A Facebook friend, a retired DVM who is black, wrote this on his wall, and he gave me permission to share it:
The GOP should be ashamed but it’s not. Instead they’re doubling down on Herschel Walker. Anything at all to gain a senate seat.
They know it but don’t give a damn that he is a slap in the face to Black intellectual competence, incapable of intelligently articulating anything much less understanding important issues. It’s sad seeing them on TV grinning in his face at rallies when you know they are shaking their heads and laughing at him behind his back. It’s not hard to imagine how he must be the butt of many of their jokes behind closed doors.
How can anyone understand much less take seriously a candidate who’s solution to mass shootings is “a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women that’s looking at social media”? That is just one of many examples of why he’s not qualified to come anywhere near anyone’s seat of government.
Shame on you, GOP - but, unfortunately, this embarrassing (at least to me it is) disaster is part of the sad reality we now find ourselves living in. Trump and Trumpism have taken our country to a place darker than it has been in a long, long time and I fear whether we will ever be able to fully extricate ourselves.
