Georgians have two choices for the Senate seat in this year’s midterms. One is the incumbent, Sen. Raphael Warnock. He’s the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, a Democrat, the first Black senator serving on the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee; Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee; Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee; and the Special Committee on Aging and the Joint Economic Committee. The other is Herschel Walker, a retired NFL star with questionable business practices who doesn’t believe in evolution. Not a challenging decision if you ask me. But … it is Georgia.

Walker gave a speech at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia Sunday where he actually questioned the science of evolution, not just implying but challenging the notion that if apes and humans coexisted, that means there is no evolution. He’s the GOP front-runner.
“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? ... If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Herschel said.
“Now you’re getting too smart for us, Herschel,” Lead Pastor Chuck Allen responded.
“I probably shouldn’t tell you,” Walker told Glenn Beck in 2020. “Do you know right now, I have something that [you can bring] into a building, that will clean you of COVID, as you walk through this, this dry mist?”
Even Beck looked suspicious, but Walker rambled on.
“As you walk through the door, it will kill any COVID on your body,” he continues. He leans in and adds, “EPA-, FDA-approved,” then continues: “When you leave—it will kill the virus as you leave, this here product,” Walker says. He adds that he has a second unspecified miracle product, a “spray” possibly indicated for use after the dry mist treatment.
“They don’t want to talk about that. They don’t want to hear about that,” Walker says. “And I’m serious.”
But big props to Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reporter Greg Bluestein for pointing out something a lot of people didn’t: Walker’s camp has been propagating the myth that Walker graduated from the University of Georgia with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. That’s a lie.
A lie found on his Amazon author site, his Speaker Booking Agency page, and his New Georgia Encyclopedia entry, the AJC reported.
Walker is hoping to unseat Warnock in 2022.
