To everyone clowning on this kid for crying, it's because you've never had a father who made you this proud.

[Cannabidragon]

Knowing that his son has a non-verbal speech disorder made this so much more powerful to me!!!! Seeing him say "I love you Dad" and "That's my Dad!" Ugh my heart!!!!❤❤❤ #USA

How did A-Holes criticize Gus? A Great Kid, with an emotiomal reaction to hearing his dad talk about the struggle to have him and his sisters in front of of millions. He Cheered "That's my Dad!". Loyalty, love and deep gratitude should never be talked down about. Especially by scumbags who have none of the above.

[Mrs.Roseonlinetutor]

Wow y’all are really soulless attacking this sweet kid just being a proud son! Y’all are deprived! *Gus deserves better!* We all deserve better and will have better!

[Marilynn-minoux]

What a sweet boy. He loves his dad so much ❤

[Ronaee]

I can’t believe people think this is weird, can you imagine the pain this family went through? And to see your dad fighting for the rights of women and children like you? Who wouldn’t get emotional

[karlabritfeld]

I went through 6 years of medical intervention because of infertility. It was agony.

[Johnnyapplseed]

I’m not exactly a democrat but this guy seems like a real person that the people can relate to, nice to see for once

[ConnMtenor]

Wow. An American politician who talks about someone other than himself.

[youiswhoyouis]

Gotta love that a select group of people are making fun of the Walz and Emhoff kids for loving their parents 😂😂😂... meanwhile, they are fans of Mister "I'd be dating her if she wasn't my daughter" . Oh boy.

[ThePathOfEudaimonia]

Finally some authenticity, love and healthy masculinity in American politics. I'm from western Europe, but I love Tim Walz!

[pamalawashington]

I can't stop coming back to this beautiful, heartfelt moment. Gus made me cry over and over, and I love it. The love they share is palpable.❤❤

[margueritebridges]

This was so incredible. He really said, "Everything is going to change now, I'm going to be responsible for so much more now, but you guys will always be the center of my universe" 🥺

[PrincePaulIowa]

Love them❤ what a beautiful, a better, joyful world they bring!

[Suprachiasmatic]

This man and his family are a breath of fresh air.

[bdj]

Best moment. His son loves him and is proud!

Proverbs 23:24

THE FATHER OF A RIGHTEOUS CHILD HAS GREAT JOY; A MAN WHO FATHERS A WISE SON REJOICES IN HIM.

[biggles]

So wonderful to see a genuine loving family.

Imagine being paid and trained as a fireman for 25 years but never having performed any service. Then on 911 in the face of danger, you decide not to be a fireman that you have been trained and paid to be there in a time of need. Even though the men below you have trained with you and depend on you, you decide to run.
That is Tim AWOLS
