Has no one told Georgia Republican Senate nominee and former NFL player, Herschel Walker, the first rule of MAGA club? That you never openly criticize Donald Trump?
Walker last week won his GOP Primary in Georgia, enjoying an endorsement from the former President. Walker will run to unseat the Democratic incumbent, Sen. Raphael Warnock.
Trump even placed a phone call to Walker’s post-election victory party, which was broadcast to those in attendance, congratulating Walker on his win.
However, just a few days later, Walker is saying he’s “mad” at Trump.
Why? Because he says Trump is taking credit for persuading him to embark on his Senate run.

In an interview with rapper Killer Mike on Revolt TV, Walker said, “One thing that people don’t know is President Trump never asked me.
“I need to tell him that he never asked. I heard it all on television that ‘he’s going to ask Herschel,’ saying Herschel is going to run. President Trump never came out and said ‘Herschel, will you run for that Senate seat?’”
“So, I’m mad at him, because he never asked, but he’s taking credit that he asked,” Walker said.
Watch below.
Walker went on to say that he decided to run after praying and asking God for advice. He said he hoped God would send someone else to it, as he was already happy with his life, but the message he received was that he needed to run.
It seems Donald Trump has not said a whole lot to Walker. Period. Just before his primary, Walker dismissed a reporter asking him if he agreed with Donald Trump over the 2020 election being stolen.
“I think you, I think reporters said that,” Walker retorted. “I don’t know whether President Trump ever said that because he never said that to me.”

Walker’s awakening to Trump’s “alternative facts” prompted much derision online.
So, Herschel, if Trump’s lying about this, do you think it’s possible he’s lying about other things, too? Think about it. Take your time. It’ll come to you.

So we are to believe that this guy woke up one morning and said “I want to get into politics. I’m going to run for US Senate in a State I don’t even live in.” 🤷♂️🤣

In all fairness Donald thought he was calling Kanye.

Herschel Walker apparently said “well I looked into things he said and social media wearing socks that don’t match mean that makeup in a distracted fashion can make words seem like they are different to the context in which food is served, or maybe not, depending on the weather

Is he suggesting that Donald Trump is taking credit for something he didn’t do

Those concussed voices in you head are not the Lord Jesus my friend. It’s #78, #79, #68, #72, etc.

Huh… Then again, when it comes to Walker I am not 100% sure he’s grounded in reality enough to know whether Trump asked or not…

Mister P
Two morons with big egos can’t get along. Gee, I’m shocked.

So Herschel is apparently not paying attention. That’s Trump’s thing, he waits until something happens or goes well, then jumps in and claims it was his idea.
LOL!! I love that the guy doesn’t get that! This should be fun.

i’m starting to understand his reasons for not debating his opponents in the primary.

“He said he hoped God would send someone else to it, as he was already happy with his life, but the message he received was that he needed to run.”
God sent someone else: his name is Reverend Raphael Warnock. Go back to your wealthy but troubled life, Herschel Walker, and spare the people of Georgia your MAGA-infused nonsense!

The more this guy speaks, the less I’m worried about the midterms, and the more galvanized I am to vote Democrat.

The more this guy speaks, the more confident I get that Warnock can beat him… but I’m still worried! I sent a few bucks to Warnock.
I’m also confident that in the next few months J.D. Vance in Ohio will say many idiotic things (and Tim Ryan won’t) and in PA, Dr. Oz or McCormick will say many idiotic things (and John Fetterman won’t), but I’m still worried!

Tr*mp worked hard (no one worked harder) to defeat the incumbent Republican Secretary of State and Governor in Georgia in the primaries (Tr*mp failed and both won their primaries). Under the circumstances, I suppose it is in Walker’s interest to “disagree” with the tangerine Palpatine on some stuff – Tr*mp isn’t as popular among Georgia Republicans as he himself and others would like to think.
If Sen. Warnock could defeat the incumbent Loeffler last time, he seems like he would be the favorite against no-brains Walker (I can’t see Walker out “God-fearing” the Reverend Warnock, for example). Let’s hope things go as they should.

Might be true. Walker is famous but obviously dumb as a doorknob and can’t keep a story straight. He is probably mixing up his lines rehearsed before the interview.

And being dumb is a reason even dumber folks may vote for him

Maybe Trump never told him directly that the election was stolen from him, but Trump DID tell everyone else (multiple times), so Walker probably was not paying attention to what was going on in the country.
My paternal grandmother was a Walker before she married my grandfather, and I find it a bit embarrassing that he has the same name as she had, and I have some Walker blood.
