BREAKING: Trump endorses former NFL player Herschel Walker for US Senate
Former President Donald J. Trump released a statement Wednesday, endorsing former NFL player and Heisman trophy winner Herschel Walker to run for the United States Senate out of Georgia.
Former President Donald J. Trump released a statement Wednesday, endorsing former NFL player and Heisman trophy winner Herschel Walker to run for the United States Senate out of Georgia.
The statement released by the office of the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump reads, “Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia? He would be unstoppable just like he was when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and in the NFL.”
“He is also a GREAT person.” Donald Trump continued. “Run Herschel, run!”
Sports legend Herschel Walker previously garnered attention after releasing a video in September on Twitter that clearly iterated his disdain for the Black Lives Matter movement.
“First, I want to apologize to the American people because I was blind but now I can see. I was deaf but now I can hear. The other day I was listening to one of the founders of Black Lives Matter, and I heard her say that they are ‘trained Marxists.’ And I’ve heard that statement so many times.”
Walker continued:
“But then yesterday, I finally heard it. And I saw it with my own eyes. And I’m challenging every owner in the NFL, every owner of major league sports, every owner of stadiums, every commissioner, every leader in Washington, every church:”
“I’m challenging every professional player: Is this who you’re supporting? Because a trained Marxist tells you that they’re anti-government; they’re anti-American; they’re anti-Christian; they’re anti-everything,” was Walkers pointed question at the end.
“I see all these signs; I see all these logos; I see all these commercials; I see all this stuff, and it’s okay, because we’re in America. You can support who you want and do what you want, but I need to know and the American people need to know that when you talk about support of BLM, are you supporting the group that said that they are trained Marxists? Because they’re making a lot of money, and I’d like to know.”
It’s unclear if Walker will run for U.S. Senate but it’s evident he has the support of former President Trump.
