No, New York Times writer Ian Prasad Philbrick did not call Herschel Walker, as I was called by a Los Angeles Times writer, “the black face of white supremacy”—but Philbrick came close.
About the Georgia Senate race between Senator Raphael Warnock and challenger Walker, Philbrick this morning wrote: “For a lot of African Americans, Walker puts on display a lot of the worst stereotypes that white conservatives in the South harbor toward them: that his talents are only in athletics, and that he is, in his own telling, ‘not that smart.’ If a candidate as controversial as Walker wins, the takeaway will be that if you have enough star power, speak the language of the party’s base, and have Trump’s backing, you too can be in the Senate.
