Tim Walz’s older brother is ‘100% against his ideology’, believes the VP is not the ‘type of person’ who should be making decisions about the future of the US.

Tim Walz’s older brother is ‘100% against his ideology’, believes the VP is not the ‘type of person’ who should be making decisions about the future of the US.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is not “the type of character” who should be making decisions about America’s future, his older brother warned in a series of damning Facebook comments this week.

“I’m 100 percent against his whole ideology,” Jeff Walz said Friday night of the far-left Minnesota governor and running mate of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

And he has so little faith in his younger brother, Jeff Walz is now considering publicly endorsing former President Trump’s bid for the White House, he told a Facebook poster who urged him to “Get on stage with President Trump and… I support him”.

“I thought long and hard about doing something like this! I’m torn between this and keeping my family out of it,” the 67-year-old Floridian wrote in a reply that has 449 likes.

“The stories I could tell. Not the kind of character you want making decisions about your future,” he added.

In addition to Jeff, Tim Walz, 60, has a sister, Sandy Dietrich, 63, who lives in Nebraska, where the Walz clan grew up. Another brother, Craig Walz, 44, died when a tree fell on him during a storm that tore through a Minnesota campground in 2016.

Jeff and Tim Walz haven’t spoken in eight years, Jeff Walz wrote.

And the governor — who has fudged the details of his military career and delayed calling in the National Guard even as his state burned during the George Floyd riots — didn’t bother to inform his older brother that Harris’ running mate had been chosen .

“My family received no notification that he was selected,” Jeff Walz wrote.

Jeff Walz’s feelings about his younger brother came to light after conservative activist Laura Loomer discovered a Facebook post he wrote on March 30, 2023 — the day Trump was indicted by a grand jury in Manhattan for hush-hush payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Little has been reported about the married father who lives in Freeport, Florida with his wife Laurie.

Social media shows him sailfishing in Costa Rica in February. “It’s been a dream for many years. The most exciting fishing I have ever done!” he wrote.

Other posts show Walz on the beach and smiling and hugging two young children in various family outings, including one with Disney World’s “Tree of Life” in the background.

He and Laurie owned So Fine Music in Inverness, a musical instrument and equipment store from 2001 to 2010, according to public records. Walz was also an assistant principal at a middle school in Citrus County in the early 2000s.

Laurie Walz is Facebook friends with a number of relatives in the extended Walz family, including Jeff’s siblings Tim Walz and Sandy Dietrich, and several members of the Dietrich family.

A 1977 Chadron Record article recognized Jeff Walz for being accepted into a national research program and attending graduate school at Iowa State University to study physics.

It is unclear what caused the apparent rift between the brothers.

But they have something in common – brushes with the law.

As governor of Minnesota, he imposed some of the toughest coronavirus lockdowns in the country — which led to declining education levels under his watch.

Like Harris, he has repeatedly pledged his commitment to fairness—a staple of Marxist ideology. And it turned Minnesota into a “trans refugee” state that signs legislation to protect gender-affirming care and provide tampons in school bathrooms.

“Tim Walz’s own brother knows his socialist ideology is dangerous to America. With Kamala Harris, inflation will rise, the illegal immigration crisis will worsen, and our nation will look more like Venezuela,” said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY).

“Someone who puts tampons in boys’ bathrooms, lets their cities burn during police riots, and charges debt-ridden citizens to give illegal immigrants free tuition should not be in elected office, let alone vice president,” she added.

Jeff Walz is not the first family member to run afoul of a prominent political relative.

Harris is apparently estranged from her father, Donald; Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s family denounced his now-defunct presidential campaign.

Former President Obama was encouraged by his Kenyan half-brother, Malik, while Trump faced a lengthy book condemnation from his niece Mary Trump, along with another tome from his nephew, Fred Trump.

“If the mainstream media has no problem amplifying the voices of Mary Trump and RFK Jr.’s family speaking out against Republicans, then the American people deserve to hear more from Tim Walz’s brother,” Rep. Lauren Boebert ( R-Colorado) ) told The Post.

Campaign representatives for Harris and Walz did not respond to requests for comment.
