In a surprising turn of events, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s own brother, Jeff Walz, has reportedly considered aligning himself with former President Donald Trump, openly criticizing his brother as “not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”
Conservative journalist Laura Loomer uncovered Jeff Walz’s Facebook profile, revealing a series of posts that are highly critical of both his brother and the current administration.
One particularly telling post from May 2023, the same day the Biden-Harris administration indicted Donald Trump in New York City, reads, “We’ve just become a third world banana republic.”
When a follower suggested Jeff discuss these concerns with his brother, Jeff responded that he hasn’t spoken to Tim in eight years and is “100% opposed to all his ideology.” He also claimed that his family was blindsided by Tim’s political rise and that they were denied security after his selection for office.
“Haven’t spoken to him 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,” Jeff wrote.
The posts don’t stop there. When one commenter urged Jeff to “Help MAGA… Get on stage with President Trump and endorse him… Help save this country,” Jeff’s response was equally revealing: “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.”
This bombshell revelation is particularly damaging as Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are considered by many to be a weak presidential ticket, and now, the Governor’s own brother seems to be siding with Trump. Records also show that Jeff Walz donated to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, further indicating his political leanings.
As more details emerge, this family rift could have significant implications for Tim Walz’s political future and the 2024 election.
