The View’s Whoopi Goldberg on Thursday tore into Sen. Lindsey Graham’s assertion that Republicans can’t be racist because they nominated Herschel Walker for Senate, calling it “insulting” and “ignorant as hell.”
Following yet another allegation that the staunchly anti-abortion Walker urged a woman to abort their child, Graham has pulled out all the stops while trying to help push the ex-football star over the line in the pivotal Georgia Senate race. This included a joint interview on Fox News’ Hannity Wednesday night in which Graham suggested Walker’s campaign was groundbreaking due to his race.
“He changes the entire narrative of the left. We’re a party of racists, Sean,” the South Carolina senator exclaimed to host Sean Hannity. “Me and you are racists! The Republican Party is racist! Well, what happens when the Republican Party elects and nominates Herschel Walker, an African American, Black Heisman Trophy winner, right? Olympian. It destroys the whole narrative!”
