Senate Candidate Herschel Walker Says Trans Kids Can't Go to Heaven

With just weeks to go before the U.S. midterm elections, Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker, who is looking to represent the state of Georgia, is polling neck and neck with his opponent, Sen. Raphael Warnock — and needs to lock in votes from his conservative base soon. Depressingly, he seems to be bullying trans kids to make that happen.

At a rally in Calhoun, Georgia this week, Walker, who is the father of conservative viral video star Christian Walker, told the crowd that in his Christian opinion, trans kids wouldn’t be able to enter heaven because, for some reason, Jesus wouldn’t recognize them.

“I want the young kids to know, you go to heaven. Jesus may not recognize you. Because he made you a boy. He made you a girl. Why are we talking about things like that?” Walker bloviated, saying a woman is “from the rib of a man” per the Biblical story of Adam and Eve.

“They’re trying to tell you right now that this is normal. But I’m here to tell you this is not normal,” Walker added. All of this was to show support for measures banning trans students from school sports teams that correspond with their gender.

God probably doesn't like people who play God - least of all, presumptuous knuckle-draggers like yourself.

Really, who could possibly expect someone who has committed as many sins as walker to understand what would or wouldn't keep someone out of heaven (if it even exists - just sayin).

He clearly has no clue, or couldn't care less.

Herschel says he is a Christian and some people can help who they are. How inhumane and unchristian to attack kids who are trans.

I work as a sub and I have encountered many children who identify more as girls who are boys and visa versa and they are just who they are.

we were taught that all children go to heaven. How cruel do you have to be to believe that some children will burn for eternity merely because of who they are?

When I was dragged to the local weekly indoctrination, the ministers and Sunday School teachers told us all the time how the devil was going to get us for a long list of typical kid traits or things we did.

Terrorizing kids for the faith is what they do. It's what they've always done.
