| Description | Donald Trump’s and Mitch McConnell’s candidate for the U.S. Senate from Georgia, football legend Herschel Walker, doesn’t have much of a profile on major issues of public policy, having never run for public office or participated in major public venues other than Celebrity Apprentice. So far, his Senate campaign has been a tightly wrapped package. As the front-runner for the Republican nomination, Walker has declined to debate opponents and has limited public and media appearances to very friendly audiences. But he did make news at one of those softball encounters over the past weekend, an interview with Pastor Chuck Hill of Sugar Creek Church in suburban Atlanta. As an amazed Amanda Terkel of HuffPost reported, Walker waxed philosophical about the theory of evolution:
Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker cast doubt on the theory of evolution in recent remarks, saying the fact that apes and humans coexist disproves accepted science.
“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? … If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it.” |
