Terrible Gaffes: Top Reasons Why Herschel Walker Refuses to Debate Reverend Warnock

September 12, 2022

Despite saying that he’d debate Reverend Warnock any time, anywhere, Herschel Walker has continued to insist he will only participate in his preferred debate hosted by Nexstar. It’s a reversal from his previous comments that he would debate Reverend Warnock “any day of the week,” and a disservice to Georgia voters who deserve multiple opportunities to see the clear choice they have in this election.  

Now that Reverend Warnock has said he will agree to participate in Walker’s preferred debate in Savannah hosted by Nexstar, with no provided topics, will Walker pick Macon or Atlanta for the second debate, quit the games, and show the people of Georgia if he’s really ready to represent them?

If Walker keeps chickening out…we know why:

 Walker’s bizarre statements and gaffes have him scared to take the stage.

  1. Herschel Walker doesn’t want to rehash his opposition to the Inflation Reduction Act, which he described as “a lot of money, it’s going to trees” and “we have enough trees.” 
  1. Herschel Walker doesn’t want to answer for his nonsensical comments on climate policy, which he described as “our good air decided to float over to China’s bad air.”
  2. Herschel Walker doesn’t want to explain his idea, in response to the Uvalde school shooting, for a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women that’s looking at social media.”
  1. Herschel Walker doesn’t want to confront his skepticism of evolution, claiming the existence of apes disproves evolution science.  
  2. Herschel Walker doesn’t want to be embarrassed detailing how the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, named in honor of Lewis’ life’s work to secure voting rights, “just doesn’t fit what John Lewis stood for.
