“Too Much Money Is Spent On Protecting Trees”: Herschel Walker, Former Pro Bowl RB And National Champion Turned Republican Nominee, Makes Baffling Claim On Climate Change

Former American football running back and national champion, Herschel Walker is vocal about issues surrounding public importance. The Georgia Senate candidate believes that a large amount of money is being spent on the protection of trees. He also spoke in length against the new climate health care bill, by US president Joe Biden. The 60-year-old Walker is a Republican nominee, contesting for the 2022 US Senate Election, to be held in Georgia on November 8.

Walker made his stance clear on the Climate Health care and Taxes Bill, signed into law by Joe Biden on August 16. “They (Democrats) continue to try to fool you like they are helping you out. But they’re not. They’re not helping you out because a lot of money, it’s going to trees,” Walker said, as per a clip of his remarks shared with The Hill. Walker added that spending should instead be on law enforcement.
