Barack Obama's Werewolf Jokes Appear to Have Hurt Herschel Walker's Feelings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker fails to see the humor in former president Barack Obama’s jokes about Walker’s preference to be a werewolf rather than a vampire.

Appearing on Fox News, the candidate claimed Obama did not “tell the whole story” when joking about comments Walker made in November where he said, “I don’t know if you know, but vampires are some cool people, are they not? But let me tell you something that I found out: A werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that. So, I don’t want to be a vampire anymore. I want to be a werewolf.”

The remarks prompted Obama to joke this past week at a campaign event for Sen. Raphael Warnock ahead of Georgia’s Dec. 6 run-off election. “Since the last time I was here, Mr. Walker has been talking about issues of great importance to the people of Georgia, like whether it’s better to be a vampire or a werewolf,” Obama said. “This is a debate that I must confess I once had myself … when I was seven.”

If Walker was dissatisfied with Obama ribbing him, he likely won’t be happy with Saturday Night Live’s portrayal of him either. The show made a mockery of Walker over the weekend.

1. LOL!!!!

he just looks so STUPID!!!

[hatrack]

2. "looks"?

[CatWoman]

9. LOL!!!!

[Blue Owl]

3. Unfair -- Obama left out Walker's views on leprechauns and unicorns

[Just A Box Of Rain]

4. What better for Walker to be talking about at this stage in the campaign

but vampires and werewolves?

[yellowcanine]

5. He should be thankful Obama didn't point out that he is batshit crazy.

[ThoughtCriminal]

6. When I was 7

And others were debating whether they wanted to be Batman or the Green Hornet, I knew it was cooler to be Kato.

Maybe I should run for the Senate.

7. Pres. O is so cool and funny when he wants to be, and his timing is so impeccable...

he could've been a stand-up comedian if he had went that route.

I'm glad he kept to politics and saved his routines for the campaign trail and the WH Correspondence dinners (remember those jokes about trump?)

[MissMillie]

8. The whole story?

Well, I don't have any money to bet, but if I did, I'd bet that whatever 'whole story" he's talking about is likely to do more damage.

Better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and confirm it.

[Ohio Joe]

10. That was exactly my thought...

Come on Walker… Tell us the rest

[muriel_volestrangler]

11. In context, it was still nonsensical

Try and convince yourself this is a meaningful thing for a political candidate to say: https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/dec/01/ad-watch-the-context-of-herschel-walkers-comments/

12. obama ridiculed trump. how did that turn out nt

[jcgoldie]

13. What a ridiculous response

So I guess the fact that 1/2 the country embraced a narcissistic racist was somehow Obama's fault? And he shouldn't make fun of the ridiculous things Herschel Walker says when he is campaigning for his opponent? Jesus christ.

[Kaleva]

14. About a 1/3 of the country voted for TFG. Many did not vote ....

and some who did vote, voted 3rd party.


Out of that third were Republicans who vote R no matter who and don't necessarily have a fondness for TFG himself.

[jcgoldie]

15. yes you are correct

My point stands that the implication that Obama's ribbing of Trump at the correspondents dinner was somehow responsible for Trump's political career is simply absurd.

[msongs]

16. not absurd if one is a revenge driven narcissist

[BannonsLiver]

25. Imagine thinking this is somehow a relevant point and then stating it

🤦

[FakeNoose]

17. When this is over, someone needs to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk

... with Herschel Walker.

It's going be painful, but someone needs to tell him the truth. And some one needs to make him listen.

[Mr.Bill]

19. I posted awhile back

that possibly, if he was willing, Jim Brown could be the person to talk to Walker. He is known to have done this with other celebrities. Richerd Pryor talked about him doing it with him. Plus there's the connection they both have with football and fame.

Probably too late now, though. Many have already voted.

[FakeNoose]

20. Well he's going to lose the election, that goes without saying

What I meant is that Mr. Walker has no understanding how he's being used and made a fool of by the Repukes.

Someone he trusts needs to break it to him gently so he doesn't go off the deep end.

The story was that before he decided to run for Senator he talked with his family. Herschel's entire family got to vote on whether he should enter politics and run for Senator. The entire family voted NO, but he ignored them all.

[Mr.Bill]

22. I agree with you totally,

especially your first sentence. I just think Jim Brown would be a good person to do what you are talking about. It's just a shame no one did it a while ago.

[KentuckyWoman]

18. Obama can cut a person in half with 2 sentences.

I absolutely love his sense of humor and ability to deliver.

[tinrobot]

21. A werewolf can kill a vampire? That still sounds like a 7 year old.

Keep digging, Herschel.

[Mr.Bill]

23. Remember he's talking to an audience many of whom actually believe in the coming

of a Zombie Apocolypse.

[hatrack]

24. Kind of reminds me of this famous movie debate . . .

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. A new poll shows 82% of Walkders fellow werewolves plan to vote for Raphael Warnock on Tuesday.

27. Well, maybe Obama should call defeated Senate hopeful Herschel Walker once it's called for Warnock

And tell him "Fuck your feelings"
