Walker’s campaign apparently saw nothing wrong with using a swastika until someone pointed it out to them:
A spokesperson for the campaign said the image was not a swastika, telling the AJC, “This is clearly an anti-mandatory vaccination graphic. Herschel unequivocally opposes anti-semitism and bigotry of all kinds.”
A spokeswoman released a second statement to Channel 2 Action News on Wednesday afternoon that reads:
“Herschel is a strong friend of Israel and the Jewish community and opposes hatred and bigotry of all forms. Despite the fact that the apparent intent behind the graphic was to condemn government vaccine mandates, the symbol used is very offensive and does not reflect the values of Herschel Walker or his campaign.”
Yeah, ok.
He canceled the fundraiser. But get ready. This is just the first of Walker’s problems. He is, how do I say it? Out there.
