Midterm Watch 2022: Obama Attacks Herschel Walker – Walker Responds With THIS

Former President Barack Obama went to Georgia to assist U.S. Senate candidate Raphael Warnock, and Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. During the rally, Obama made sure to take his jabs at Herschel Walker. While Obama called Walker “a heck of a football player,” Obama also made sure to put him down within the same sentence, adding “does that make him the best person to represent you?… let’s say you’re at the airport & you see Walker & you say, Hey, there’s Herschel, Heisman winner. Let’s have him fly the plane!”

Herschel Walker’s and Raphael Warnock’s ability to fly an airplane is still up for debate, however, only one candidate has had to call up a former President to host a rally in an effort to beat a political newcomer – Raphael Warnock. Throughout the Midterm election campaigns for Walker and Warnock, Democrats and the media have had to come up with every tactic imaginable in an attempt to slow down Walker’s momentum. Throughout the campaigning process, Democrats have allowed multiple claims with little to no substance to be circulated about Walker in an attempt to hurt his reputation, attempted to spin a documented honorary police badge into Walker playing dress-up cop, along with trying to make him out to be inarticulate and lack intelligence (something that would be considered racist if a Republican said that about Warnock.) While most people wouldn’t get on an airplane flown by Herschel Walker, many would book their ticket now if the other option was sending their kids to Raphael Warnock’s summer camp.

Herschel Walker caught wind of Obama’s Hail Mary effort to get Raphael Warnock across the finish line, and responded by saying, “Where has he been? He’s been in his nice house [while nobody can afford gas or groceries].”

Herschel Walker called out Obama for not only being pompous and beyond rich, but one area of criticism Barack and Michelle Obama have received is due to their purchasing a nearly $12 million house in Martha’s Vineyard. The 29-acre property is, of course, waterfront.

Having a home in an 85%+ White community, and having a $12 million house on a waterfront property isn’t exactly a good look for an administration that consistently talked about racism, climate change, and income inequality.

Throughout the rise of former President Barack Obama, his campaign and messaging are a large reason why politics has been so racially polarizing since roughly 2010. Racialized politics have divided Americans heavily since Obama’s Presidency, and evidence for this can be seen in the New York Times. According to NYT Labs, which gives you the ability to track frequently used words in the New York Times articles (http://chronicle.nytlabs.com/?keyword=racism) the New York Times’ use of “racism” was used throughout the 2010s at a rate that was over double the 1960s, which was the decade of the civil rights movement.
