Users online slammed critics for mocking Tim Walz’s teenage son for crying during his dad’s DNC convention speech on Wednesday night.

Gus Walz could be seen last night with tears streaming down his face as his father gave his DNC speech to a packed crowd of thousands in Chicago. The 17-year-old proudly proclaimed, “That’s my dad!” — an emotional moment that went viral on social media.

After the speech had concluded, Gus greeted his father on stage with a tight bear hug and buried his face in his dad’s shoulder.

However, some critics took the opportunity to mock Walz for his emotional reaction including conservative firebrand Ann Coulter, who wrote in a now deleted post on X, “Talk about weird.” Meanwhile, Trump delegate Mike Crispi wrote, “Tim Walz stupid crying son isn’t the flex the left thinks it is. You raised your kid to be a puffy beta male. Congrats.”

Users from across the political aisle went on the attack against the critics for mocking an emotional teenager.

“What kind of monster are u to attack a 17 year-old, special needs kid for expressing love for his dad,” wrote Ana Navarro. “Gus Walz is neurodivergent, has ADHD, anxiety, and a nonverbal learning disorder. Teens like Gus can have trouble regulating their emotions in social settings. Leave him the fuck alone, you ghouls.”

Notable conservative personalities including Ben Shapiro praised the younger Walz for his reaction to his father’s speech, writing, “This is really quite nice.”
