Herschel Walker - Worst Candidate Ever? [View all]

Georgia’s Senate race is over and thankfully, Raphael Warnock, a man of intelligence and integrity, won.

Herschel Walker’s historical significance will likely lie in being remembered as the worst Senate candidate of the 21st century, and possibly the worst candidate for high office in American history.

Intellectually incoherent to the point of dumbness, politically ignorant, prone to wild lies and exaggerations, violently abusive in his personal life, despised by his former partners and son, and a shocking moral hypocrite who supported a complete ban on abortion while having been credibly accused of paying for two and also claiming it would have been no big deal if the allegations were true, I doubt a satirist could have come up with a fictional caricature less favorable than the reality.


I’ll say one good thing about Mr. Walker, though. His strongly articulated pro-werewolf stance was a refreshing change from politics as usual.
