Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claimed recently that his mother is only able to eat every month due to her Social Security check.
“We are all products of our past. When you grow up a middle-class kid in Oakland or in Butte, Nebraska, you care about Social Security,” Walz said, according to Fox News, which reported his mother’s age as 90.
“When my mom looks for that Social Security deposit to be made in her bank account, that’s how she’s going to feed herself. That’s how she’s going to get things done,” he said.
Walz said former President Donald Trump “doesn’t give a damn if his Social Security check comes or not.”
Walz served six terms in Congress and has been Minnesota’s governor since 2019.
Walz has a net worth of over $1 million, according to Forbes.
Forbes said that Walz and his wife have four defined-benefit pensions worth about $1 million.
