Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia, lost to Democratic incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock in their head-to-head runoff election on Tuesday night.
Walker conceded the race as Warnock leads by roughly 100,000 votes in the unofficial count.
The internet was quick to react to the loss.
An overwhelming majority of white Evangelical Christians voted for Herschel Walker, a man who paid for abortions, lied, allegedly physically threatened and traumatized his wife, and fronts for Trump, a criminal vulgarian. Their religion is white supremacy, not Christianity.

The fact that a disastrous, incompetent, sycophantic, white supremacy, apologizing, halfwit like Herschel Walker is this close to becoming a US senator says all we need to know about the racially polarized, dysfunctional, state of America.
