Herschel Walker Blames Wife's 'Awful Genes' for Son Being an Ugly Baby

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker jokingly blamed his wife's "awful genes" for the fact his son Christian Walker was an "ugly" baby.

The comments have gained renewed attention online after Twitter account PatriotTakes shared clips of a talk Herschel Walker delivered to military personnel and civilian staff at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.

PatriotTakes, which describes itself as "researchers monitoring and exposing right-wing extremism," noted in its Twitter thread that the comments were from the event in 2019.

In another video clip of the event shared by PatriotTakes, Walker said he had "rounded" Christian's head "every day" and that it not only made him look like Walker's side of the family but also "made him smart."

WTF??? This is what R's think is an answer to an effective Senator? You gotta ask if their base is as stupid as Walker.

34. At least the concept of Jackass was that they intentionally hurt themselves...

For other people's pleasure. Herschel deliberately hurts other people for his pleasure and political gain. What an asshole.

[Turbineguy]

Maybe he's just in it for the health plan....

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

[catchnrelease]

22. I think they may have dropped him on it!!! n/t

[republianmushroom]

8. and this was Georgia's best republican to run for the senate

[Just A Box Of Rain]

10. And they had to import him from Texas.

"Candidate quality"

[LakeArenal]

11. If you mean effective in the sense that he's manipulatable, then yes.

Edit: It ALWAYS women’s fault with these guys.

[eppur_se_muova]

12. Takes two to tangle, Herschey.

There's a fair amount of ugly on your branch of the family tree.

[cpamomfromtexas]

31. TRUE!

[Bayard]

13. I'm surprised

That rethuglicans haven't put duct tape across his mouth yet.

[paleotn]

14. That's an afirm. Their base IS that f'ing stupid....

and the moneyed class doesn't want an "effective" Senator. They want a robot. See Tim Scott (R-SC) as an example.

[demigoddess]

15. there shouldn't be political speeches on a military base. but there is.

evangelical 'christians' work to capture the cadets at the air force academy in colorado springs.

[Haggard Celine]

29. Yes, they've been proselytizing in Colorado Springs for a long time.

That's the first thing I thought of when I heard there was a shooting there. At a gay bar, naturally.

[maxrandb]

16. Holy "effing" Christ on a Trailer Hitch

Some fucking base CO actually invited this bag of dicks to speak to the troops?

In the Navy we would say; "he's the guy you could order to bring you a bucket of steam and you'd never see him again"

[Tanuki]

17. "You're the reason our kids are ugly...."

[wryter2000]

You're a walking, talking ad for Warnock.

[Paladin]

[UTUSN]

25. Yes and yes!

[Efilroft Sul]

20. Herschel Walker is a dumb white voter's notion of a smart black man.

[JI7]

21. No, he is the type of person that racist white people expect or rather WANT

black people to be like.

[area51]

36. +1 n/t

[Treefrog]

23. Does Herschel think he, himself, is good looking?

Gag.

[Solly Mack]

24. I don't know what to do with any of that.

[Mr.Bill]

26. Here's my off-the-wall prediction:

Walker loses the Senate race and Trump picks him to be his VP in 2024.

[Bird Lady]

27. Really?

Has he looked in a mirror? He has no room to talk.

[Escurumbele]

28. I will answer your question "You gotta ask if their base is as stupid as Walker."...YES!

[ZonkerHarris]

30. Herschel on his babies...

[tavernier]

32. And this man honestly sees himself as a "looker"?

The ONLY thing this butt ugly, slow witted person has in his favor is a lot of money coming from other butt ugly, slow witted people.

And we all know who they are.

[Initech]

33. What a fucking asshole!

And the Christian right eats this shit up!

[allegorical oracle]

35. Ornery of me to say, but Herschel's no Barack Obama in the looks department. n/t

[LudwigPastorius]

37. I'm afraid you're going to have to hit the Hersch-y Highway after December 6th, Bubba Gump.

We'll see how many of your recent Republican friends will return your calls after that.

[DemocraticPatriot]

38. they bought the candidate long ago--- all they wish

is that he would keep his stupid mouth shut until the election! LOL

[Hekate]

39. He talks as tho he's brain damaged from his football career. What kind of cynical & cruel people...

… would run him as a candidate?

Oh right — Republicans.

[GoodRaisin]

40. I used to joke that R voters would vote for a house plant if it had an "R" beside it.

Now the party is literally running the equivalent of a house plant.
