    Edit: Seems I completely misread the title myself. See reply below

    What’s interesting is that the headline says that but then it’s refuted further down.

    But family members closest to Walz, including his sister Sandy Dietrich, want people to know that while the people in the photo may be family, they’re merely distant cousins.

    “We weren’t close with them. We didn’t know them,” Dietrich told The Associated Press.

    And

    Herbster’s spokesperson Rod Edwards told Forbes a friend of the Walz family provided Herbster’s team with the photo. He also clarified to the AP that the family in the picture are the descendants of Francis Walz, who was the brother of Tim Walz’s grandfather.

      I think you might want to reread that title. What you quoted isn’t refuting the title, what you quoted is what’s described in the title.
