Maybe it's the meaning of Yom Kippur overwhelming me now, but I can't hate him.
I'm amazed he has not stopped his campaign, considering his history of being an absentee father while lecturing other Black men, his double standards (abortion, women's rights...)
And being Trump's pick is no surprise, Trump bought the NJ Generals shortly after Walker signed with them and has used him as needed.
He claimed severe mental illness years ago, I see no evidence of that being resolved. I hope he wasn't lying for convenience...
That said, he needs to get help, and definitely is not fit for the Senate.
Yessah mastah! Know yer role and I'ma shuttin mah hole. Got it. Loud and clear.
Hershel Walker has been open and honest about his entire life. Been in interviews and even wrote a book. Yes, he's been friends with Donald Trump. Before (way before!) and after he was a President. I LOVE how Lefty says "That's his private life and that's his private business" when they defend their own of criminal and heinous behavior...yet when it's someone from across the aisle they rip that down faster than the BLM posters they put up. Everyone can see what this race means for what it is. If California and NY want a 3rd senate seat at least come out and say it.
There's loads of people in the House and Senate that aren't fit to hold office but I don't see them getting their snouts out of the trough. The Free Press defends the bad actors and the politically opposed.
