Michelle Obama, the former first lady, praised Gus Walz, the brother of vice president member Tim Walz, whose heartfelt speech at the Democratic National Convention attracted the attention of many people. After political critic Ann Coulter called him “weird,” she even took a stand against the abuse he faced.
Appreciating Walz’s poignant response, Michelle Obama said,” I was touched to discover Gus Walz’s pleasure when his father @Tim_Walz took the stage next day. Proud for showing us all what true love entails, Gus.
