Herschel Walker, the GOP nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia, was mocked by Barack Obama with a "thought experiment".
Obama said that Walker was one of the best running backs of all time at a campaign rally.
He wasn't the best person to represent the state according to the ex-president.
Obama imagined that people would allow Walker to do surgery because of his success on the football field.
Obama wouldn't say that.
People may have liked him as a president but they wouldn't want him on the football field.
He said that he would have to leave the field to make it happen. I can't.

Obama: "Some of you may not remember, but Herschel Walker was a heck of a football player... does that make him the best person to represent you?... let's say you're at the airport & you see Walker & you say, Hey, there's Herschel, Heisman winner. Let's have him fly the plane!" pic.twitter.com/ObyfIsOAEA

He slammed Walker as a celebrity that wants to be a politician and attacked his "issues of character," an apparent reference to allegations that Walker paid for two women to have abortions. Walker denied the allegations. He is against abortion. According to polls, Walker and Warnock are in a close race.
Walker would be so loyal to Trump that he wouldn't think about you or your needs.
