Herschel Walker’s “Rambling Incoherence” & “Bizarre” Comments “Raise Eyebrows,” Show He Is Unfit To Represent Georgia

MSNBC: “Walker has run into all kinds of problems, but his difficulties with substance have been especially difficult to explain away.”

News coverage is highlighting how Herschel Walker “gave another nonsensical speech” yesterday in which he “delivered a bizarre diatribe about vampires and werewolves.”

It’s the latest gaffe for Walker, who has also made headlines this week for “prais[ing] ‘gas-guzzling cars that release ‘good emissions,’” and for being “unaware that there will be any early voting ahead of the runoff” – showing Georgia voters time after time that he is unfit to represent them in the Senate.
