Herschel Walker (R. GA)
Seriously, what the fuck is talking about?
x On the campaign trail today, Herschel talked about a bull in a field with 6 cows. 3 were pregnant. But the bull saw 3 other cows up on the hillside. And he wanted them too. So he tried to jump the fence but his belly got cut up. But the cows were bulls. So be happy what you got. pic.twitter.com/d13JYzhdmk — Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 (@RonFilipkowski) September 8, 2022 On Wednesday, Mr Walker was giving a speech while on the campaign trail when he gave an analogy about a cow and bulls. “It’s about everybody thinking it’s better somewhere else,” he said. “And I remember talking about this bull that was out in the field and he said six cows with him. Three of them were expecting calves.” “Not worried about what he got now, the grass is as tall as his knees, all he had to do is eat grass,” he said. “He measured that fence up, and he said ‘you know what? I think I can jump this fence and get over there to those other cows.’” Mr Walker added that the bull then jumped over the fence and cut his belly, but he was excited -- only to learn the cows were also bulls. “And the reason I tell you that, don’t think something is better somewhere else,” he said. “This is a good place, and the way we make it better is by coming together.”
I’m not even going to attempt to make sense of any of this so feel free to explain what you think he was trying to say. But at this to a long list of incoherent and dumb shit Walker has said on the campaign trail. Like this:
x Herschel outlines his education plan: “Our kids are behind, because they want them to be woke. They want to be woke. What about teaching them how to write? How to read? How to spell? But right now, we’ve elected people who want to profit off the misery they give to us.” pic.twitter.com/mjmBEA0e7k — Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 (@RonFilipkowski) September 8, 2022
It’s no wonder that Walker is afraid to debate Warnock:
x YouTube Video U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock said he’ll debate Herschel Walker at the Republican’s preferred event in Savannah in October — if his GOP challenger accepts a second showdown next month and agrees that the candidates won’t be provided the topics of the questions in advance. x Tell you what Herschel Walker, how about this:
I’ll agree to your debate if you also agree to either of the debates in Atlanta or Macon. You can pick which one. No topics provided ahead of time.
I’m ready. Are you? — Reverend Raphael Warnock (@ReverendWarnock) September 7, 2022 The Democratic incumbent leveled the latest challenge in the ongoing saga on Wednesday after months of back-and-forth between the two rivals that has raised doubts about whether they’ll ever meet each other on the debate stage. “It’s time for Herschel Walker to stop playing games,” said Quentin Fulks, Warnock’s campaign manager. “The job of a U.S. senator isn’t one where you know the topics ahead of time or get a cheat sheet, and Herschel Walker shouldn’t need one to find the courage to walk on a debate stage.” The Democrat’s campaign also released a TV ad that will air this week that dares Walker, a former football star, to “show us if you’re really ready to represent Georgia.” At an event in Emerson on Wednesday, Walker ducked questions about Warnock’s conditions, saying only that “I’m gonna debate, so I’m ready for him.” On social media, Walker said he wanted to “lock down” the Savannah debate on Oct. 14 without the topics ahead of time but didn’t immediately agree to another faceoff.
He also released a new ad claiming that systematic racism isn’t real:
Earlier this week, he released A new ad released a new ad that accuses Democrats - specifically his opponent, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) - of using “race to divide us.” “Democrats use race to divide us,” the ad says before showing high-ranking democrats like President Joe Biden, vice president Kamala Harris and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Here's the ad in question. x YouTube Video The ad shows comments from Abrams, Harris and Biden, who could be seen saying “You ain’t Black.” The clip then focuses its attention on Warnock, who says “America has a preexisting condition. It’s called racism.”
Little more context here:
Then, Walker tells viewers, "Senator Warnock believes America is a bad country, full of racist people. I believe we're a great country, full of generous people." The ad follows comments Walker has repeatedly made on the campaign trail dismissing claims about systemic racism and bigotry. The new spot claims that while Walker is running on unity, Warnock is running on separation, something Walker told the New York Times about Warnock earlier this year. Warnock is a long-time civil rights activist and leader, something that helped boost his victory in 2020. According to an analysis of recent polls, he's up an average of two percentage points over Walker.
But Warnock just launched his own ad hitting Walker on abortion:
Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., launched a new TV ad Thursday targeting his GOP opponent, former football player Herschel Walker, on his abortion position. The ad is the latest abortion-focused spot from a Democratic candidate as the party looks to leverage the furor over the Supreme Court's decision to eliminate the Constitutional right to an abortion in the midterm elections. "There’s one issue where Hershel Walker actually has made his position clear," a narrator says in the 30-second ad. The ad then cuts to footage of Walker being asked if he supports any exceptions to abortion bans, and Walker replies, "Not right now I don't." The ad also shows footage of Walker saying, "There’s not a national ban on abortion right now, and I think that’s a problem."
The ad hasn’t been posted on Twitter yet but you can watch it here on AdImpact.
Right now, there appears to be split ticket voting in Georgia between Senator Warnock and Governor Brian Kemp (R. GA) in his rematch against Stacey Abrams (D. GA):
