WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump Jr tried to propagate a bizarre and distasteful rumor about Tim Walz, which only served to reinforce the reason the Minnesota governor originally labeled the GOP as "weird."

The incident began when Trump's eldest son shared a spoof version of the 'Got Milk' advertisements. The post featured a photo of Walz sporting a milk mustache, with a horse in the background.

In his post, Trump Jr mentioned "stolen valor," a term used in another GOP critique of Walz's military record, which alleges that he left his soldiers before a deployment to Iraq. Walz retired from the military to pursue a congressional career.

Trump Jr posted, "Listen, stolen valor is about as bad as it gets But what is this I’m hearing about a horse?!"



 

Trump loyalists Laura Loomer and Joey Mannarino have been sharing the debunked story about horse semen to their followers.
