Tim Walz’s Brother is “100% Opposed” to Kamala’s VP Pick and His Radical Leftist Ideology

Tim Walz is not the “type of character” who should make decisions about America’s future, his older brother warned in social media posts over the weekend.

“I’m 100% opposed to all his ideology,” Jeff Walz said on Friday.

As the New York Post reported:

He has so little faith in his kid brother, Jeff Walz is considering publicly endorsing former President Donald Trump’s White House run, he told a Facebook poster who urged him to “Get on stage with President Trump and endorse him.”

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

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

Harris could not have picked a more radically pro-abortion activist to join her ticket.

Walz signed a bill to allows abortions up to birth. But he also put his signature on allowing infanticide, letting babies die who survive abortions.

Babies survive abortions every year, including five in 2021 just in Minnesota. But the state no longer protects their lives.

Minnesota Democrats took control of the state legislature in 2023 and quickly passed a series of radical pro-abortion bills. One repealed a state law that required medical providers to provide medical care for newborns who survive abortions and report the situation to authorities.

In 2021 alone, five babies were reported born alive, according to data from the Minnesota Department of Health.

The report provides more details than most about what happened to the babies:

  • In one instance, fetal anomalies were reported resulting in death shortly after delivery. No measures taken to preserve life were reported and the infant did not survive.
  • In two instance, comfort care measures were provided as planned and the infant did not survive.
  • In two instances, the infant was previable. No measures taken to preserve life were reported and the infant did not survive.

The report mentions “previable” with two of the babies, raising questions about whether the other three babies were viable. It does not mention their gestational ages.

But the bill Walz signed leaves them totally unprotected.

The Omnibus bill, SF 2995, was largely crafted behind closed doors without input from Republicans on the conference committee. The bill stripped out Minnesota’s existing requirement that reasonable measures be taken to “preserve the life and health” of born-alive infants, replacing it with a requirement for “care,” which the bill’s House author, Rep. Tina Liebling (DFL-Rochester), has described as mere “comfort” care. Under the new language, an infant could be denied lifesaving care and allowed to die.\

In support of repealing the protection for newborns, some lawmakers falsely claimed that the repealed language required inappropriate or futile attempts to save the infants’ lives. Instead, the repealed law simply required “reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice.” Disabled babies, whose lives are often devalued, could be especially at risk from the denial of this basic protection. 

Reacting to the action, Renee Carlson, general counsel with the Minnesota Family Council, said their state now has one of the most “extreme abortion regimes” in the U.S.

“Based on elusive claims about access to abortion and with insufficient public notice or debate, the Minnesota legislature and Walz administration created one of the most extreme abortion regimes in the country,” Carlson said this spring. “Minnesota’s newly elected Democratic trifecta created a fundamental right to abortion by repealing, and thus removing, nearly all health and safety protections in civil and criminal law regulating abortion, impacting women and young girls.”

Other bills that Walz signed included taxpayer funding for abortions, and the repeal of a program that provided resources to assist “pregnant and parenting women in developing and maintaining family stability and self-sufficiency.” Pro-life pregnancy resource centers were involved in providing these services, making the program a target of pro-abortion activists.
