The Guardian goes into some detail on his speech: > **[Herschel Walker says in rambling speech he wants to be ‘werewolf, not vampire’](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/17/herschel-walker-republican-georgia-werewolf-vampire)** > > Republican Senate candidate for Georgia rehashes plot of late-night movie and considers merits of both creatures And ends with this zinger: > Walker also said the vampire in the film he watched was “looking real good in his black suit. Whoa, that sounds like Senator Warnock, doesn’t it?” How is this guy in a run-off and not just laughed out of the race? ---

> [@naita](#): > > > Walker also said the vampire in the film he watched was “looking real good in his black suit. Whoa, that sounds like Senator Warnock, doesn’t it?” I really want someone, not me, but _someone_, to note that Walker’s preference to be a werewolf means he just came out as trans. ---

Agreed, though Colin Farrell did a bang-up job in the secret. ---

I really want to see an edited video now of Fright Night with Warnock as the vampire and Walker as the hapless actor. ---

People are saying that his campaign office keeps a litterbox for him to poop in. If it’s not true, then let him prove it. ---

That we have no pictures of said litter-box proves he’s engaged in a cover-up. ---

Cover up is exactly what one is supposed to do after pooping in litter. ---

Eh, you can train a dog to go in a litter box. Now, keep in mind I said they keep it there for him to poop in, not that he does, and his campaign would rather him do that than to shit himself everytime he is on camera. ---

If Walker is defeated, the Rs can always elect him Speaker of the House! He’d be a good fit. ---
