Georgia Senate
candidate Herschel Walker misspoke ‘election’ as ‘erection’ during an
appearance on Fox News on Tuesday night.

Walker was appearing alongside
Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, two serving GOP senators for the Fox News
broadcast. At one point during his appearance, he intended to say what appeared
“this election is for the people.” But, somehow ended up saying, “This erection
is for the people”.  “This election
is about more than Herschel Walker. This erection is about the people,”
Walker said.

The unexpected mispronunciation
quickly went viral as trolls trended this moment. “If Herschel loses, will he say his
erection was stolen?”, tweeted liberal commentator Ron
Filipkowski, referencing the commonly used election-denying tactics by defeated Trump-backed
candidates.

One Twitter user wrote, “Every time he
votes, he has another kid”. “I like how Graham and Cruz are just sitting
there nodding along. Desperation at its finest.”, wrote another.

Talking about erections for the people, Walker’s campaign has made
quite the headlines due to rampant lies about his sex life and family. He
had previously lied about the number of children he has which later turned out
to be a whole bunch of secret kids with whom he barely had any contact. He also
claimed to be anti-abortion but it turned out he had paid for at least one, and
wanted to pay for several more.
