governor on Facebook, describing him as a poor leader and a coward.
“I do not regret that Tim Walz retired early from the Minnesota Army National Guard, did not complete the Sergeants Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract or did not successfully complete any assignment as a Sergeant Major. Unwittingly, he got out of the way for better leadership.”
