Coulter was certainly the primary to mock Gus and reportedly shared a photograph of him crying on social media with the caption: “Talk about weird…” She in the end deleted this try to wield the Democrats’ criticism of her “weird” Republican Celebration again throughout the aisle.
Weber was much more egregious in his assault in opposition to Gus, and hasn’t been again on air since.
“Sorry, but this is embarrassing for both father and son,” the WISN-AM radio jockey wrote final week on X. “If the Walzs [sic] represent today’s American man, this country is screwed; ‘Meet my son, Gus. He’s a blubbering bitch boy. His mother and I are very proud.’”

Weber claimed final week that he shared his inflammatory put up “without thinking or having the facts,” suggesting he was unaware that Gus had the dysfunction. Carville acknowledged Wednesday that Weber deleted the put up in remorse, however remained doubtful concerning the apology.
Carville argued the radio jockey’s remorse at breaking “a standard of never involving children” had already been breached in 2015, when Weber mocked the then-underage daughter of former President Barack Obama. The 79-year-old strategist thus didn’t maintain again.
“I’d like for him to answer just a question: Do you have human emotions?” Carville mentioned Wednesday. “I mean, I know you sit there and run your fat fucking mouth all the time on Wisconsin radio. What is it about these teenagers or young people that you want to continually mock?”
Whereas Carville moved on to different matters, social media customers stored at it — and eviscerated Weber.
