Herschel Walker has a pattern of offering questionable answers, avoiding the media and has been accused of making threats against women. In today’s episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza breaks down how despite all that, he’s the GOP candidate for Senate in Georgia, capturing former President Donald Trump’s endorsement along the way.

Herschel Walker's answer on gun violence is literally nonsensical
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
Less than 48 hours after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker was asked on Fox about the nation's gun violence problem — and what to do about it.
Here's what he said Thursday morning:
"Cain killed Abel and that's a problem that we have. What we need to do is look into how we can stop those things. You know, you talked about doing a disinformation — what about getting a department that can look at young men that's looking at women that's looking at their social media. What about doing that? Looking into things like that and we can stop that that way. But yet they want to just continue to talk about taking away your constitutional rights. And I think there's more things we need to look into. This has been happening for years and the way we stop it is putting money into the mental health field, by putting money into other departments rather than departments that want to take away your rights."

Hershel’s brain is so broken. He is the personification of empty headed Republican politics.
We used to call them “dumb jocks.” They’re supposed to open car dealerships, not make laws.
Stalking and threatening to shoot multiple women in the head sound pretty darn evil to me.
Good point
this dude is deranged . . . . *making threats against women . . . * literally, he has NOTHING TO SAY . . . .
Concussion!😂
@Yaz Salamanca on his worst day he’s Einstein compared to 45 and butter biscuits Walker.
Prime example of how famous people who have no history in understanding how the law works should not be given the privilege to legislate it.
@Chris Davis …🤗..good ANSWER…
You mean like a reality show personality?
@ixsicness Cain killed Abel. He communicated that fact very well.😂
Hershey Walker is basically the president from Idiocracy, all the way down to his poor CTE-ravaged brain (or what’s left of it anyway) 😂
Idiocracy’s president could at least string a sentence together
He is definitely like President Camacho. Haha
I wish everyone would stop blaming CTE. This man is not bright and never was. Play the CTE card too much and he will get sympathy votes. In any other western democracy he would not get 5% of the vote. My guess is Mitch has a plan to replace him. If he wins , that will out do the shock of Trump by a mile. He was taught lines and keeps forgetting them.
@Mark Poidvin Mitch knows he will shuk when commanded so there is no need to replace him. Just tell him how to vote.
The fact that ANYONE will vote for this disaster of a human being is proof that we’re doomed as a country. Come on Georgia, you’ve been on a roll, don’t disappoint us now.
@SIMON SAYS Un real!! ugh…
@SIMON SAYS not state, district!! She couldnt win a state election. We also gave you a Senate Majority.
@JBeezy valid point . . It was that district. And Ty for helping America by electing 2 Dems. Cheers.
Hopefully that won’t change in Nov..
@SIMON SAYS beat me to it
Do you think this history will matter to Georgia voters in November? – Chris
@Karl Todd 1k comments = bot
No, people in the south will vote for anyone that talks like Trump.
Nothing matters anymore the last 6 years have showed me that…
@Randi Bagley-Goodwin I heard it’s from fairly serious brain injury from numerous concussions….it’s just one of his “conditions”.
If they have a sixth grade education it does. 😂
Major mistake here: having a reputation for threatening women is NOT a liability in GOP. It’s an asset.
@Tammy Brothers you mean men. And yes. 🧔🏻♀️
Sad but true
@NY catlady bill klinton?
Another mistake: being an incompetent conman/crook is not a liability in the GOP. It’s an asset.
Absolutely.✔
LMAO
Were you talking about Joe Biden? thanks

This individual has no more business in the US Senate than my cat. That he won his primary certainly speaks volumes about GA voters. HORRIFYING!!!
Walker has a constant expression of confusion and that of being unsure of what he is saying. He answers everything like it’s a trick question. Not the expression or attitude he had on the grid iron. I’d like to see how long it takes him to get just one side on a Rubix Cube.
I can’t believe people listen to the words that come out of Herschel’s mouth and then want him to make decisions for their state.
@Mark Poidvin didn’t you vote for Biden? Lol🤣

Imagine the minds of the people that would vote for this man. It’s over for America.
@AWOL, CPA, adding onto a statement isn’t “whataboutism.” Lol you people learn one new word and then throw it around everywhere. Head back to school lmao.
Have you seen our president? I’ve seen old people more coherent on life support!
Dang, Herschel needs a translator. He can pay someone to clarify his utterances. Sadly, his non-existent ethics and morals are personal problems money can’t fix.
Is Luther available?
” Sadly, his non-existent ethics and morals are personal problems money can’t fix.” Luck for him, he is running as a Republican, so a lack of morals and ethics wont affect him negatively!
I’m starting to think Mike Judge is doing a voice over.
Watching what used to be the republicans party close ranks behind him is embarrassing. Embarrassing for black men, athletes, and republicans.

Even Herschel doesn’t know what he’s saying!! That’s why homie scared to do debates, he’ll make a fool out of himself!!
Herschel walker is the equivalent of Joe Biden.
Do the people who voted for this man think he has the mental capacity to do anything to HELP them in their lives…or did they just vote for an old football player? 🤦♀️
Herschel doesn’t even realize that he’s “not up to snuff.”
“A mind is a terrible thing ”

“Run Herschel, run!” – Trump knows this guy has taken too many blows to the head. How unfortunate.
Two things: 1- Walker has clearly had too many knocks to the head; 2- It says a lot about a country where someone like this is even a contender.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!
Absolutely 100% correct !!!
Lord help us so dumb
Especially when the country has elected a president just like him.thanks
@Jo man But the orange clown got kicked out.
