Don Jr. Blast Hypocrite Media Over Walz Family Coverage

Donald Trump Jr. expressed his belief that the media will not cover the fact that several members of Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s family, including his brother, are reportedly supporting his rival, former President Donald Trump.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller on Wednesday, Trump Jr. commented on a photo that circulated earlier showing eight people, allegedly related to Walz, wearing “Walz for Trump” shirts and standing in front of a “Trump 2024, Take America Back” flag.

When asked if he thought the photo would impact the election, Trump Jr. said he believes the media will remain “totally silent” on the matter. He compared the situation to his father’s niece, Mary Trump, who has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump but whom Trump Jr. has seen only once in 25 years.

“It’s interesting how the media is totally silent on that. They made Mary Trump into the biggest Trump family, like ‘knowledgeable person.’ This is someone I literally think I’ve seen her once in 25 years and that was at my aunt’s birthday party at the white House for like 90 minutes, maybe two hours. Somewhere in the middle of my father’s presidency. I hadn’t seen her since I was probably early teens prior to that. But they put her on TV as the most knowledgeable person on the Trump family. We’ve never even seen this person in years. It’s just part of the grift,” Trump Jr. told the Daily Caller.

Mary Trump published a book titled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” in which she describes her uncle as “the World’s Most Dangerous Man” and has continued to criticize him throughout his presidency.

She has accused Trump of using racist slurs, which he has consistently denied. In September 2021, Trump filed a $100 million lawsuit against The New York Times and Mary Trump, alleging that his confidential tax documents were improperly shared and that his niece was pressured into disclosing the information.

Walz has faced criticism for several issues, including signing legislation to provide tampons in boys’ bathrooms, accusations of stolen valor related to claims of combat service, and his history and relationship with China. These were among the concerns Trump Jr. highlighted in his interview with the Caller regarding the VP nominee.

“So I hope the media gives them as much attention as they gave Trump family members that didn’t like my father or were willing to lie about him or whatever it may be. That won’t actually happen. But if by the media’s own rules, we should take everything that they say into great consideration,” he continued. “And frankly, based on the rest of Tim Walz’s policies, based on the way he let his home state burn to the ground, based on the prioritization of putting tampons in boys bathrooms, based on his stolen valor and continued lies about all of this, the guy doesn’t seem like a good guy.”

The former president’s son went after Walz and the coverage he and his campaign have been receiving.

“It doesn’t seem like someone you’d ever want in charge of anything, let alone potentially the presidency of the United States. But again, it’s easy to get away with being a liar and a scumbag if you’re a Democrat and you have the media propaganda machine doing all your boosting for you,” Trump Jr. added.
