Georgia Republican Senate candidate, Herschel Walker, spent the closing moments of his runoff election campaign telling voters he has no idea what pronouns are while railing against “wokeness” in the military.
“I told you early on that they said there was peace through strength, and our strength is our great military,” Walker said at a campaign event.
“But now they’re bringing pronouns into our military, they’re bringing wokeness into our military,” he continued. “I don’t even know what the heck is a pronoun, I can tell you that. I’m sick and tired of this pronoun stuff. What I want our military men and women to do is to be at war fighting.”
Walker’s latest comment caps what has been a campaign defined by lies, policy gaffes and head scratching comments such as claiming that “bad air” floated from China to replace America’s “good air and proposing “a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women that’s looking at social media” as a solution to mass shootings.
Walker has also been accused of having ‘secret’ children and paying for abortions, despite being a staunch anti-abortion candidate.
Walker finished behind Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in the midterm election. But, since Warnock did not receive more than 50 percent of the vote both candidates are scheduled for a rematch in a runoff election on Tuesday, Dec. 6.
Since the November election, Walker’s campaign has been limiting his media appearances to friendly right-wing outlets with surrogates like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C) by his side. But, they were simply unable to rein in Walker who misspoke during a Fox News interview last month, saying “this erection is for the people” presumably meaning to say “election” instead.
Left to his own devices on the campaign trail, he rants about wanting to be a werewolf and told a Politico reporter that his victory in the runoff election is crucial for Republicans because it would result in an evenly divided House.
At least one top Republican in Georgia, outgoing Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, is rebuking Walker saying he will likely become “one of the worst candidates in our party’s history.”
“I’m a conservative. I’m a conservative because I feel like it’s the best way to govern. I’ve been a Republican a lot longer than a lot of folks. I think I’ve got kids probably that could articulate the conservative platform better than some of the candidates that Donald Trump and his group supported all across the country,” Duncan told CBS News.
“This wasn’t the right brand for Republicanism,” he continued, “and I think Herschel Walker will probably go down as one of the worst candidates in our party’s history.
