Tim Walz, is a supporter of former President Donald Trump and appears to be estranged from his sibling, according to reports posted to social media on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigative journalist Laura Loomer posted screengrabs of posts reportedly by Jeff Walz, the governor\u2019s brother, indicating that he donated to Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign and is dissatisfied with far-left policies promoted by Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/LauraLoomer\/status\/1829645001833304391\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loomer also posted screenshots of what appear to be Walz communicating with Facebook friends suggesting that he hasn\u2019t been in touch with Tim Walz for a number of years and that he has several potentially damaging stories to tell regarding his brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/LauraLoomer\/status\/1829681267006222809\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHaven\u2019t spoke to him (Tim) in 8 years. I\u2019m 100% opposed to all his ideology. My family wasn\u2019t given any notice thst he was selected and denied security the days after,\u201d Jeff Walz, who lives in Florida, wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When another Facebook user suggested that Jeff get in touch with the Trump campaign, he reportedly wrote, \u201cI\u2019ve thought hard about doing something like that! I\u2019m 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loomer noted further: \u201cJeff has spoken out about the Biden-Harris regime and how Kamala Harris has turned our country into a \u2018third world banana Republic.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JUST IN: Tim Walz&#39;s brother says he is considering joining forces with Trump, says his brother is &quot;not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.&quot;<br><br>Jeff Walz&#39;s Facebook profile was discovered by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LauraLoomer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LauraLoomer<\/a> who found several stunning posts.<br><br>&quot;The stories\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5mWP242keh\">pic.twitter.com\/5mWP242keh<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CollinRugg\/status\/1829693435047252022?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 31, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the weeks since Harris selected Tim Walz as her running mate, not much has been reported regarding his family. However, many of his policies and actions as Minnesota governor, as well as previous statements regarding his military service, have been scrutinized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, videos have surfaced showing the governor dramatically embellishing his military record, including false claims that he achieved the rank of command sergeant major and that he had been deployed to a war zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one C-SPAN video, then-U.S. Rep. Walz is telling a Gold Star family \u2014 that is, a family who has lost a loved one in battle \u2014 during a hearing on PTSD that he had been deployed to Afghanistan in 2004 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He further claimed that troops he was responsible for had suffered from some mental health issues and were shown \u201cthe horse whisperer\u201d and \u201ctold us to be nice\u201d when they returned home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd both of you, with your keen understanding of how this works, especially from National Guard families, I can tell you this, having been one of those that came back, we were in support of OEF, but being \u2014 sitting in there with OEF, OIF veterans. When we came back, they showed us the horse whisperer and told us to be nice when we went home. And that was the extent of it,\u201d Walz claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd I, being in there and knowing as a first sergeant, knowing exactly what you\u2019re saying and watching as people aren\u2019t trained on this, that there\u2019s a discrimination that goes against a soldier who has the courage, the fortitude, and, as you said, the insight to admit this. So there\u2019s a couple of things I want to ask you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walz served in the Army and Army National Guard for 24 years but he never served in combat. In fact, he decided to retire once his unit got orders to deploy to Iraq rather than deploy with them, a decision that has earned him wide condemnation from Sen. J.D. Vance, who did deploy to Iraq as a Marine public affairs officer, as well as senior enlisted personnel from Walz\u2019s former unit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The brother of Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 running mate, Minnesota Gov.
