During a rally on Tuesday, Georgia Republican senate candidate Herschel Walker shared a bizarre “parable” about a bull who got three different cows pregnant and abandoned them for three other cows.
While the story’s point was apparently about how the United States is the best country in the world, people inevitably related it to recent reports that he fathered numerous kids out of wedlock while publicly criticizing “absent fathers.”
Here’s the story, as told by the Georgia candidate:
“And they’ve been saying, ‘Something is better somewhere else.’ And I’m here to tell you it’s not. So, I been telling this little story about this bull out in the field with six cows, and three of them are pregnant. So, you know he got something goin’ on. But all he cared about is keep his nose against the fence, looking at three other cows that didn’t belong to him. Now all he had to do is eat grass. But no, no, no. He thought something was better somewhere else.”
Don't Miss
“So, he decided, ‘I want to get over there.’ So one day, he measured that fence up, and he said, ‘I think I can jump this.’ So that day came where he got back. And as he got back and as he took off runnin’, he dove over that fence, and his belly got cut up under the bottom. But as he made it onto the other side, he shook it off and got so excited about it. And he ran to the top of that hill, but when he got up there, he realized they were bulls too. So what I’m telling you, don’t think something is better somewhere else. This is the greatest country in the world today.”
Yup, Walker apparently believes that the best way to counter reports of his deepening scandals is to tell bizarre anecdotes about bulls who get multiple cows pregnant and ditch them.
Below is the video of Walker sharing the anecdote on the campaign trail with senators Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Rick Scott (R-Florida).
Enjoy.
