GOP Stooge Herschel Walker Brazenly Questions Theory Of Evolution
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Sean Rayford / Getty Herschel Walker certainly deserves accolades for his time on the football field and nothing can take away those achievements, but his current bid for a U.S. Senate seat is raising some eyebrows. While the former NFL and USFL star isn’t engaging in any debates ahead of primaries, Walker was seen questioning the theory of evolution with the same expertise as his hopeful political career. As noted by Huffington Post, Walker made an appearance at the Sugar Hill Church in Georgia over the weekend. The environment wasn’t a hostile one for the political neophyte, but one moment stood out clearly among others. “At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not?

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Mark Brown / Getty Kyrie Irving attracts attention not only for his world-class skills as a professional basketball player but also for his stance on COVID-19 vaccinations, a fact that made him a reluctant symbol of resistance to some.
