Herschel Walker said on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday he’d pit his résumé against former President Barack Obama’s “any time of the day.” That would be the same Obama who became the first Black president of the United States after distinguished turns as a U.S. senator and civil rights attorney following Harvard Law School.

Walker, who Obama acknowledged was a great football player but said was unqualified for elected office, probably won’t be hurt by his stadium-sized ego.
Despite zero experience in government, nonsensical comments on issues, accusations of paying for two women to have abortions in contradiction of his anti-abortion platform, and reportedly lying about law enforcement jobs, Walker is in a tight race with Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in next week’s election, according to a New York Times poll.
But that doesn’t mean the internet forgives inflated self-worth.
Here’s a Twitter sampling:
His football resume or his abortion resume?

Herschel, even before Obama was the first African American POTUS, he went to Harvard Law School, graduated Magna Cum Laude, won election as President of the Harvard Law Review, became an Attorney with a civil rights law firm AND a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School.

Walker's resume - a padded mess of fiction & lies
He was a great athlete - terrific football player -
he has no experience in government - the end.— Cathy Coleman ☮️ (@CathyJoeGPT) November 2, 2022

Maybe he is right, but Obama's would be real and Walker's fiction.

Herschel was his HS valedictorian. And an honors graduate of UGA. Went on to law enforcement, including a stent at FBI. Was also a Space Marine. And single handedly marched on Mordor and hogtied Sauron. For real.

CORRECTION:A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Walker held a slim lead in the New York Times poll.
