Michelle Obama, Anna Navarro and other political figures are slamming Ann Coulter for mocking
00:05
Gus Walls, the 17-year-old son of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walls.
00:12
During night three of the Democratic National Convention, Gus went viral for his emotional
00:17
reaction during his father's speech on stage accepting the nomination for vice president.
00:22
Hope, Gus and Gwen, you are my entire world and I love you.
00:29
When the camera cut to them, tears were flooding down the kids' faces.
00:32
Gus was so moved he stood up and shouted repeatedly,
00:35
that's my dad. The moment quickly went viral as people began learning for the first time
00:40
that the teenager has ADHD, a nonverbal learning disorder and an anxiety disorder.
00:45
However, Ann Coulter took the opportunity to instead mock Gus's emotional reaction
00:50
and tweeted in a now-deleted post, talk about weird.
00:53
Michelle Obama spoke out about the moment writing on social media
00:56
that she was touched to see Gus Walls' joy when his dad took the stage last night
01:01
and added, let's be a nation that embraces this kind of warmth and vulnerability
01:05
instead of making fun or mocking it. We could all use some of Gus's example in our own lives.
01:10
Democratic National Convention host Anna Navarro shared a screenshot of the post with a caption
01:15
writing, you have to be a special kind of heartless mutant to attack a 17-year-old special
01:20
needs kid not involved in politics for the simple act of expressing love for his father.
01:25
She explained that Gus is neurodivergent, pointing out that children who struggle
01:29
with disorders may have trouble regulating their emotions in a social setting.
01:32
I don't and won't attack Barron Trump. As far as I'm concerned, he's out of bounds.
01:37
They need to leave Gus Walls the f*** alone.
