Football legend Herschel Walker knocked it out of the park during his RNC Speech supporting President Trump. That put a target on his back with liberals who responded by calling him racial slurs like ‘Uncle Tom’ and invited an attack by liberal Hollywood’s spokesman Alyssa Milano. But Herschel Walker also received support from his son and some more level-headed celebrities.
President Trump Is Not A Racist
Herschel Walker has known President Trump for 37 years as a personal friend.
The Heisman trophy winner explained that friendship and Trump’s record on race relations. He showed a softer side of the tweeting President with a family story.
Walker took Trump’s children to Walt Disney World. They made a fun memory when the future president rode with them all on “It’s A Small World” in a suit.
Walker takes great offense to people who claim President Trump is a racist and that is what has him in hot water with liberals pushing that narrative.

“It hurts my soul to hear the terrible names that people called Donald. The worst one is racist,” the football standout said. “I take it as a personal insult that people would think I’ve had a 37-year friendship with a racist.
“People who think that don’t know what they’re talking about. Growing up in the Deep South, I’ve seen racism up close,” Walker continued. “I know what it is. And it isn’t Donald Trump.”
Walker’s pro-America speech can be watched in the tweeted video below.

Some people were upset that a prominent Black man speaking who doesn’t automatically support the Democrats. Herschel Walker’s speech did not sit well with them as he doesn’t subscribe to their groupthink.
Alyssa Milano Takes on Herschel Walker
Actress and Twitter bomb thrower Alyssa Milano led the charge against Walker. She expressed disappointment in him in a tweet in which she appeared to “blacksplain” to the Black man.
As a white liberal actress, Milano believes she is more qualified to speak on social justice than a conservative Black man.
As a sports fan I’m so sad to see @HerschelWalker say that Trump is a champion of social justice. #TrumpChaos #LiarInChief #RNCConvention

The “Who’s the Boss” star wasn’t the only one offended that Herschel has a mind of his own. Uncle Tom was trending and Walker was a definite target.

But there were also counter voices out there support Walker. Milano’s fellow 1980’s sitcom star Scott Baio showed up to cheer Herschel Walker on!

As did country music superstar John Rich of “Big & Rich” fame. Rich had a bit of a mic drop moment with his tweet, “Herschel Walker is the boss of all bosses. The end.”

Herschel Walker’s Son Christian Backs His Dad’s Support For Trump
But, most importantly, Herschel Walker’s son Christian had his dad’s back.
Herschel Walker was not concerned about being called names by leftists. And it’s clear that he raised his son to come to also think for himself and speak his own mind.
Christian Walker tweeted his support of his dad after the speech. The younger Walker wasn’t concerned with the backlash.
My dad Herschel Walker, a southern black man from Georgia, is the greatest testament to President Trump’s character and to the fact that he is the furthest thing from a racist.
BEST SPEAKER OF THE NIGHT @HerschelWalker

Herschel and Christian Walker aren’t alone. More Black Americans are expressing their support for President Donald Trump.
This doesn’t sit well with Democrats like Alyssa Milano who take the Black vote for granted. Expect them to get louder as the election approaches.
