Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
That’s exactly what former NFL player Herschel Walker has done.
Herschel Walker, the University of Georgia football legend now running for the U.S. Senate, has broken ranks with his most powerful backer, former President Donald Trump. Asked whether he supported Trump’s contention that Republicans shouldn’t vote in upcoming elections because of Trump’s claims of election fraud, Walker said “that is not the right message.”
âI think everyoneâs got to get out and vote,â Walker said on Brian Kilmeade’s radio show. âYou know, we canât look at the past. We canât continue to look at the past.â
Wowie! Herschel Walker doesnât understand how the 2021 GOP works! When asked about Trumpâs latest statement about 2020 election, he says, âThatâs not the right message..Iâm very honored he endorsed me .. but he knows Herschel Walker is going to it HWâs way.. Itâs not DT running.â pic.twitter.com/44u9HPdIew

Trump offered a full endorsement of Walker’s Senate run back in September:
“Herschel Walker is a friend, a Patriot, and an outstanding American who is going to be a GREAT United States Senator,” Trump wrote in a statement. “Herschel Walker will never let you down. He was a great football player and will be an even better U.S. Senator â if that is even possible. He has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
We’ll have to wait and see how Trump reacts to Herschel breaking ranks.
