Herschel Walker Claims His 'Resume' Is Better Than President Barack Obama's

The former NFL player responds to Obama’s comments on the campaign trail.

Herschel Walker is responding to President Barack Obama saying the Trump-endorsed candidate is not qualified to be the U.S. Senator of Georgia.

In case you missed it, while on the campaign trail in Georgia last week, Obama said, “Some of you may not remember, but Herschel Walker was a heck of a football player. But here’s the question: Does that make him the best person to represent you in the U.S. Senate? Does that make him equipped to weigh in on the critical decisions about our economy and our foreign policy and our future?”

Walker responded on Fox News: “He forgot to tell people I created one of the largest minority-owned food service companies in the United States of America, so I do sign the front of a check, which he’s probably never done except when he was in the White House.”

Walker did not specify his “food service” company, but Renaissance Man Food Services is supposedly a food distribution center founded by Walker. Back in June, The New York Times described Renaissance Man Food Services as a “pattern of exaggerations, half-truths and outright falsehoods that dates back to at least the 1990s.”

Walker continued, “I created businesses, I sit on a public traded board. So those are things I’ve done outside of football. Put my resume against his resume – I put it up any time of the day and I think I’ve done well.”

President Barack Obama is the first Black president of the Harvard Law Review, a former Senator and a two-term president, who won the popular vote twice. As president, Obama saved the economy from another Great Depression, slashed the Black unemployment rate nearly in half, and passed one of the most important pieces of legislation of the 21st century, the Affordable Care Act.

According to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution/UGA survey released Oct. 21, Senator Raphael Warnock and Walker each held 45 percent of the support from state respondents who say they plan to vote in the Nov. 8 election.
