Herschel Walker says he supports critical race theory "100%"

I've been analyzing Herschel Walker and his refusal to debate lately.
I have changed my mind after his last few statements to the media.
I used to think he didn't want people to learn about his positions on the issues because some of them may be unpopular.

But now I have come to realize that this is one of the dumbest candidates that have run for anything in this nation.
I find it likely that he has a cognitive impairment / disability.

I don't think Herschel Walker even knows what critical race theory is at all.
He never elaborates on anything that he is asked about.

It is evident that he has no knowledge about any issues.

He didn't say he supports critical race theory because he cares about racism and slavery. He said it because he has no clue what it is.

Does Walker support Critical Race Theory, the graduate-level framework that examines systemic racism in the U.S. which Republicans have turned into a derisive talking point? He didn’t say so explicitly, but Walker sure seemed enthusiastic about the concept as explained by Killer Mike.

“What you’re saying is 100% that I will support things like that...I want all kids to be educated on the history of America.”

Every republican supports CRT by that definition.

Their VA governor just said "it’s important to tell all our history" a couple of months ago. Does that mean he supports CRT (despite trying to ban it in VA public schools)?

Hasn't fighting against the "scourge" of CRT been one of the GQP's new platforms?

this experiment to attract minority voters won't matter.

I would expect the GOP to fix things so that they never lose another election.
