It looks ordinary and fine to those of us that aren't looking for something to smear Walz with.
Hmmm, okay. I don't think that is clear but I can certainly see it makes many on this thread quite defensive and uncomfortable and some feeling a strong need to engage in noticeable lashing out toward those who dare to even discuss a few moments of what we can all watch in that video. If everything in the video looked so ordinary and fine, it would be a simple and easy discussion and not one needing excuses, justifications or any attacks on those who dare to watch or mention it.
It happened and each will feel as they do about what they saw. How vicious and nasty to view the event and even worse to comment on the odd moment and temporary abrupt change in the physical aspect of the family interaction.
Nasty , mean spirited, conspiracy loving folk only see what they want to see...what they are told to see
Well, when I saw the video last night, my initial guess was it might be a doctored video and fake news. I thought that because it's quite inconsistent with the family interactions just before and after that moment. Since then, I've learned it wasn't doctored and today there are a lot of people who are very strongly feeling the need to justify what the video shows. Do you think all those justifications might be because it could and likely will be viewed by some as a somewhat confusing or even a slightly troubling sight?What a totally reasonable, morally serious, and good faith comment to make, gbg3.
I did see it on PredictIt last night. It was the topic of a number of comments and people were posting the video/discussions/and comments from various posters on X. I'm not a registered user on X and I didn't try to see if I could simply copy an X post/video and paste it here. Last night, I guessed it might be a doctored video - because as I have mentioned, that moment seemed "out of place" with what was going on just before and just after.So did you actually see this video or are you just repeating something someone said, claimed? If you saw it, then why not present it? If not, why even mention this "rumor" especially from some random betting site. I mean you didn't even provide a link to an article or anything.
Pretty sure that MAGA is consistently telling us all about how if it isn't on camera, how can we believe the many things multiple people tell us about what Trump does, how he behaves.
Your premise is that, live in front of tens of thousands, and on telly in front of millions, Walz visibly physically abused his special needs son?I did see it on PredictIt last night.

I completely agree that those two kids appear to dearly love their father. I also did not see fear.I did not see that, and those kids show nothing but love to their father. I certainly didn't see any fear.
Sounds a lot like "many people are saying' bullshit.
This is by far the best burn ever delivered on this forum.I'm black. Answer your own question.
I watched his emotional tears when his father was speaking and I had no idea he is autistic or had any disability of any kind. I thought he was just completely overcome with the emotion of pride in seeing his father on a stage speaking in front of many thousands of people.She didn't realize he was autistic.
After 9 years of democrats savaging Barron - this whining seems just a tad hypocritical.
Good. I read an interview with a few of his classmates last year. He's apparently nothing like his father. He has a good sense of humour and never discusses politics.
He doesn't need to be on the "everything Donald touches turns to shit" list.
And btw GOP good job vetting this.
I saw it too now. It was quite clear that Tim was yanking his son back towards him or out of the way of the teleprompter or light or whatever that thing was that he was about to walk into or trip over. He wasn't being abusive or acting out of anger. He was doing something to protect his son from being injured, especially if he fell over that thing.I did see it on PredictIt last night.

You just have to watch the video to see he was keeping his son from running into or tripping over a teleprompter or other piece of stage equipment.Well, when I saw the video last night, my initial guess was it might be a doctored video and fake news.

This video makes me somewhat uncomfortable every time I watch it. It's a pretty strong and abrupt tug and I can't say I feel any better about the look on his Tim's face when he tugs. I know nothing about Gus or his limitations, but it didn't seem like that would have been necessary. Gus seemed to be moving along just fine with the rest of his family.I Knowwwww, huh! Kids shouldn't be treated like that. I agree. They should have their arm pulled out of its socket by their angry dad!!!!
Guess I have to ask again. Is it your premise that Walz abused his son live on television?This video makes me somewhat uncomfortable every time I watch it. It's a pretty strong and abrupt tug and I can't say I feel any better about the look on his Tim's face when he tugs. I know nothing about Gus or his limitations, but it didn't seem like that would have been necessary. Gus seemed to be moving along just fine with the rest of his family.
You can see Hope walk on the other side of the teleprompter, equipment after Tim moves Gus towards him. There is no anger. Maybe a little frustration with how close or possibly even missing it until it was almost last minute. And it also got Gus to release Hope's hand, since they were both not going to fit there, hence why Hope walked around the other side.This video makes me somewhat uncomfortable every time I watch it.

He did it angrily. Tim Walz is a frigging loon.I saw it too now.

This is what I am saying, and I am really, really tired of these Orwellians here who tell us not to believe what we see, exactly as Orwell predicted would happen. I would never ever diss a child with autism. My brother had a daughter that was who died young. But the way Tim Walz treated him with disdain and disgust is chilling and telling of the person he really is.This video makes me somewhat uncomfortable every time I watch it.

FFS It's all cognitive dissonance.... you see wat you want to see....This video makes me somewhat uncomfortable every time I watch it.

Nahh, too easy.He did it angrily. Tim Walz is a frigging loon.
And this folks, really is all the democrats have.
I did not say that.Walz visibly physically abused his special needs son
Kennedy on board. As Elmer Fudd would say!They actually have way WAY more than this.
I watched it yet again when I read your post, several times. Honestly, I just don't like that video. It simply makes me uncomfortable.You just have to watch the video to see he was keeping his son from running into or tripping over a teleprompter or other piece of stage equipment.
The video was actually already posted on here earlier.
You can see Tim yank Gus closer to him right before he was about to walk into or very close to the teleprompter/equipment, which his sister walks around the other side of. There's no anger there in Tim. It was clearly a gesture to just move him from an even slight danger.
