If there’s anything that the Democratic Party should be thoroughly embarrassed about as they consider the last two years heading into the midterms, it’s the fact that GOP Senatorial candidate Herschel Walker is within the margin of error in Georgia. At least every couple of weeks he’s making headlines, or we’re seeing clips of his comments circulating on social media. Each reason, of course, almost inevitably more ridiculous than the last. Not for the first time, Walker recently made headlines for his comments regarding climate change.

Rachel Frazin with The Hill writes:

“Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker (R) reiterated his opposition to Democrats’ climate, health care and taxes bill over the weekend, arguing that too much of the money is “going to trees.”

“They continue to try to fool you like they are helping you out. But they’re not. They’re not helping you out because a lot of money, it’s going to trees,” Walker said, according to a clip of his remarks that was shared with The Hill.

“Don’t we have enough trees around here?” he added, in comments that were first reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
