Overview
- Hope Walz posted a Saturday TikTok condemning President Trump’s use of a derogatory slur for Gov. Tim Walz and said it unleashed a “sh*tstorm” of abuse.
- She said harassment has targeted her younger brother, who has a non‑verbal learning disability, calling that escalation especially upsetting.
- Hope Walz reported receiving “absolutely horrendous” direct messages and said someone drove by her family’s home and shouted the slur.
- Breitbart and the New York Post reported the TikTok video was later deleted, citing the Daily Mail.
- Trump previously called Walz “seriously retarded” and has stood by the remark while tying his criticism to concerns about Somali migrants and a New York Times report on alleged $1 billion fraud in Minnesota.
