That's My Dad

Another example of the difference between the two parties

It’s not often a 17-year-old upstages Sheila E., John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Keenan Thompson, and Oprah, but Gus Walz did exactly that. You’re a rock star, kid.

Gus, which sounds like a very good name for a Minnesota kid, is Tim Walz’s son. As you already know. Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota and the vice presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket.

Tim killed it last, delivering a great speech that included lots of football metaphors for the former coach. I was in the hallway of the United Center when Democrats were unboxing the “Coach Walz” signs. I should have snagged one for a souvenir.

Coach Walz probably appealed to a lot of dads and football families during his speech which some believe was the best from Wednesday night. His former players came out for him in their jerseys.

But it was Gus who won hearts during the speech. Gus and his sister, Hope, were both crying as Walz talked about how he and his wife had struggled to have children, and how fertility treatments had made it possible for them to conceive.

Walz said, “Hope, Gus, and Gwen, you are my entire world, and I love you.” Hope was taking pictures of her dad with a disposable camera and held up her hands in the shape of a heart. Gus stood up, pointed to his dad, crying in joy, and said, “That’s my dad!”

It was a tear-jerker of a moment for human beings. As I said…for human beings.

Today, Republicans are already attacking Gus for this. You know the ones I’m talking about…the same Republicans who say leave Barron Trump alone. The same Republicans who attacked the looks of Chelsea Clinton when her parents were in the White House when she was a child.

Ann Coulter, who I’ve kinda forgotten about since Laura Loomer has taken her place as MAGA’s newer female mascot for hate, gaslighting, and lies, tweeted a pic of Gus crying with, “Talk about weird.” She later deleted the post.

Mike Crispi, chairman of the America First Republicans of New Jersey, also deleted his heartless tweet, which said, “Tim Walz stupid crying son isn’t the flex the left thinks it is. You raised your kid to be a puffy beta male. Congrats”

I guess bullying an underage child wasn’t the “flex” Mr. Crispi thought it was.

As for Laura Loomer, while defending the people bullying an underage child, she posted, “ Let me be the first to say Fuck the entire family of Governor Tim Walz.”

I would like to be the first to say that Laura Loomer is a vile evil racist low-life rancid excuse of a human being, but I’m pretty sure someone’s already said it.

Loomer claims it’s justified because the left attacked Barron which is something I don’t recall anyone doing…ever. But DJTJ is fair game.

Donald Trump Jr is an adult and on top of that, just like Laura Loomer, he’s a vile piece of shit. He’s the one who tweeted memes rejoicing and knocking Paul Pelosi being attacked with a hammer inside his home by a MAGA goon, but turned around and cried about people disrespecting his dad after someone shot at him.

So if you want to go after Sniffy Jr, be my guest to take your gloves off and go at it.

Convention note: I may be able to sneak back into the convention tonight. My hookup says it’s looking good. Cross your fingers.

Also, my flight is at 5 A.M. tomorrow, so yeah…tonight might get rough.
