The brother of Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is a supporter of former President Donald Trump and appears to be estranged from his sibling, according to reports posted to social media on Friday.

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer posted screengrabs of posts reportedly by Jeff Walz, the governor’s brother, indicating that he donated to Trump’s 2016 campaign and is dissatisfied with far-left policies promoted by Democrats.

“Haven’t spoke to him (Tim) in 8 years. I’m 100% opposed to all his ideology. My family wasn’t given any notice thst he was selected and denied security the days after,” Jeff Walz, who lives in Florida, wrote.

When another Facebook user suggested that Jeff get in touch with the Trump campaign, he reportedly wrote, “I’ve thought hard about doing something like that! I’m torn between that and just keeping my family out of it. The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future.”

Loomer noted further: “Jeff has spoken out about the Biden-Harris regime and how Kamala Harris has turned our country into a ‘third world banana Republic.'”

In the weeks since Harris selected Tim Walz as her running mate, not much has been reported regarding his family. However, many of his policies and actions as Minnesota governor, as well as previous statements regarding his military service, have been scrutinized.

That said, videos have surfaced showing the governor dramatically embellishing his military record, including false claims that he achieved the rank of command sergeant major and that he had been deployed to a war zone.

In one C-SPAN video, then-U.S. Rep. Walz is telling a Gold Star family — that is, a family who has lost a loved one in battle — during a hearing on PTSD that he had been deployed to Afghanistan in 2004 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He further claimed that troops he was responsible for had suffered from some mental health issues and were shown “the horse whisperer” and “told us to be nice” when they returned home.

“And both of you, with your keen understanding of how this works, especially from National Guard families, I can tell you this, having been one of those that came back, we were in support of OEF, but being — sitting in there with OEF, OIF veterans. When we came back, they showed us the horse whisperer and told us to be nice when we went home. And that was the extent of it,” Walz claimed.

“And I, being in there and knowing as a first sergeant, knowing exactly what you’re saying and watching as people aren’t trained on this, that there’s a discrimination that goes against a soldier who has the courage, the fortitude, and, as you said, the insight to admit this. So there’s a couple of things I want to ask you,” he said.

Walz served in the Army and Army National Guard for 24 years but he never served in combat. In fact, he decided to retire once his unit got orders to deploy to Iraq rather than deploy with them, a decision that has earned him wide condemnation from Sen. J.D. Vance, who did deploy to Iraq as a Marine public affairs officer, as well as senior enlisted personnel from Walz’s former unit.
