Ive 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.

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.

(25,352 posts)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.

(58,785 posts)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.

(11,645 posts)He's playing on the uncle remus stereotype in an attempt to appeal to some African Americans and seem harmless to racist whites simultaneously.

(25,352 posts)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.

(3,650 posts)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.

(31,046 posts)He doesnt 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.

(54,436 posts)I saw Herschel Walker with a dictionary in his hand
Walking through the streets of Atlanta in the rain
He was looking how to spell "Washington"
He has some trouble reading, so he looked in vain
AHOOOOOOOOO, Herschel of Georgia
AHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AHOOOOOOOOO, Herschel of Georgia
AHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GRRRRRRRRR
debm55
(25,352 posts)doesn't seem to notice. In that respects, it is almost like a minstrel show to the delight of the racist MAGA's In some respect I feel sorry for him-he is not capable of making a decision let alone be a Senator.

(22,913 posts)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.
