I am a 61-year old man... and I can't watch him without tears streaming... I have a disabled son also and I KNOW the struggles, insults, and pain personally... so does he! I also know the blessing that he is! and it was great to see that genuine joy from Tim's son, Gus!

My daughter is 20 years old, autistic, and non-verbal. Seeing Gus getting so emotional about his dad had me in tears. Having a child with special needs is a struggle, but they are indeed a blessing. I love this family!

[herbertdrandert]

It was the best reaction I’ve ever seen. I love that kid.

Gus stole my heart. His pure emotion was a beautiful thing to witness. My 33yo son is autistic and Walz sharing his son’s struggles with the world puts our kids in the spotlight. It’s not an easy road so having support makes us all feel seen.

Gus brought me so much joy. Every day I learn more about Gov. Walz that impresses me. His love and affection for his children say it all.

Boy did this make me shed tears just watching the love Gus has for his dad and to know he has a special need with ADHD but was able to have such an amazing response of emotion is so wonderful to see and it makes me love Tim even more. I accept him now as Americas Dad and Coach on this winning team for Democracy...I love you Tim!!!

As a parent of a spectrum kid, this is truly beautiful. THATS TRUE LOVE ❤️

The fact that Hope Walz is a Social Worker is another testament of how wonderful the Walz family is. They truly are a wonderful American family.

I'm still bawling from watching this last night! Gus and Hope sure do earnestly love and respect their magnificent father, a man of true decency! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

My mom is a recent immigrant who knows nothing about U.S. politics. Me, I know a lot about U.S. politics. I was watching with Mom last night and Gus’s reaction brought both of us to tears. The sheer humanity of it all was overwhelming. That moment was not political. It was human and divine.

[westernhemisphere]

When I saw him pointing and saying that's my dad.. My god.. It was so beautiful. We don't see enough of that kind of thing anymore.

[thelmathelmadillard]

Gus, now thats love!!
I truly relate. My Big brother had his special needs. We was the most beautiful man in the world. The Walz have a beautiful family ..❤❤

[if]

Now, that’s the TRUE LOVE! I’m crying!

[tonyahines]

Dammit, seeing Gus loving his dad made me cry again!

[Jennyfeather_]

I tearfully cheer on Gus. What a beautiful soul. We are voting for your wonderful Dad!💙

You can tell that Gus has been nurtured and loved. I didn't know he had a disability until I saw other sites that mentioned people saying unkind things about his reactions without knowing his history. I'm glad I found this site, because that young man's reaction to his father's success is universal to any child who loves their parent and are excited seeing so many other people celebrating them. I love this.
