From the comments below the Herschel Walker video on Patriot Takes: “Not qualified to run a Burger King,” which we say is true and have always added the test; “Would you let Herschel Walker pick your kids up from school and get them home safely?” No, it’s not that we think Herschel Walker is a unique danger to kids so much as uniquely unable to navigate life with any sort of normalcy.

In fact, Walker is so out of it that we go back and forth on whether it is even okay to laugh at him or should all of this be perceived as a mental illness of the type that even Walker has admitted has plagued his past. Is it trauma to his brain from football? We are only beginning to learn about the dangers of CTE. Or is Walker just plain dumb as ham? None of these are mutually exclusive, so it makes it hard to handle.

In this video, however, stupidity is the leading candidate. You have to be really stupid to think that electric cars cost more than a house, that electric cars have solar panels on the roof, and that you are expected to live out of your solar car because it does cost more than a house. It is like quizzing a tree stump.

Herschel Walker thinks electric cars “cost more than [his] house,” and the government wants him to put “solar panels …on the roof of [his] car” and “live in” it. pic.twitter.com/A8eFqOg6l3

Holy shit. And he sits there so calmly, relaying this information as if it is obvious, and he’s educating people with his deep intellectual insights. Twitter wasn’t having it, and they are less charitable than us.

Hard to understand how anyone can watch him talk and think, “yeah, that’s the guy I’m gonna vote for.”

Where is his family or any loved ones and why are they letting him be used like this by a political party?

We REALLY need to pay attention to the physical damage that is done to people who play professional football, esp the head injuries.

Herschel Walker makes a bowl of soup sound smart.

How many hits did he take while in his former profession? Man is he a case study for where the NFL went wrong and needs to handle the fallout they created by CTE, it’s really not even funny seeing how confused he is

He needs to stop worrying about CRT and start worrying about his obvious CTE

What’s so weird about Walker is that he absorbs this list of things Republicans are supposed to hate and fear, like clean energy, and conflates everything into garbled fear-mongering nonsense. He didn’t mention windmills killing birds though.
