Imagine a scenario where a group of people from your family takes sides against you in the most important contest of your life.
That is what happened to Democrat vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz who has had a large group of his family, including his own brother, support former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, against him.
But unlike Mary Trump and the former president’s nephew, who have been given tons of media coverage, there has been a blanket blackout of the Walz family.
That changed on Wednesday when the former president was interviewed by Fox News host Sean Hannity where he thanked them for their support.

“I don’t know how many Americans are truly familiar with her positions of decriminalizing illegal immigration and free housing, healthcare, education. Tim Walz wants free college education, legal driver’s licenses. And she wants a path to citizenship,” the host said on another topic when the former president interrupted.
“I was so honored today. His brother endorsed me,” Trump responded.
“I saw that,” said Hannity.
“And his whole family. I saw the picture. And honestly, it was a very nice looking family. But his brother endorsed me. And the whole family endorsed me. I said, who are all the people?” the Republican presidential candidate said.
“Let me tell you, there’s something, there’s something weird with that guy. He’s a weird guy. J.D. is not weird. He’s a solid rock. I happen to be a very solid rock. We’re not weird. We’re other things perhaps, but we’re not weird,” Trump added.
“But he is a weird guy. He walks on the stage, and there’s something wrong with that guy. And he called me weird. And then the fake news media picks it up. That was the word of the day. Weird, weird, weird. They’re all going. But we’re not weird guys. We’re very solid people who want our country to be great again. I mean, it’s very simple,” he said.
