Former football player and current GOP candidate Herschel Walker says he never heard Donald Trump claim that democrats stole the 2020 presidential election.
Walker sat down for an interview with Atlanta-based news station WAGA-TV this week. During his sit-down with Russ Spencer, Walker maintained that the media dubbed the election “stolen.”
“I think reporters said that. I don’t know whether President Trump said that. He’s never said that to me,” Walker explained.
Donald Trump and his supporters have been heard stating that the election was stolen on several occasions. Spencer continued to press Walker, pointing out that GOP candidates who receive an endorsement from major political figures usually share the same beliefs. In this case, Spencer wanted to know if Walker himself believed the election was rigged in favor of president Joe Biden.
“Everyone knows that something happened in the election,” Walker said before adding that he would “disagree” with Trump’s claims if he didn’t believe them. Still, it appeared that he was unsure of exactly what took place with the 2020 election or how to properly verbalize that without upsetting his biggest co-signer.
“Do you know what happened? I think something happened. I don’t know what it was—but something happened because people are angry,” the Republican Georgia Senate hopeful said.
Last year, Trump predicted that Herschel Walker would be “very, very hard to beat” during his GOP run.
