    Is that real? That legitimately sounds like an Onion article itself.

      Walz had implied in his Facebook posts that he had stories suggesting that his younger brother isn’t “the type of character you want making decisions about your future.” But in the segment Wednesday, he admitted to NewsNation that he didn’t have any political bombshells ― just some stomach-turning anecdotes.

      “Nobody wanted to sit with him, because he had car sickness and would always throw up on us, that sort of thing,” Walz said. “There’s really nothing else hidden behind there. People are assuming something else. There’s other stories like that, but I think that probably gives you the gist of it.”

        What a weird thing to talk about out loud. That feels like a joke you’d make at Thanksgiving, not publicly in the middle of a vice presidential campaign.

      It’s real. Surprised that didn’t make it to nottheonion right away. Maybe I missed it.
