Herschel Walker is not well in the head.
The GOP Senate candidate is being blasted this week for his argument against climate legislation like the Green New Deal. It wasn’t that he just opposed it, but his overall answer did not make any sense.
The former NFL player said, under the Green New Deal, clean U.S. air would ultimately be sent to China and dirty Chinese air would then contaminate American skies.
“We, in America, have some of the cleanest air and cleanest water of anybody in the world,” he told a group of supporters. “So, what we are going to do is put, from the Green New Deal, millions, billions of dollars cleaning our good air up. So, all of the sudden China and India, they put nothing to clean that situation up.”
“Since we don’t control the air, our good air decides to float over to China’s bad air,” Walker continued. “So, when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move. So, it moves over to our good air space. Then, now, we got to clean that back up.”
Twitter users responded to the Republican candidate’s remarks, roasting him for apparently misunderstanding climate policy.
