Conservative pundit Ann Coulter saw the display of emotions as an opportunity to deride the family. In a since deleted tweet, Coulter shared a gif of Gus Walz at the DNC and called it "weird," an obvious reference to Tim Walz popularizing the idea that MAGA people are "weird."
Closer to home, Jay Weber, a radio host for 1130 WISN-AM, tweeted, "If the Walzs [sic] represent today's American man, this country is screwed: 'Meet my son, Gus. He's a blubbering bitch boy. His mother and I are very proud'." The now-deleted tweet was screenshotted and shared by Milwaukee County Board Supervisor Shawn Rolland to hold Weber accountable.
Weber apologized for the tweet, stating that he didn't realize Gus Walz had a disability.
This is the core problem with toxic masculinity that drags men and boys down and makes far too many of them violent, including toward those they love.
