Maga men aren't supposed to be emotional. Dems just look at Trumps non truths. Or Maga cry babies

As a former special education teacher the interview is very inspiring. It is always great when parents take a real interest in their child. That is not always the case I wonder what an interview with Barron Trump would look like?

A very proud son👏🏻

I haven't read the article yet, but I remember melting at his expression as he looked up at his father. America 🇺🇸 is good because of hearts like Gus's. 💛 Thank you, Gus.

Still #TeamGus

My allyship level? Expert at listening and enthusiastic cheering. Let's make this Pride Month the loudest and proudest yet! 📣🌈

👏👏👏

Goodness is still out there. Gotta fight for it!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So much wisdom in such young age. This says all we need to know about this young man and his lovely family. 🥰

No better feeling as a parent than to see your kid(s) happy.

Gus is such a cool guy. When I saw him on TV, I just started crying too. Such happiness at that moment and it couldn't be held back. It was such a joyous night.

I absolutely love that young man and will never forgive the fascists for the pain they caused him.

The world would be a much better place with a lot more Gus Walzs and a lot less Trumps and Musks!!!

Such a good kid.

The majority of people found his moment of pride and emotion beautiful. The loud few attacked him. I love that he didn’t let it hurt him. Kudos to his parents for raising a beautiful and resilient young man.

What a great family.

And the differences of the intellect displayed on X versus other platforms are jarring. X is for imbeciles.

Was really hoping they wouldn't include the hateful things that were said to him, but gotta generate ad space somehow. I just don't know why we feel the chronic need to hand the microphone to these assholes when it's unnecessary.

MAGA can STFU! My daughter has Autism, she's a beautiful person. I thank God everyday that she is in my life. I'm the person I'm supposed to be because of her. 💙

👍

What a beautiful family!! Only MAGA MORONS could find fault!

This young man is a very good person. He know how to love!

This -- "If people are going to say there is something wrong with that [emotions], then those are not the people that I want to be associated with."

It’s no surprise to me that Gus thrives with Tim & Gwen as his parents❣️ All kids should be so lucky . . .🍀

Man, I was really looking forward to 16 years of this family in DC. We could have had Gus, instead we have Barron. Gross.

🥹

What a sweetheart 💙

ppl are hateful

That was one of the most beautiful moments in that entire nasty campaign. May those who chose to mock that young man live to regret their cruelty for the rest of their pitiful lives.

I love the Walz family. I followed Harris since she hit the Senate floor. I didn’t know Walz until he was nominated. I feel cheated that I’ve missed all those years of following his political career. He is pure joy much like Buttigieg.

I was just thinking that - how grateful I feel to VP - for introducing us to Gov. Walz & his wonderful family. Good on Minnesota! A terrible shame for the rest…

🥰🥰🥰🙏🏼💪🏽

I’ll never get over this defeat, we could all be getting a restful night’s sleep every night if we had Harris/Walz, now we are run by Nazis 🤬

To choose emotional ways of living in the name of all that is right and true in life is not a bad thing to be quite honest...Gus Walz finds his dad honorable and noble-what's wrong with that?...how did he even get hate messages from...

supporting his dad in the first place who was trying to become Vice President at that time?...how messed up can the world get?...

Re: the negative comments: these people needed more hugs from their parents.

@georgetakei.bsky.social -it's Gus' Prom Day, thanks for this post!!!

I love the line, "a story about being beautifully human".......that is just glorious to me. I want to strive the rest of my years on this planet to be "beautifully human"!

I’ve definitely got the human part down. 😆 Imperfect humans unite!! (‘cause that’s all of us!)

Ah man, I remember that moment like it was yesterday. I was bawling like a baby. Walz and his wife raised two really awesome kids.

I love this kid

It’s a terrible day when people are angry that a son is so proud of his father that he cannot contain his excitement. The manosphere squad needs massive therapy.

I ❤️ Gus

Better than whatever horrid thing Barron said to Joe Biden

An amazing American family. 🫶🏼💙🦋

It takes a special kind of loathsome person to attack a young man who is publicly expressing love for his father. You keep going, Gus!! Thanks for sharing this story.

And Gus has more compassion, commonsense, and joy in his little finger than trump could ever hope to have.

these are the same creatures who blew their stacks over some James Comey 8647 seashell nonsense.

This entire family is just lovely.

This is a clear measure of our immaturity as a society. We have so far to go if we demean people for being moved. Odysseus was moved to tears. He was surely a man by any measure. Why not you and I?

I was so disappointed America did not get the chance to experience Gov Walz and his family. But I’m also glad Minnesota still gets to.

I wa right there with them. I had real hope. I felt real pride and saw great leaders. I am so heartbroken that they aren't in the positions they deserve to be in.

The world would be a better place if more people were like Gus. ❤️

You know George, the rest of the world has grown tired of the US. You are no longer ‘leaders of the free world’ you aren’t free yourself. No longer bastions of democracy. Just a pityful oligarchy that we won’t visit

I can relate to your comment as an American, but with young people like Gus there is hope for the US and the world.

8647. Free speech!

But I love him !!!

🫶💯🫂

It’s okay for men to cry. We should applaud him for being willing to show emotion in public.

If men cried more, the world would be a far better place.

Read his comments in the linked article. Nothing fancy, but really inspiring (at least to me).

The Trump/MAGA party has turned America into a sh!thole Country.

Well worth watching ❤️❤️❤️.

Love him 

I have so much respect for the Walz family. Please know you have lots of love and support out here!

I'm still livid.

It takes strength to openly show emotions and handle them so well.

We could have had this Second Family.

I adore Gus. I'm so glad he's speaking out.

This young man has more going for him than any member of the current GOP leadership.

You can only give what you possess. That's why MAGAs always give plenty of hate.. #America

Outstanding man that was raised properly. Some folks need to take notes.

Just remembering that moment chokes me up, that was a great moment

Gus I was so so proud of you that night you were honest and true with your emotions and please please never change..you made us love you and then we loved your Dad for being the man you loved so much xoxoxo

Sweet Gus! ❤️

Make empathy great. Ever.

This is just wonderful 😊

He’s such an amazing young man. I love him so much❤️❤️❤️

And yet Walz supports Greater Israel murdering Palestinian children to bits. GTFOH with this crap.

He's a beautiful young man.

A courageous interview❤️

Many 🇺🇸 are mean.

Gus, YOU are a wonderful person. Your parents must be so proud of you.

I never pass an opportunity to slam this Pos... Coulter is a cancer on the world. Ive never seen such hate by grown men and women directed at an autistic kid. Are they possessed by Satan? Satan probably also thinks they went too far #HellInAHandBasket

The Instigator!

If anything happens to Gus or the Walz family, we ride at dawn.

I love Gus and I wish the world would too

How anyone could not love this kiddo when he showed his pride in his father is beyond me. Most of our hearts swelled and our eyes welled. ♥️♥️♥️

It you think about it, it makes perfect sense that Republicans would think Gus' reaction to his father's speech was strange and weird. Republicans have rarely done anything that made their children proud.

. I really like this family . . . 💙 💙 💙

In trauma-informed community capacity building, the first principle is "identity your leaders." What that means, is the people who inspire. The people who make other people want to do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. We look for him, in every community we go to. THIS is a leader.

We need more Gusses! More Walzes! More love, integrity and compassion for others🫶🏼

I watched Gus speaking of his dad. Beautiful speech. So proud he was able to show his love of his dad.

It is amusing to see the accounts with pictures of muscledummies calling him names because he showed emotion, presumably because they were groomed into believing that emotion is weakness, all the while they're bottling it up waiting to explode one day in a huge, probably dangerous, outburst...

Yes, an authentic kid with integrity and a big heart.

Brave, amazing young man❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Amazing young man

Nothing wrong with being emotional and proud of your dad 💙🇨🇦 We all got emotional watching 🇨🇦

Gus, wherever you are, know this. Good people love and respect you. Take care.

Our country is filled with psychos who think death threats and bullying are the appropriate response to their own disappointment. Bunch of sickos. The Walz family is everything that is good.

Coach would’ve been a much better VP than Couch. 😢

😹funny, sad, true

but would tim have ever told another world leader to say thank you?

“We figured out I have challenges, but also strengths." -Gus Walz, from the interview 🫶🏽 🧢

beautiful words, ones that so many can relate too.

List of people we don't need in this country anymore: 1) anyone who makes fun of a child for being proud of his dad.

The FELON is so sick in his head, some is probably genetic and some is from his upbringing

What a man!

You won’t ever get empathy from a psychopath.

You are entirely correct.

I don't even understand why anyone would hate someone for being emotional. Gus is awesome. <3

❤️

all one has to do is look at Trump's Jerry Springer crowd show.

He is a beautiful and authentic human. We need more like Gus

It is. Gus’ genuine emotion that night is a favorite campaign memory… Thank you for sharing, George 🙏

Twitter and the cesspool that it is, is the very embodiment of brain rot

And so much hate. I hope it goes away forever someday.

What a great kid. A testament to the kind of parents he has.

This warmed my heart. That was truly a beautiful moment.

YES get whole piece and share please. www.comicsands.com/gus-walz-spe...

F all of them. I dig that Gus loves his dad and was totally in the moment.

Nice kid and nice family. ❤️

What horrible people there are out there

Wise young man indeed

I cry when I see this picture! It is a photo of love and devotion!

Gus was clearly taught what it means to be a good man. True family values.

Well that’s a well taught, well rounded and nice young man!

I would expect nothing less from the son of Tim Walz. Respect grows respect. You treat your children well, teach them to be good, and you get a wonderful young man like him.

It really is George. This young man is incredible.

Proud son!!! gee never see T's kids cry tears of joy!!!!

What a lovely young man!

💙💙💙

Gus Walz as a young man was proud of his father, rightfully so, and we allow him showing his emotions for the best reasons. MAGA tried to make a hero out of a young man sobbing in court, Rittenhouse, having been allowed to shoot and murder people on the streets. There is a difference.

Hey Elon - you know the autistic community you claim to belong to? We've got this guy on our shoulders, and you under our boots. Mkay?

maga republicans have no heart, no soul, no empathy and no conscience period.

The maga minority are almost pitiable …

Maybe the most wholesome moment of 2024

👍👏

He sounds so much like his dad!

youtu.be/Ue2KLKzcqLk?... I just watched the extended interview. Love, Love,Love!!!

Just being kind is sooooo hard.

We love Gus! That kid stole all our hearts. I have named the new family cat after him.

We are a super power and once we wrap the Trump crime family up we will once again do what no one else can or is willing

I can describe that moment in one word, Alex. "Real"

What a beautiful person is Gus!

America loves Gus!

💯 we will ride at dawn for Gus! 💙

Anyone that feels like they have to rip on someone because of who they are and how they are designed is morally bankrupt and deserves nothing but contempt. I do not call that group maggots for nothing.

This. When it comes to MAGA, fuck THEIR feelings.

WE get it Gus❤️ ignorance doesn’t.

Gus is a young man with a huge heart. Despite what brain donor MAGA America may want, we need more Gusses in the world and less “alpha” bros named Big Balls.

What kind of monsters hate on such an expression of pure love? People like that are lost, completely lost.

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

This young man treats pets with love and respect. I’ve heard a certain trump spawn likes to torture them. The difference couldn’t be more apparent.

The people who came after this young boy were schmucks!

All about the family and this is a good one.

Am still so disgusted that my fellow Americans were so derisive of a CHILD!

We all could take a lesson from Gus Walz!

Gus made my heart feel awesome at a time that I was feeling not good. He loves his dad. I will always love him for showing that without hesitation.

It is! What a great kid.

Some people are hateful. I bet they're the same people who will piss & moan about not being able to get a date. Ipso facto -- right here!

Thank you.

Gus is a good kid. His love for his dad was awesome and beautiful

Republicans are such utter pieces of shit.

We love you Gus 💙💙💙

we have to bar hate from this place. no, it is not a right. it does lifelong harm. it is a Crime Against Humanity.

Just remember - most MAGATs hate their lives and want everyone else to be as miserable as they are. It why they hate Hollywood, Sports and Music stars and follow chumps like The Felon and EloNazi. Hate begets Hate

Gus is who we should all be, simply a person who wants to help people. 🫶🏼

Love to Gus and the family Walz.

💗 that it is George!!

The absolute degradation of a person with birth defects is completely abhorrent. I might concede a point if it were by choice. Magas choose to be ignorant with global information at their finger tips it is their choice to not try to look for reason.

What an incredible person and a fantastic family. We lost such an opportunity to have such light and joy in our government and in our lives. We are the poorer for it.

A good son who loves his dad. Magnificent!

I can’t wait to watch the interview. I think it’s tough for anyone to be thrown into a national spotlight. He handled it well. I would be crying if my father or spouse was nominated for a national office

He is such a nice young man! Maga could learn a lot from him. 🥰

George Washington, after learning of the loss of Fort Ticonderoga. " Our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so, I trust, it will again." Slavery, Civil War, WWII, 911. Now it's TRUMP. It will get better, do not give in to despair. VOTE them out of office.

He’s a wonderful human. America really messed up by not electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz into office. 😢

Such big tough guys, going after a 17 year old for being emotional... Says it all about MAGA

It’s the same guys who, when we are out protesting, go down the line red faced and sweaty and point at each of us and scream “R*tard!!” I just look at them and think, you are such pathetic men. Pathetic. And I’ve had this happen more than once.

I watched that night and cried. There was the emotional connection of love that transposed words. That night we were all Gus. Gus, as we told our son many times having a good heart is priceless. You stay you. 💕

Respects!

This kid is the best of us.

Good for Gus! So much more mature than the supposed adults in MAGA. You can see and hear the love in this family. Just wonderful to see.

#TeamGus

What a great interview. We could have had this family in the VP Residence. That would have been great, too.

What a beautiful interview!!🙏🙏
