Let’s talk about Russian roulette with MoscowMitch , just ask HowardStern . (Video)

Mitch will do whatever his master Trump commands him to do, otherwise he has no career. He should have retired 40 years ago along with most of Washington's congress and senate!!!

Mr Walker you need to be careful of the chicken man.

McConnell and Walker both of them are out of their freaking minds two of a kind

And I bet Herschel is well let’s go Herschel let’s beat them

Ha

Because he's obviously qualified?

Mitch wouldn't back him if he thought Walker was going to lose. Georgia Dems need to stop messing around.

Wow nothing surprises me anymore. Walker is documented of having multiple personality disorder.

😡

The GOP really is at the bottom of the barrel.

Is anyone surprised?

From one joke to another ...

Why ? What has been doing since football?

He doesn't care about abuse. He just follows the crow.

Go Herschel!!!!!!

I guess Donnie twisted his arm.

Of course he does.. this man is totally unqualified for the job yet..... SMH! First MTG now HW .. at what point does it become embarrassing GA

Daddy Trump called him

Mitch better back Herschel, Trump told him to.

Walker is as crazy as they come. Mc Connell is waffling again.

Yeah! Moscow Mitch will endorse him because he HAS no other Republicans To endorse in that campaign!! Except a Democrat! And we all know he is too narrow minded to endorse anyone who is worthy of the position!!

The whole threatening a woman with a knife to her throat gave him pause.

He must be corrupt then, or McConnell is just trying to look like he's not racist. Don't trust it one bit.

Another unqualified politician! GOP

Certainly better than the clowns in there now. Go Herschel!!!!

Herschel Walker will make an excellent politician but he needs to stay away from guys like Mitch McConnell and all the establishment Republicans

They don't care about Herschel or what he stands for. It's it's party overall to elect a GOP 'body' in the Senate

I meant an Appalachian boy who was so poor you killed a squirrel by throwing a rock at him and he hit him in the head from quite a ways off and I was so tickled at that I wanted him to teach me how to be that good at throwing a rock when you're that hungry you bet your sweet ass

Of course he is. White people are always on the lookout for the next Sambo

so sad
