Barack Obama praised Walz's signature flannel shirts, saying they "don't come from some political consultant, they come from his closet."
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may not have been present at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday evening, but his fashion sense was certainly felt. On Tuesday, former US President Barack Obama praised Walz's signature flannel shirts, saying they "don't come from some political consultant, they come from his closet." Obama on Tim Walz: Let me tell you something. I love this guy… You can tell those flannel shirts he wears don't come from some political consultant, they come from his closet, and they have been through some stuff. pic.twitter.com/8vYqzNvWNy I love this guy. Watch tonight to hear from @Tim_Walz — a man who knows what leadership looks like — and how to fix his own flannels. https://t.co/exzqjUzplL Tim Walz's kids tear up: "That's my dad!" pic.twitter.com/xfw3C2aI9N
The next day, Walz's wife, Gwen, reacted to Obama's comment by posting a photo of her husband sewing a button on one of his beloved flannel shirts. "It's so true, @BarackObama. Tim loves his flannels," she wrote on X.
Obama reposted the photo, expressing his admiration for Walz. "I love this guy. Watch tonight to hear from @Tim_Walz - a man who knows what leadership looks like - and how to fix his own flannels."
