Herschel Walker Refuses to Denounce Kanye West’s Endorsement, Divisive Comments

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “Walker’s Senate Campaign Did Not Respond Sunday To Requests For Comment” 

Atlanta, GA — A day after Kanye West endorsed Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate race, he has refused to denounce his support, refusing to comment Sunday when asked about West’s support. According to reporting from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “Walker came to West’s defense in 2018.” 

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

  • The entertainer posted a photograph to his Instagram feed of Republican Senate hopeful Herschel Walker, with the caption: “PRO LIFE.”
  • West has recently unleashed a blizzard of antisemitic statements and recently wore a shirt with a slogan linked to white supremacists. He also accused Jewish people of trying to incite a “Holocaust” against Black Americans.
  • If West’s nod for Walker seems out of left field, it’s not. 
  • In fact, Walker came to West’s defense in 2018 after a segment on CNN slammed the entertainer for supporting Donald Trump. 
  • Walker’s Senate campaign did not respond Sunday to requests for comment about the apparent endorsement from West.
