A tearful, unscripted moment between Tim Walz and his 17-year-old son, Gus, has unleashed a flood of praise and admiration – but also prompted ugly online bullying.
Gus Walz, who has a nonverbal learning disorder as well as anxiety and ADHD, watched excitedly from the front row of Chicago’s United Center and sobbed openly Wednesday night as his father, the Democratic nominee for vice president, delivered his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.
…
Conservative columnist and right-wing provocateur Ann Coulter mocked the teenager’s tears. “Talk about weird,” she wrote on X. The message has since been deleted.
Mike Crispi, a Trump supporter and podcaster from New Jersey, mocked Walz’s “stupid crying son” on X and added, “You raised your kid to be a puffy beta male. Congrats.”
Alec Lace, a Trump supporter who hosts a podcast about fatherhood, took his own swipe at the teenager: “Get that kid a tampon already,” he wrote, an apparent reference to a Minnesota state law that Walz signed as governor in that required schools to provide free menstrual supplies to students.
They don’t understand kids loving their parents.
No, they don’t understand sons loving their fathers.
They’re weirdly into daughters loving their fathers though.
Yeah they would have loved if it was an attractive 15 year old girl instead, probably would have invited her on a jet to a private island…
Ann coulter literally said “talk about weird.”
“That kid really loves his dad. Is no one else seeing this?! What a strange relationship.”
The conservative mindset in a nutshell.
Specifically their own kids loving them.
