Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker enthusiastically offered for radical leftist reporter Elie Mystal to meet with him and “break bread” after Mystal viciously insulted Walker’s candidateship, however, the offer was snubbed.
Walker, a famous previous University of Georgia running back and NFL star, is the existing frontrunner for the GOP Senate election in Georgia. Former President Donald Trump greatly lobbied for Walker to go into politics and has actually backed his project, however, state Republicans have actually revealed issues that as a political beginner, Walker will resist Democratic attacks on his previous struggles with mental disorder and overstated business record.
Mystal, a justice reporter for the Nation, completely assaulted Walker’s Senate project in a column stating he “is an animated caricature of a Black person drawn by white conservatives.”
“Walker is what they think of us, and they think we’re big, ignorant, and easily manipulated,” Mystal, a black man, claimed. “They think we’re shady or criminal. They think we’re tools to be used. The Walker campaign exists as a political minstrel show: a splashy rendition of what white Republicans think Black people look and sound like.”

He savaged Walker with personal attacks, composing that he “displays a level of ignorance that would embarrass most sixth graders.”
“The modern Republican Party has proven that being an ignorant know-nothing who exists as a pure grievance candidate with no policies or platform is not a deal breaker for Republican voters,” Mystal asserted, among other insults the New York City liberal threw at GOP voters in Georgia and elsewhere.
Walker was talked to on “Fox News” by Sean Hannity and inquired about the short article. He got rid of the attacks.
“I know I signed up for this when I decided to run,” he said.
“It doesn’t matter what he called me,” Walker said, criticizing Democratic policies as wrong for Georgians. “I was bullied when I was a little kid. Words are not going to hurt me right now.”
“I’m the most qualified candidate for this race right now and I’m the most qualified candidate to represent Georgia as a United State Senator. So it doesn’t matter what you say. I know what I’ve done,” he argued, defending his record.
“I’m not going to have you bully me, because you can’t,” he said. And then he made an offer to Mystal: “What I would love to do for you to take the time to come down to Georgia, we sit down and break bread.”
“I’m about bringing people together, not separating people, when it seems like you are … that’s not Herschel Walker,” he finished.
Mystal reacted after the interview, decreasing Walker’s deal and implicating the prospect of fleing from arguments with other Republicans and with Georgia’s Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, whom Walker looks for to unseat.
“I’m not looking for a Senator, not a goddamn buddy,” Mystal wrote on Twitter.
All right, let's unpack this a sec. Taking the man at his word, the offer to drive down to.. Texas, to "break bread" with him fundamentally misunderstands the nature of the job he's applying for and my criticisms.
Put simply: I'm not looking for a Senator, not a goddamn buddy. https://t.co/VAeLhfe9X6— Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) April 15, 2022
“I do not care, nor should anyone else, if Walker if fun to have a beer with. We should care about Walker’s policies. And when you look at Walker’s policies, we find the MAGA gobbledygook stew, injected with Covid misinformation, drizzled in grievance, served on a bed of lies,” he continued.
The progressive reporter declared that he was “an easy target” for Walker and asserted “He’d much rather be fighting with me than: fighting with other Republicans, or Democrats, or talking to his constituents, or studying.”
“So *sadly*, I must decline Walker’s offer and this transparent attempt to distract people from his own cowardice and unwillingness to defend his policies in public. I respect the people of Georgia more than he does, and will not use this clown to raise my profile at their expense,” he said, dripping with contempt over a simple invitation to dinner.
