Tim Walz's Republican Brother Just Opened Up About Their Childhood Together, And Yeah, It Checks Out
You probably remember this Tim Walz meme, right?
Tim Walz points the stud finder at himself and says “well, looks like it’s working” before putting up a shelf.

The wholesome Tim Walz memes were all over my timeline the other week:
I just know Tim Walz could teach me how to drive stick shift without making me cry once

My favorite being this one about zucchinis on a car seat:
My real concern with @GovTimWalz is that he seems like the kinda guy if you leave your car unlocked in the summer, he's going to leave you 6 zucchinis on your front seat.

Well, now we're learning some real-life stories about the guy that kind of check out with all of these fake ones.
According to the NY Post, Tim Walz's older brother, Jeff Walz, posted on Facebook that he was "100% opposed to all of his [brother's] ideologies."
The registered Republican said Tim was "Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future." He also said "the stories he could tell," insinuating he had some nasty stories about him.
Well, now Jeff Walz is backtracking on all of that.
Jeff told NewsNation that he doesn't agree with his brother's policies but isn't trying to influence the general public's opinion about him.
He said he hadn't spoken to his brother since their younger brother's funeral in 2016 but has kept things civil.
He also shared one of these "stories" he was talking about on Facebook, which clearly happened when they were kids.
“Nobody wanted to sit with him, because he had car sickness and would always throw up on us, that sort of thing,” he said.
“There’s really nothing else hidden behind there. People are assuming something else. There’s other stories like that, but I think that probably gives you the gist of it.”
So, there you have it. The guy gets car sick. That's it. That's the "story."
Now, hopefully, they don't discover his garbage tutorial videos anytime soon!
Walz has the vibes of a man who makes short, helpful videos on how to fix garbage disposals in his spare time.
