'Do You Have Any Tissues?' CNN Tears Up Over Walz's Son

At least seven times today in the show's opening minutes, CNN This Morning ran the clip from last night's DNC of Tim Walz's son Gus getting emotional and pointing to his father as he spoke: "That's my dad!"
The panel collectively teared up, with Mark McKinnon saying "I've teared up every time I've seen the clip. I tear up thinking about the clip. I mean, talking right now about it I'm tearing up. Do you have any tissues?" McKinnon also swooned over Walz's speech, declaring, "I'm telling you, in all my experience, I have never seen anything as authentic as that speech."
Biden's former comms director Kate Bedingfield chimed in, saying "if you aren't moved by that, I don't know. You got a heart of stone." Bedingfield also referred to Gus's emotion for his father as "winning." Whether she meant that in political terms, or in the sense of winning as a family matter, wasn't clear.

The dems will use him as a prop and will manufacture an outrage if anyone criticizes him.
That said, all kids should be hands off to political commentary and it is great that this kid is proud of his father. Hopefully some day he see the evil of the modern Democrat party.

The kid is
NOT NOT NOT IVF. More lies. The kid is artificial insemination directly into the uterine tubes.
How do you know Walz is lying? That's right; he's moving his lips.

It all depends on whose ox is getting the bribe money.

Wonder if the little crybaby was tearing up while the city burned or maybe the smoke from all those tires was responsible.

My guess is that Timmy is a BISEXUAL, and just wanted kids to further his political ambitions.

Instead of tissues I would have used toilet paper. Walz stinks.

Perhaps. It did seem like they tried for seven years naturally. Maybe he couldn’t perform. My thing is he’s only 60, but looks 80. I’m not even kidding. He looks like he could be Kamala’s father. It’s very weird.

“He’s an IVF baby.”
He’s not IVF. Walz lied about that. Even his wife had to clarify with the truth. It was IUI.

Damn them! Why can’t he just be factual. His lies about this and his service are dumb. Nothing at all wrong with retirement at E-8 or even being honest in saying I wanted to change careers and am sorry I let my guys down. That’d go a long way then the stupid lies.

As one who supported Palin and not the one whose name shouldn’t be mentioned, I find that rather hard to believe.
Since you made the accusation.... lay em on the table.... if’n you can.
