Jeff Walz Clarified His Comments

After his comments under a Facebook post gained national attention, Walz claimed that he felt it was essential to clarify that he did not mean any harm by his comments. CNN reported Jeff’s clarification saying that his comments were just to separate his stance from his brother’s as people tended to align the two. Jeff further stated that his acquaintances made him realize that it was generally perceived that the two brothers felt the same way on certain political agendas so his comments were directed at them to clarify and separate the two.

He also clarified that the “stories” he was talking about were nothing too bad and were just fun banter. An example of his story pertained to Tim always throwing up on car rides therefore none of his siblings wanted to sit with him.

Tim and Jeff Walz’s Relationship

In an interview, Jeff Walz expressed his sorrow at the distance between him and his brother and said that it was “too bad” how they gradually grew apart. Jeff added that he hoped that the two could still stay civil despite not agreeing on political ideologies.

It is reported that the brothers last talked in 2016 at their brother’s funeral and have gone 8 years with no contact except an occasion. The two had a brief talk when Tim called their mother on her birthday and she passed the phone to her older son. Jeff explained that the brief conversation was regarding some documents such as tax information that he refused to give.
