I’ve pretty much watched every Herschel stump appearance for a year. While this gibberish is nothing new, him speaking a mile a minute like this I have not heard before. Curious.

"I don't know if you know, vampires are cool people, are they not?" -- Herschel Walker's speeches are somehow even less coherent than his TV appearances. Like, what is this.

Democratic candidate. Even blood sucking.

As I said in another post, pretty good trick to have a black man depict another black man as the racists' epitome of the Giant Black Threat AND a Christian minister as one of the demonic child-trafficking Democratic elites.

Classic tactic, come a long way from the Willie Horton ad. But racist fear is always the message.

reminds me of what some Southern whites think of Walker, In a way I feel sorry for him-he is being used by the Repug.Establishment
laughed at by racist whites and doesn't seem to realize it. Don't get me wrong, I am behind Warnock. But what they are doing to Walker, in a way is sad.He is mentallly incapable of doing the job.And it seems like the people are laughing at him not with him.

Let's face it, Deb, becoming a U.S. senator, being by far the most powerful and important person almost everywhere you go, surrounded by people eager to be used, is the gold-ring gig of a lifetime. He knows that.

I'm sure he didn't compose that little "masterpiece" of racist slime he's performing -- that's a very professional piece; but he knows exactly what it's about and he's doing a profefssional job of putting it over.

We're from Georgia. This is a guy who both obtains abortions AND promises to help make abortion to save the life of a mother illegal -- to get elected. His past was full of slimy behaviors to promote himself and make money long before tRump or anyone else invited him to run for office. And of course he became a Republican all on his own and helped elect tRump.

These are all HIS decisions. I feel sorry for US. WE need protection from him and them.

Btw, he's started and owned/owns various businesses over the decades. And, he's just gone after the RNC for not giving him a bigger cut of the donations they raised by invoking his senate race. Sure. Recurring business issue for someone with years of experience negotiating his rate for celebrity spokesman gigs.

He's playing on the uncle remus stereotype in an attempt to appeal to some African Americans and seem harmless to racist whites simultaneously.

talking fast and using slang, I guess that's what the people in Georgia want. A self loathing black man playing up to the white man and the white racist crowd loving it.

"I’m gonna tell you to keep the faith. I was here watching a stupid movie late at night, hoping it get better, but it don’t get better, but you keep watching it anyway. Cause the other night—the other night, I was watching this movie, I was watching this movie called Fright Night, Freak Night, Some Type of Night. But it was about vampires. I didn’t know if you knew vampires are cool people, are they not? But I’m gonna tell you something I found out. A werewolf could kill a vampire. Did you know that? I didn’t know that. So I don’t want to be a vampire anymore. I want to be a werewolf. But then, anyway. As I was watching this movie, and let me tell you how stupid it is, cause it’s one in the morning. So I’m watching my TV, of these kids watching their TV of a vampire killed on their TV. Now you know that’s kind of stupid but I’m still watching though. As I’m watching this show, what was funny these kids had a vampire in their attic, at their house. So they were watching their TV, now I’m watching my TV and they watching their TV, and they see the vampire killed on that TV. So they win this contest to bring this actor--now you all have to stay with me--bring this actor who’s a vampire killer from that TV to get rid of this real life vampire in that attic. So this actor comes to their home. He got all the right stuff. He got all the right stuff, cause you gotta have the stake, you gotta have the thing that kill them in the heart. And he got a necklace of garlic, cause that work. I don’t know what it does, but it work. You gotta have a cross, cause it burn. I know that work. And then all of a sudden—this was what was so funny about it—as they’re walking through the house, this—the—this guy got the holy water. He blessing the house. This actor, now he’s all fake. He’s blessing the house with his holy water. They walk upstairs and this vampire, looking real good in this black suit. Whoa, that sounds like Senator Warnock, doesn’t it? Looking all good in this black suit, floated from the ceiling. He floated from the ceiling looking good and cool. And I’m thinking, whoa, they better get out of that house. If somebody pull from your ceiling, get out of that house, that’s not your house. But as he floated from the ceiling, the kid jumped behind their hero. As they’re jumping behind their hero, the guy jumping in front of them with his holy water threw it on the vampire’s forehead. He covered his eyes, and he took his hand away. He started laughing. And he said, 'That don’t work.' He took that cross and he put in on the vampire’s forehead. And the vampire, he didn’t even do anything. He said, 'That don’t work.' But that’s the way it is in our life. It doesn’t work unless you got faith. Any time us has faith. We gotta have faith in our fellow brother. You gotta have faith in this country. You have faith in this—in elected officials. And right now that’s the reason I’m here."

at Thanksgiving dinner, the family would huddle outside and agree to chip in and secure a room for him at Sunnybrook Acres. In Trump's America it gets you a Republican nomination and a legitimate shot at a Senate seat. Jesus.

He doesn’t seem to have much mental discipline at all. I guess he thinks that relating a horror movie plot is kind of like Jesus telling a parable.

He has some trouble reading, so he looked in vain

Seriously, just footage of Walker like this without a voice over or intro or attempt to put it into any context, followed by the simple statement "I approve of this ad" by Warnock. Nothing else. Let it sink in.
