- Herschel Walker delved into an ancient, mythic debate during a Wednesday stump speech in Georgia.
- The Senate candidate came out as pro-werewolf as he described the plot of a vampire movie.
- "A werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that," he told a crowd.
Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker delivered a bizarre diatribe about vampires and werewolves during a stump speech in McDonough, Georgia on Wednesday in a verbose example of the former athlete's ongoing, unorthodox candidacy.
Walker, who is headed to a December run-off against Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock, regaled a Georgia audience this week with the plot details of a vampire movie he said he was recently watching late at night.
"I don't know if you know, but vampires are some cool people, are they not?" the congressional candidate said. "But let me tell you something that I found out: A werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that."
"So, I don't want to be a vampire anymore," Walker added, without further context. "I want to be a werewolf."

For more than two minutes, Walker stood at the podium recounting the apparent plot details of this mystery movie, which he identified as "Fright Night, Freak Night, or some type of night."
Tom Holland's 1985 "Fright Night" and its 2011 remake both center vampires in their story, though neither feature werewolves, nor do their stories resemble the plot explanation Walker delivered to a crowd of unsuspecting supporters.
Perhaps it was the "Underworld" film series that Walker was referencing, which detail a mythical war between vampires and werewolves. Or maybe Walker caught a late-night "Twilight" marathon and decided to engage in the age-old Edward vs. Jacob debate.
Either way, the former NFL player eventually tried to tie his ramblings back to a key component of his campaign: Faith.
"And that's where it is in our life. It don't even work unless you've got faith," Walker said, after describing a movie scene that involved holy water and a cross. "We gotta have faith."
Walker's pro-family and anti-abortion campaign has been marred by revelations that he was hiding "secret" children from public view, as well as allegations from a former girlfriend that he paid for her abortion — which he has denied.
But neither Walker nor Warnock won 50% of the required vote outright in the election last week, meaning Walker supporters and Georgia voters alike could be in for three more weeks of vampires vs. werewolves.

well, he is the perfect representative of todays GOP brain trust...
That's brain bust.
every hat he wears requires a chin strap...
OMG.
... another high quality GOP candidate ready to represent conservative values, if elected.
.LOL! I had a mouthful of tea when I read the title. I thought Gsquared was going to have buy me a new keyboard
Vampires and Werewolves? Perhaps Walker is courting every vote. Besides, the Trump likes him and that is that, right?
He's courting the MAGA vote who believe Democrats are lizard people. Perhaps he believes 'werewolves' can also lizard people...
A few years ago, these types of folk expressing such insanity would be locked up, now they run as Republicans for office...
It's a requirement for today's gop/republicans/gqp/alleged conservatives - usually with a criminal record also.
Hey! It shows he doesn't discriminate against the furry people among us
Since Mr. Walker declared that he was Native American, Cherokee to be exact he should be talking about Skinwalkers, Wendigo's, and shapeshifters but a true Cherokee would be talking about the Ravenmocker.
Come on Hershel get with the program.
Maybe he's confusing Warnock with warlock.
probably. I doubt the idiot could find himself in a group photo without a number on his shirt.
He can speak in complete sentences and comprehend small talk .

Oh my. The comprehension of the MAGA in full splendor.
Soon to be MAGAGAs
You must be thinking about someone else.
Definitely someone else.
Can’t you read your own link?

Well, yes. I can. Can't you read your own links?
Ya, he's perfectly articulate and highly intelligent.

Biden is elderly with slowness of speech at times and still has a bit of a stutter, Fetterman is recovering from a stroke but beat trump's Oz by a mile. I'll take those types of inarticulation any day.
Do you always mock human frailties and disabilities?

That's all they have Pat
Best to refrain from 'the MAGA' circle jerk syndrome.
It needs to be called out. I know it's tiresome.
I do feel sorry for Walker. I'm sure he's had several hits to the helmet during his career. Many former NFL players have a type of TBI from their years as players.
Do not 'feel sorry'. Walker may win.
Those hits to the helmet weren't his fault. What is his fault is that he doesn't recognize his limitations.
to be a republican, he just needs to have a head, not necessarily one that fully functions...
The compassion and empathy for stroke victims is underwhelming. Plus the enabling and support of trumpturdians
Ummmm, those really aren’t complete sentences. That aside, speaking in complete sentences doesn’t mean much if what you are saying is fucking insane or otherwise incredibly stupid.
The '85 Fright Night was better.
But he's a football hero. Isn't that important in America?
Nah not really, not like he was a former president or something like that..
Actually, as a former Georgia Bulldog football hero, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner,
the leading USFL rusher for the NJ Generals and later the NFL Cowboys, there are
plenty of people who worship the ground Herschel drools on, especially in Georgia.
The only former President held in higher esteem is Jefferson Davis.
Personally in 1985, among other perks, the owner of the New Jersey Generals (DJT)
asked our dealership to "lend" Mr. Walker a car for a few weeks. After two months
we got the car back with 25,000 miles on it, bald tires and the interior carpeting
and seat covers completely ruined from "cigarette burns and related damage".
In the eloquence of a person who has suffered too many concussions, Herschel insisted
that he only used the car once to travel to Georgia to see his sick Mama.
Insisted he didn't know anything, like a child.
I met him again much later and he had a whole litany of excuses for what might
have happened to the car even though I didn't bring it up and we never charged him for it.
He's a paranoid schizophrenic.
Not Senate material.
Then again, Georgia has every right to get what they deserve.
Unfortunately, they might inflict him on the rest of us.
No wonder Trump loves him.
On this episode of Bag of Hammers , Herschel watches a movie about vampires and werewolves . . . and learns an important life lesson.
"A werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that," he told a crowd.
Who wants to tell Herschel that imaginary characters can do anything that an imagination can dream up?

It is serious. Serious enough that I wouldn't want anyone, Republican OR Democrat, with TBI making decisions on my behalf.
Exactly. Doesn’t matter what party he is part of, a man this stupid and with a brain that dysfunctional doesn’t belong anywhere near ANY levers of power. The fact that republicans want to legitimately put the mentally handicapped in charge of our government is disheartening.
That poor man, exploited by the GOP and the poor voters who will vote for him just because the "R" is his party affiliation. He really isn't capable of serious governing for the people of his state.
he's already proven several times that he's not smart enough to put on a condom...
Yet he can arrange for several abortions. The man is truly an enigma.
Walker is a fucking hypocrite.
So he's a Republican.
The only cool vampires were Kate Breckenridge and Vampirella ... oh, and one of my x-wives.
Funny, although you are probably serious.
There was one that was kinda cool. He ran a hotel...
Lol, my kids like him.
Hotel Transylvania?
Christ.
I thought this was satire.
I watched Walker let his inner teenage girl out.
This is Trump's handpicked candidate for senator.
Minus the teeth actually needed for legislating.
Stupidity only a lifetime of concussions can explain.
How in the fuck can this guy seriously be considered by anyone to be fit for an elected office?
Republicans are hypocrites, it's as simple as that. I'll be honest I had questions and still do about now Senator Elect Fetterman, but come on Republicans are running the poster child for CTE.
Hershel Walker has acknowledged being diagnosed with a very serious and difficult to treat mental illness, one of the personality disorders. He played football, sustained numerous concussions that we know about. Surely he had others not recorded. The guy can't talk his way through a drive through order.
What is going on in this country? Imagine these two debating a Declaration of War on the Senate floor? CSPAN to Comedy Central?
Herschel Walker spoke at a rally the other night.
Unfortunately he forgot to pay attention to the phase of the moon.
