'Do You Have Any Tissues?' CNN Tears Up Over Walz's Son
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

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.

Above is a short video of Walz bringing his family out on stage. Yanking his disabled son’s hand to get him to come. I thought it may have been AI, but I found the entire video on youtube as he greets his family and walks over to the center of the stage. It is real.

Clarification. It appears that his son has special needs. It would help everyone if media would take the time to clarify that to their audience.
