During an interview with Fox News this week, Herschel Walker was asked about former President Obama's recent comments about Walker not being qualified for office. Walker rattled off a list of his mediocre accomplishments outside of football, and then said that he's willing to put his resume up against Obama's any time of the day. Be careful what you wish for, Herschel, because that's a contest you stand no chance of winning, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Is, uh, the pres, the former president of the United States, went directly after you. I want to get your reaction. Let's listen together.

Some of you may not remember, but Herser Walker was a heck of a football player. But, but here's the question. Does that make him the best person to represent you in the US Senate? Does that make him equipped? Yeah. To weigh in on the critical decisions about our economy and our foreign policy and our future.

Saw anyone who called you a celebrity, what's your reaction, Him going after you? Have you ever met him before?

I've never made him before. And if I'm a celebrity, I would've met him. Cause all he did was hang out with celebrities and he forgot to tell people I created one of the larger minor own food service companies in the United States of America. So I do sign in front of a check, which he's probably never done. And, uh, except when he was in the White House. And then, uh, Senator one is never done either. So I created businesses. I sit on a public traded board. So those are things I've done outside of football, but my resume against his resume, I've put it up any time of the day, and I think I've done well.

Republican senate candidate Herschel Walker this week during an appearance on Fox News issued one of the most idiotic challenges to former President Barack Obama that I think have ever seen in my life. Here's a little bit of backstory. This past weekend, of course, Barack Obama headed over to Georgia, did some campaign rallies, trying to get some Democrats energized. And of course he took a swipe at Herschel Walker when he said in college, Mr. Walker was amazing, one of the best running backs of all time. But here is the question, does that make him the best person to represent you in the US Senate? Does that make him equipped to weigh in on the critical decisions about our economy and our foreign policy and our future? There is very little evidence that he has taken any interest, bothered to learn anything about, or displayed any kind of inclination towards public service or volunteer work, or helping people in any way. Very spot on Critique by Barack Obama. I agree with every bit of it. So Herschel Walker, of course, was given the opportunity to come on Fox News, the most watched Cable news network in the country to refute what Obama said. And so here is what Herschel Walker had to say.

I never met Mr. Obama before, and if I'm a celebrity, I would've met him because all he did was hang out with celebrities. He forgot to tell people I created one of the largest minority owned food service companies in the us. So I do sign the front of a check, which he's probably never done except when he was in the White House. And that Senator Raphael Warnock has never done either. Let's get one thing straight before I continue here. That is, that is not true about your business. So just so everybody knows, you're lying about the size, you're lying about the scope as you have with all of your other businesses, but he continues. And here's where the challenge comes. So I created businesses. I sit on a publicly traded board. So those are things I've done outside of football, but right. Uh, but my resume against his resume, I'd put it up any time of the day.
