Herschel Walker gets late support from noted antisemite

It’s the final day of the Georgia run-off election between Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker and incumbent Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock All votes must be cast by the time polls close on Tuesday in the most bruising election of the 2022 midterm election cycle.

While the polls and betting markets seem to have Warnock ahead, Walker is pulling out all the stops to win the election, even in the face of mounting criticism from within his own party.

It’s not helping that every speech and public appearance seems to create a new viral video of Walker misspeaking or saying something that defies logic. It also doesn’t help that he’s receiving public endorsements from some of the worst people out there.

Along with former President Donald Trump, Walker received some late support from Kanye West, who has blown up his professional career and personal life in recent days thanks to antisemitic tirades and shocking statements.

West took to social media on Tuesday to drive voting support for Walker, in a move that Herschel’s campaign probably wasn’t too thrilled about, even if they don’t mind the white supremacist vote.

Walker’s campaign has been mired in scandals and controversies for months so, in some ways, aligning with an antisemite on election day doesn’t even make the list of the worst things about his campaign.
