Report: Brother of Kamala Harris' Running Mate Tim Walz Supports Trump

According to recent social media reports, the brother of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who is Kamala Harris' running mate, is a supporter of former President Donald Trump and appears to be estranged from his sibling.

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer shared screenshots allegedly from Jeff Walz, Tim Walz's brother, revealing that he contributed to Trump's 2016 campaign and expressed dissatisfaction with the far-left policies endorsed by Democrats.

Loomer also posted images of what seem to be conversations between Jeff Walz and his Facebook friends, where Jeff implies that he has not spoken to his brother, Tim, in several years and has "potentially damaging stories" about him.

“Haven’t spoke to him (Tim) 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,” wrote Jeff Walz, who resides in Florida.

When a Facebook user suggested that Jeff contact the Trump campaign, he reportedly responded, “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.”

Loomer further highlighted that “Jeff has spoken out about the Biden-Harris regime and how Kamala Harris has turned our country into a ‘third world banana Republic.'”

Since Harris chose Tim Walz as her running mate, not much has been reported about his family. However, his policies and actions as Minnesota's governor, along with past statements about his military service, have come under scrutiny.

Videos have surfaced showing the governor exaggerating his military background, including false claims of achieving the rank of command sergeant major and being deployed to a war zone.

In a C-SPAN video, then-U.S. Rep. Walz told a Gold Star family during a PTSD hearing that he had been deployed to Afghanistan in 2004 for Operation Enduring Freedom. He also claimed that soldiers under his command faced mental health issues and were shown “the horse whisperer” and “told us to be nice” upon their return.

“And 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 — 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,” Walz stated.

“And I, being in there and knowing as a first sergeant, knowing exactly what you’re saying and watching as people aren’t trained on this, that there’s a discrimination that goes against a soldier who has the courage, the fortitude, and, as you said, the insight to admit this. So there’s a couple of things I want to ask you,” he added.

Walz served in the Army and Army National Guard for 24 years but never saw combat. He opted to retire when his unit received deployment orders to Iraq rather than accompany them, a decision that has drawn significant criticism from Sen. J.D. Vance, who served in Iraq as a Marine public affairs officer, as well as from senior enlisted personnel from Walz’s former unit.
