REASON #19 NO ONE SHOULD EVER VOTE FOR HERSCHEL WALKER
He’s *fired on cops*. In 2001, Walker “‘talked about having a shootout with police.’ Around the same time, his therapist called police to say he was ‘volatile,’ armed, and scaring his estranged wife.”

CONCLUSION/ All this is just the tip of the iceberg. I could offer 25 more reasons just as harrowing. Herschel Walker may be the most unqualified person ever nominated for the U.S. Senate by a major party.
If he becomes a Senator, America has gone insane. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

PS/ I’m asking folks to both RETWEET the first tweet in this thread *and* bookmark the thread so that as we get even closer to the November national elections you can tweet it out again. Voters *must not forget* how grotesquely unqualified Herschel Walker is to be a U.S. senator.
BONUS REASON NO ONE SHOULD EVER VOTE FOR HERSCHEL WALKER
He can’t even distinguish between traditional pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions.
“He says climate efforts are pointless because ‘China’s bad air’ simply moves over into American ‘air space.’” factcheck.org/2022/07/georgi…

(NOTE) Whether Walker actually fired on police remains unclear. He’s told the story of events in 2001 as though he did, but officers at the time said he merely informed them that he was *considering* firing on them. Neither is within a million miles of OK. apnews.com/article/hersch…
(NOTE2) This thread hasn’t delved significantly into Walker’s extensive history with the police. It’s not readily possible to count all the people he’s threatened to kill—or all the times officers were called to his residence(s). He even stalked a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader (AP).
