Herschel Walker Follows Up Nonsensical Solution To Gun Violence With An Even More Bonkers Take

Herschel Walker Follows Up Nonsensical Solution To Gun Violence With An Even More Bonkers Take

Herschel Walker, a former football star who recently won the Republican nomination for the 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia, sparked controversy after he suggested a rather nonsensical solution to gun violence.

Walker's remarks came as the nationwide debate on gun control measures reignited following a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.


Speaking about the murders of 19 children and two teachers, Walker noted "Cain killed Abel," referring to the story about the conflict that erupted between the first two sons of Adam and Eve after they were expelled from the Garden of Eden in the biblical book of Genesis.

He went on to suggest there should be "a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women that looking at social media" and, oddly for a Republican, said he wanted to put money in the “mental health field” instead of “departments that want to take away your rights.”

You can hear Walker's remarks in the video below.

Perhaps even more incomprehensibly, Walker said he likes to "see it and everything and stuff" when asked by reporters if he believes there should be stronger gun control laws in the wake of the shooting.

Walker's remarks left many dumbfounded, especially because he recently won his Republican Senate primary as the best option for the GOP for Congress.




Walker is known for making head-scratching remarks.

Last month, Walker was widely mocked on social media after he claimed that Democratic President Joe Biden's administration “decided that they were going to give up our energy."

Walker continued to offer some incomprehensible energy policy advice, and went on to say that the Biden administration "started the whole downfall" because the United States is not "energy dependent anymore."

Claiming that the Biden administration has "blamed everyone else except themselves," he referred to the Michael Jackson song "The Man in the Mirror," saying that "you gotta look at yourself to know what's going on."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
