Herschel Walker's Son Sells 'All-American' Swag Made in India

Aspiring right-wing influencer Christian Walker is selling plenty of Herschel Walker campaign apparel. Unfortunately for his dad, the sales don’t appear to go to the campaign.

Conservative social media personality Christian Walker—the adult son of football star turned Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker—has objected to being called a grifter.



But at the ripe old age of 22, Christian Walker has found a way to use foreign-made political swag to profit off his father’s Senate campaign.

For months, Christian, an aspiring right-wing influencer and self-described “free-speech radicalist,” has been slinging campaign-themed merch through a dedicated “Herschel ’22” page on his Official Christian Walker website.

The products include T-shirts and hoodies adorned with campaign rallying cries, including “Herschel Walker ’22: All American”—a nod to his father’s legendary football prowess—along with “Touchdown in the Senate — #herschelforsenate” and “I’m running with Herschel.” (T-shirts run $20 and $29.99; hoodies command $49.99.)

Democrats chanting “USA” after they sent our jobs and manufacturing overseas LOLLLLLLLLLL




From the Daily Beast article:

Additionally, The Daily Beast reviewed images showing that at least some of Walker’s political apparel is manufactured overseas, including the “All American” tee (made in India), and a T-shirt that endorses an anti-immigration posture towards Latin America—“I like my walls how I like my women: THICK”—that was made in Nicaragua. A tumbler declaring “I won’t apologize for loving America!” was also apparently made in China.

True to form, during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, Christian Walker—whose various social media accounts have a combined 800,000 followers—mocked Democrats for alleged hypocrisy related to sending American jobs abroad.

“Democrats chanting ‘USA’ after they sent our jobs and manufacturing overseas LOLLLLLLLLLL,” Walker wrote to his 200,000 Twitter followers.
