2022 Midterms

Even the Hosts at Fox News Are Laughing at Herschel Walker

During an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker said that he doesn’t want to be like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and beg for donations. But then he turned around and did just that, according to Raw Story.

“I’m going to say this, Brian, I’m not Lindsey Graham, but you’ve got to go to TeamHerschel.com,” Walker said during the interview Wednesday. “I want everyone to to go TeamHerschel. com because they’re not going to buy this seat. They can’t win on their policies, so they’re trying to do right now is buy this seat. Well, they’re not going to buy it. I don’t care where [Sen. Raphael Warnock] is getting his money from.”

“I love the Lord Jesus,” he added. “That’s the reason I got into this race, and we’re going to go out and beat Sen. Warnock because he don’t stand for Georgia.”

Kilmeade can be outspoken. He did after all tell former President Donald Trump to “grow up” and “learn to lose,” and this time around he turned on a little snark while bidding Walker adieu.

“Herschel, best of luck,” he said. “It’s a sprint to December 6. Thanks so much for joining us.”

“Thank you,” Walker replied. “God bless. And TeamHerschel.com. I love you.”

“Right!” Kilmeade said. “You are doing your best Lindsey Graham impression.”

Of course, Graham is no stranger to pandering. Which he did during the 2020 election when appearing on Fox News.

“LindseyGraham.com. Help me. They’re killing me, money-wise. Help me. You helped me last week — help me again. LindseyGraham.com.,” he said during an interview with Sean Hannity.

Just last week, Graham and Walker appeared on Hannity’s show, where Graham implored viewers to donate to Walker’s campaign — even to the point of doing push-ups. Which was absurd, but this is Lindsey Graham after all. But I’m not sure if Walker is able to see his own hypocrisy here.

And Brian Kilmeade is a mixed bag, but the snark was definitely appropriate here.

I’ve included a clip of the interview below.
