Backlash erupts over criticism of Tim Walz’s emotional son:
‘families are everything’
The intense emotional response of vice-president hopeful Tim Walz’s son to seeing his father on stage
– “That’s my dad!”
– thrust him into the spotlight as the convention’s breakout star
and with them raised the issue of nonverbal learning disorders, ADHD and an anxiety disorder that the 17-year-old is reported to experience.
The conservative commentator #Ann #Coulter posted an article on X about Gus’s reaction, captioning it: 🆘“Talk about weird …”
❇️But the backlash against the mean-spirited post was swift.
“He’s 17” trended on the platform and Coulter – unusually – took the post down.
⭐️“I can see why a child loving their parents would feel foreign to you,” wrote Obama staffer-turned-liberal podcaster Tommy Vietor.
It’s never been easy as the child of a high-profile US candidate, but the latest crop of presidential or vice-presidential hopeful offspring may be getting it worse than most,
and there is no avoiding the spotlight of both traditional media and social media.

Gotta hand it to this one...
Although she is in general "a racist ass" and #GQP clown, she's right here. #Coulter

These scary/head-in-the-sand #TrumpVirus cultists are saying "we must support him or desist". Seems more like a case of making a point of supporting "the Devil" incarnate, OR becoming "woke" from the cult indoctrination of "alternative facts" and seeing, eyes-open, just how evil/criminal their false idol is.

Even though #Thiel has been #outed as gay, he supports #Trump, and many other far-right activities.
