Jeff Walz, brother of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, has urged people not to vote for the far-left Minnesota governor.
Jeff has aired his political views on Facebook before, but on Friday he issued a scathing rebuke of his brother Tim, who he says he “100%” opposes Waltz's extreme policies, one of which is his staunch support for gay child molesters.
Jeff's latest comments are yet another major blow to the Harris campaign, which was dealt a bone-chilling blow last week when Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris ruined an otherwise friendly interview with Trump-hating CNN talk show host Dana Bash.
Fanatic ideology
Jeff never forgave his brother Tim, and according to the New York Post, the two haven't spoken to each other in eight years.
“I'm 100 percent against his ideology,” Jeff said, adding that he might support former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“He urged Facebook posters to 'get on stage with President Trump and support him,'” the paper continued.
“I've been thinking long and hard about doing something like that! I'm torn between doing it and not involving my family,” wrote a 67-year-old Florida man in a reply that received 449 likes.
“A story I can tell. Not the type of person I want making decisions about my future,” he added.
The brothers were so estranged that Tim didn't call Jeff to tell him that Harris had tapped him, a relative unknown, to be her running mate.
“My family was not notified that he had been selected,” Jeff wrote, according to the Post.
And, again, this isn't the first time Waltz has expressed his beliefs on Facebook.
“We have become a Third World banana republic,” Trump wrote on March 30 when a grand jury indicted him for paying hush money to porn actress Stormy Daniels. In May, a jury convicted Trump in a sham trial orchestrated by an unethical, Trump-hating judge who happened to be a Biden campaign donor and whose daughter was a Biden campaign veteran.
The post continues:
Federal Election Commission records show the Republican gave $20 to Trump's campaign in 2016. There is no record of any donations to Tim Walz's brother when he was a congressman.
Yet the two men share one unfortunate parallel: Jeff Waltz has a criminal history, as does Tim Waltz, who was arrested in 1995 for reckless driving and drunk driving. “He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of retail theft in 2001 and received six months' probation, according to public records in Citrus Country, Florida,” The Washington Post reports.
Bizarrely, according to the Tampa Bay Times, he left the Walmart with “a bicycle inner tube, handlebar grips and a three-prong adapter (totaling $13) that he'd bought at the Inverness Walmart, and a letter of reprimand from the Florida Board of Education.” At the time, he was a middle school assistant principal.
Military troubles
But Jeff Waltz's opinion of his brother doesn't seem to be the biggest concern for Team Harris.
Tim Walz's choice for vice president has been a sticking point in the campaign since day one.
Almost immediately, his questionable military record and other issues surfaced.
First, the revelation of Walz's true military rank at retirement sparked social media buzz, including a fact little known, at least outside Minnesota political circles: Walz retired from the Minnesota National Guard to avoid deployment to Iraq.
After all, he did not retire from the National Guard as a sergeant major as he claimed, but as a sergeant major because he did not meet the qualifications for the rank to which he had been conditionally promoted.
“On May 16, 2005, he resigned, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers in limbo without a senior NCO at a time when the battalion was preparing for war,” two senior sergeants wrote in a paid letter to the newspaper in 2018.
“When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, do you know what he did?” asked Republican Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio and vice presidential candidate. “He quit the Army and let his troops go without him.”
Additionally, in his campaign for gun confiscation, Walz made the following false claims:
I was in the Army for 25 years, I hunt, and I have voted for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can have background checks, we can study the effects of gun violence, and we can make sure that the weapons of war that I carried in war are only carried in war.
Waltz has never been to war.
Radical Family
His daughter Hope also leaked plans for the National Guard on Twitter during the 2020 Floyd riots. Riots spread across the country after drug addict and habitual offender George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest. Governor Walz allowed rioters to burn down 1,000 stores and a police station. His wife Gwen said she kept the windows open to inhale the smoke of rage and savor the moment. Racial justice was blowing in the wind.
Soon after, more interesting stories emerged: news spread that Waltz was in good company with apologists for radical Islamic terrorism and anti-Semites, and that he supported “Pride” parades that featured nearly naked sexual perverts twerking in front of children.
The media subsequently exposed the lie that Waltz and his wife had used IVF to have a child.
Then came disaster for CNN: The interview was so shocking that CNN cut the pre-recorded chat by more than 50 percent, from 41 minutes to 18 minutes.
And adding to the campaign's difficulties last week, it was revealed that Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat sent to defend Walz's military record, had not received the significant military decorations he claimed.
