The ‘Nebraska Walz Family’ confirms viral pro-Trump photo: ‘The picture is real. The shirts are real’
Sep
A surprise photo of Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Governor Tim Walz’s family in Nebraska has sent shockwaves on social media, showcasing eight relatives proudly wearing Nebraska Walz’s For Trump Shirt in support of Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump.
The photo, shared by Rod Edwards, a close family friend, was confirmed to be genuine by Edwards himself. According to him, one of the female family members, a long-time friend in the Omaha area, showed him the photo and gave him permission to share it with others.
Edwards shared the photo with Charles Herbster, a cattle rancher and former 2022 Nebraska gubernatorial candidate, who posted it on his social media platform. The image quickly went viral, garnering millions of views after several conservative social media influencers, including Ryan Fournier and Charlie Kirk, re-shared the image.
Interestingly, all the individuals in the photo agreed to release the image, but wished to remain anonymous due to feeling “overwhelmed” by the sudden attention. The unexpected display of support for Trump has left many wondering what factors contributed to this surprising decision.
In a whirlwind of misinformation and skepticism, the Nebraska Walz Family has finally set the record straight on a viral photo that has sparked controversy and debate. The photo, which shows a group of family members proudly wearing “Trump 2024” and “J.D. Vance” t-shirts, was met with swift dismissal by many social media users who claimed it was fake.
But in a statement released to the Washington Examiner, the Nebraska Walz Family has confirmed that the photo is, in fact, real. According to the family, the photo was taken during a gathering at their home shortly after Governor Tim Walz was named the Democrat Party Vice Presidential nominee. The family members wore the shirts to show their support for President Trump and J.D. Vance.
“We took a family photo, that was shared with friends. We also granted permission for the photo to be posted. The picture is real. The shirts are real,” the family said in a statement.
But this isn’t just any ordinary family photo. The Nebraska Walz Family is related to Governor Tim Walz, with their grandfathers being brothers. This unexpected twist has sparked even more intrigue and debate.
The photo was shared on President Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, where he thanked the family for their support. Donald Trump Jr. also weighed in on X, formerly Twitter, saying that multiple members of Governor Walz’s extended family have publicly come out against him and for Trump.
Megyn Kelly, host of SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, questioned whether the photo would receive the same level of media attention as other instances of public criticism from distant relatives or family members of political opponents. Her question echoes a common sentiment among many: why should this photo be treated any differently than other examples of familial disapproval?
One notable example is Jeff Walz, Governor Tim Walz’s brother, who lives in Florida and has openly expressed his support for President Trump.
As the controversy surrounding the Nebraska Walz Family photo continues to simmer, one thing is clear: this is more than just a simple family photo – it’s a window into the complex and often contradictory relationships within political families.
