SAN DIEGO — Since I have been dumbfounded by the shift in the Georgia Senate race polls from Raphael Warnock to Herschel Walker, I decided to interview some Georgians who support Walker to find out what they like about him.
Georgia Football Fan: He’s a great football player. If there’s an Antifa invasion of the Capitol like the one on 1/6, he’ll tackle the rioters and then run away quickly. I would never penalize someone like Herschel for roughing the trespasser. For me MAGA means Make Athletes Govern America.
Georgia Feminist: Now that the Supreme Court has declared Roe vs. Wade unconstitutional, we need men like Herschel who recognize they must pay for women’s abortions.
Georgia Parent: He knows how to discipline his family. The only thing that can stop a bad kid and wife with an attitude is a good father with a gun.
Georgia Voter Concerned About Crime: I like that he has an honorary sheriff’s badge and knows how to fight crime. Though I don’t want to brag, I have a Space Rangers Badge and there haven’t been any alien invasions on my watch. Of course, I’m talking about extraterrestrial aliens and not the ones from Latin America whom Joe Biden recruits to replace white folks like me.
Georgia Voter Who Dropped Out of High School: I don’t like know-it-all politicians. Herschel is the first politician I can remember who’s dumber than me. He’s a throwback to the Know Nothing Party. I really admire college dropouts, even those that claim they graduated.
Kanye (Ye) Fan: He’s a stalking horse for Kanye’s 2024 Presidential campaign unless the Jews steal the election again.
Devout Christian: He has repented for all his previous sins just like Jeffrey Dahmer did.
