Herschel, an ex-NFL star is now running for Senate in Georgia as Republican. He’s a long-term friend of President Donald Trump, who has endorsed him. He’s gotten some other big endorsements, including from Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) who was also a professional football player and knows what it’s like to make that transition to politics.
Washington requires more conservatives such as @HerschelWalker! Herschel is the American dream: hard work and strong character. He also loves our country. It is an honor to support Herschel in the Senate election and I look forward to working alongside him.

But Walker had the left spinning after New Year’s Day comments that he made. Walker had some good points about what is lacking in Joe Biden and the Democrats’ approach and problems with Build Back Better, which is focused on social spending.

Instead, he said, what people should be focusing on is the border, funding the police not defunding them — as some Democrats want — and that the focus should be on the Constitution.
A prominent account on the left clipped the video, and then multiple accounts claimed that Walker wasn’t “lucid” in the clip.
Trump’s GA Senate candidate Herschel Walker has a New Year’s Day message about ‘Build Back Better,’ but I have absolutely no idea what the hell he is trying to say. pic.twitter.com/i73SCoaXv1

Senators who can think clearly are essential.@HerschelWalkerIt isn’t.
Stick with the two you’ve got. They’re terrific.

Now, I don’t know about you, but what he’s saying is perfectly clear to me in that particular clip. He’s making a point about Democrats not acting in accordance with the Constitution. That we need to have a “law of the land,” in which “all men are created equal,” which in fact we do (although the Democrats seem to like to ignore it) — it’s called the Constitution and we need to “put people in charge” who are going to fight for the Constitution. It’s not difficult to understand what he stated. Some may ask, “Why are Democrats moving there?”
Some right-leaning people pointed out that the criticisms made by the left were a bit racist.
Remember leftists… if you disagree with Herschel Walker, you’re a racist bigot… your rules.

Walker’s son also weighed in.
A leftist who targets Herschel Wade is only racist and southern-phobic.
These rules were made by the Left. Let’s play.

The left’s rules. However, the left’s standards are not always consistent.
Now, what’s ridiculous about all this is that Joe Biden is constantly incoherent, frequently seeming to not know what is going on, and often having trouble even reading teleprompters. Biden makes up stories that aren’t true and often reflexively lies when he is challenged, such as when he said that he didn’t reject the health experts’ plan for test kits before the holidays when obviously he did. Biden keeps repeating fake stories that were debunked. He used to tell the Amtrak train conductor tale and claim that he was tractor-trailer operator. That’s dangerous, when this is now not just him embellishing his background, but affecting policy.
Left ignores or attempts to justify it. Everything they’re trying to say about Walker is so much more applicable to Joe Biden. You would think that should concern them that Biden has such issues, but it doesn’t because that might affect the Democrats hold on power and that’s the only thing that matters to them. Rep. Lauren Boebert exposed both Biden’s and the left’s incoherence with an amazing troll.
Walker is very popular. They fear that he will do very well in Georgia, so they’re getting a leg up on the attacks. But any time they pull this move, people need to point right back — at Joe Biden.
