'SHAME ON MSNBC': GA Senate Candidate Herschel Walker Calls Out MSNBC for 'Negroes' Comment

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.02.22

Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker replied to racially charged comments made by MSNBC guest Elie Mystal during a segment on MSNBC’s The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross; Mystal called out Walker as “what Republicans want from their Negroes” in a Black candidate.

Watch the clip below:

Walker responded to Mystal’s comments, saying “Shame on MSNBC and shame on him. I’m going to pray for both of them because they need Jesus.”

“A lot of people have been asking me to say something about the man on MSNBC that called me an N-word. Here’s what I got to say about that: Shame on MSNBC and shame on him. I’m going to pray for both of them because they need Jesus,” Walker said.

He added, “When I saw what he said, it reminded me of the differences between myself and my opponent, [Democratic] Senator [Raphael] Warnock, and the left-wing crazies that believe that America is fundamentally a bad country full of racist people. They want to divide us, turn us against each other. We have our problems, but we can solve them together. You know, this is a good country, full of good people. With God’s help, we’re going to bring the people of Georgia back together. Let’s make this a great day. God bless.”

Mystal went on to say Walker was playing the victim in a recent Twitter update of his own:

“I of course did not call @HerschelWalker “the N word. But, once again, you see the play here. He’s trying to appeal to conservative whites who believe “all black people use the n-word, why can’t I?” He’s trying to validate their racial hangups, and play a vicitm.”

Walker is currently in a tight race with Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock.
