Vice-president hopeful Tim Walz’s son appeared at the sight of his father on stage.

The 17-year-old is reported to experience nonverbal learning disorders, ADHD and an anxiety disorder.

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter posted an article on X about Gus Walz's reaction, captioning it: “Talk about weird ” But the backlash against the mean-spirited post was swift.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are both running for the Democratic Party in 2016 .

They are the candidates for the first time in a presidential election since Barack Obama took office in 2012 .

But Walz was left to fully inhabit that emotion, says Doyle , and it was a valuable counter-narrative to challenge that stereotype.
