Ana Navarro and other celebrities have blasted conservative media pundit Ann Coulter after she made a social media post mocking Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s 17-year-old son Gus Walz.

In a now-deleted tweet, Coulter shared a photo of Gus crying at Night 3 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Wednesday night (August 21). “Talk about weird…” Coulter captioned the post.

Coulter faced immediate backlash for her post, while fans came to the defense of Gus. For those unaware, the 17-year-old Gus has a non-verbal learning disorder, ADHD, and anxiety disorder. He was seen crying with happiness at the DNC on Wednesday night while his father formally accepted the vice presidential nomination.

“What kind of monster are u to attack a 17 year-old, special needs kid for expressing love for his dad?” Navarro tweeted on Thursday (August 22). “Gus Walz is neurodivergent, has ADHD, anxiety, and a nonverbal learning disorder. Teens like Gus can have trouble regulating their emotions in social settings.”

The View co-host, who hosted Night 2 of the DNC, added, “Leave him the f*** alone, you ghouls.”

Navarro continued to blast Coulter’s post on Instagram, writing, “Jesus. What a**-wipes. Of course Republicans and Trumpers on social media taking shots at Gus Walz. You have to be a special kind of heart-less mutant to attack a 17 year-old special needs kid -not involved in politics- for the simple act of expressing love for his father.”

“I don’t and won’t attack [Donald Trump’s son] Barron Trump. As far as I’m concerned, he’s out-of-bounds. They need to leave Gus Walz the f*** alone,” she added.
