As expected, the highly contested Georgia Senate race featuring Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) and Trump-backed Republican nominee Herschel Walker has tightened in recent weeks, which has prompted a wave of predictable attacks from The Usual Suspects on Walker’s intellect and moral standing three months out from the crucial November midterms.
Most notably, the most disgusting was that of MSNBC’s frequent MSNBC correspondents on Saturday. race-baiterContributor Elie Mystal who, if I understand correctly, routinely shows that he’s a few fries short of Happy Meal.
During a segment with host Tiffany Cross, Mystal was asked how the race could be so close considering all of Walker’s alleged moral failings. Mystal called Walker, true to form, Uncle Tom. This is a common term used by Democrats over the years to refer to black Republicans.
“But it is going to be a close election in Georgia because Walker has the backing of the Republicans. Now you ask why are Republicans backing this man who is so clearly unintelligent, who so clearly doesn’t have independent thoughts?
But that’s actually the reason. Walker is gonna do what he’s told, and that’s what Republicans like. That’s what Republicans want from their negroes – to do what they’re told.
Walker is the exact opposite. He presents himself as someone with no independence, who doesn’t have an independent agenda or can grasp policy concepts. And he is just going to go in there and vote like Mitch McConnell tells him to vote.”
Watch:
“Herschel Walk will do the things he’s told. That’s what Republicans want for their negroes.”

Walker issued his response to Mystal’s attack on Monday by smartly tying it to Warnock’s well-publicized thoughts about how awful this country supposedly is.
“A lot of people are asking me to say something about the man on MSNBC that called me the N-word. Here’s what I got to say about that. Shame on MSNBC, and shame on him,” Walker stated in a video clip posted to Twitter.
“I’m gonna pray for both of them because they need Jesus,” he noted. “When I saw what he said, it reminded me of the differences between myself and my opponent, Senator Warnock and the left-wing crazy that believe America is fundamentally a bad country full of racist people. They seek to divide and oppose us.
“We have our problems, but we can solve them together. This country is full of great people. With God’s help, we’re gonna bring the people of Georgia back together,” he went on to say.
Watch:
This is what I said @MSNBCAnd the man who called my name the N-word. @ReverendWarnockLeft-wingers believe America is racist and fundamentally unjust. However, you know and me that America is great with many good people. #gasen pic.twitter.com/JCDsQr19Jh

I find this the best kind of response. Instead of swinging at Mystal, Warnock brought it right back to Warnock, who unlike Mystal is the man he’s trying to defeat in November. Walker also referenced God and country, two things that most Georgians (at least those who haven’t fallen victim to Warnock’s woke dogma) hold near and dear to their hearts.
Concerning the polling between them, many on the Republican party were concerned to see Walker fall in polling once he was elected the nominee. He had polled ahead of the election in months prior. RedState’s founder, Erick Erickson in Georgia, explained why polling works for Republican candidates.

Not only that, but in Walker’s case, and as I noted above the attacks on him have noticeably increased since he won in a GOP primary that saw a considerably higher turnout than they’d seen in previous midterm elections.
But as we’ve also previously pointed out, Democrats better be careful in what they throw at Walker, because in pulling the purported skeletons out of Walker’s closet, the ones on Warnock will resurface as well and this time around, if the buyer’s remorse is strong enough the outcome at the ballot box for him might just be a lot different than it was in January 2020.
Not only that, but look for Walker or any number of the conservative-leaning PACs that support him to use Mystal’s attack in an upcoming ad against Warnock, because as recent polls show us, the tide is turning on the identity-politics obsessed left in ways that are detrimental to their political health, and that includes support dropping from both the black and Hispanic communities alike.
One would never have thought that being taken for granted would result in such a large exodus. As it turns out, everyone did – except for Democrats like Mystal for who straying from the Democrat plantation is the equivalent to being a traitor to your race.
