In today’s episode of Man, What The Hell Is Herschel Walker Over Here Talking About? the ex-football player who is looking to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate brought in 2022 with a message for the American people—which is to say he mumble rapped through a bunch of generic right-wing talking points and called it “a few things to think about as we start the New Year.”

Now, it’s not exactly easy to make out what all Walker was saying in the video because he was either drunk or there’s a noxious gas leak in the sunken place that whoever does maintenance down there needs to see about, but, according to The Guardian, he was attacking Democratic policies like that of his opponent Sen. Raphael Warnock and President Joe Biden.

And because Walker, like most prominent Black conservatives, has never expressed an original political thought in his entire existence in the realm of politics, his slurry rant just sounded like it was pulled straight from a Fox News teleprompter as he attacked Biden’s “Build Back Better” domestic spending plan which focuses on health care, social care and climate change—which are all wastes of money according to Republicans.

“You know I’m always thinking: If you want to build back better, first you probably want to control the border, because you want to know who you’re building it for and why,” Walker said. “Then you probably want to protect your military, because they’re protecting you against people in other countries that don’t like you.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar Beats Well-Funded Challenger Like He Stole Something in Minnesota Democratic Primary https://philadelphiaobserver.com/rep-ilhan-omar-beats-well-funded-challenger-like-he-stole-something-in-minnesota-democratic-primary/ Fri, 14 Aug 2020 03:11:54 +0000 http://philadelphiaobserver.com/?p=1446

 

 

Oh, the pundits waxed on about how Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive group of congresswomen known as “The Squad,” was facing serious trouble in the Minnesota Democratic primary on Tuesday. Oh, they waxed on about the money Antone Melton-Meaux, an attorney who also runs a mediation practice, had raised. Oh, you could just hear the glee dripping from their copy about how he was a serious challenge to Omar, who just so happens to roll with a crew of women who moonlight for Dora Milaje.

Well, someone forgot to tell Minnesota voters that this was supposed to be a close race because Ilhan Omar just walked out here and beat this boy like a rented mule. Early Wednesday numbers showed Omar cruising by more than 15 percentage points.

“In Minnesota, we know that organized people will always beat organized money,” Omar wrote on Twitter. “Tonight, our movement didn’t just win. We earned a mandate for change. Despite outside efforts to defeat us, we once again broke turnout records. Despite the attacks, our support has only grown.”

Omar’s victory ensured a “clean sweep of re-election fights for the group of first-term Democratic congresswomen of color,” (aka The Squad) and sends a message to the old guard of decrepit government that the progressive voice has staying power.
