Herschel Walker: ‘I Totally Dispute That’ Joe Biden Made Criminal Justice System Fairer For Black Americans

Football great Herschel Walker said Friday that as a black American he can “totally dispute” that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has made the justice system “more fair and decent.”

“I totally dispute that, because he had 47 years to make it more fair, why hasn’t he made it fair?” Walker asked during an interview on Fox News’ “The Story with Martha MacCallum.” “Being an African-American, we’ve been promised things for years, that’s what I want people to wake up for.”

“We’ve been promised things for years that have fallen short. So now we are going to give him a chance to get it correct today … We need to wake up. I’m not sure what he is going to do but he’s not really telling the truth right now because he’s had 47 years to correct it.” (RELATED: Alveda King: Joe Biden Has Put ‘Our People In Jail’ And Said ‘Our Young Men Were Predators)

Walker said Biden’s response to a black voter at Thursday night’s town hall who asked how the former vice president could relate to black people was “insulting, very insulting” because “he didn’t answer the question” and claimed to improve the criminal justice system for the black community.

Biden has previously suggested that black voters who don’t support him “ain’t black.”

“Let’s look at his record. I looked this up … and since 1976, almost every crime deal that’s been written, Biden has some affiliation with it,” Walker claimed, noting that Biden referred to a Clinton-era crime bill in his answer but didn’t claim ownership of it.

As the senior senator from Delaware, Biden was the author of the 1994 “three strikes” crime bill. The legislation increased the penal population while critics have said it affected minorities disproportionately.

“No, Biden, you had something to do with that. So I think the American people need to know the truth and that’s all he talks about, knowing the truth … What’s going on right now is people need to vote for this country and to vote for this country, you have to vote for President Trump.”

Walker suggested Trump has actually delivered for black Americans. “Wake up, America. Prison reform was done by Donald Trump,” he said, noting the president’s support for historical black colleges. Black unemployment had also reached historic lows before the coronavirus tanked the world economy.

Imagining a second term for Donald Trump, Walker reiterated his support for the president’s “Black America Plan” and suggested he “go ahead and invest the $500 billion in African-American communities, where you empower the African-Americans. You don’t give them things, where you’re giving them fish; you teach them to fish.”

Biden continues to dominate the presidential polls, leading Trump by over 10 points nationwide and 7.3 points in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to a recent survey from FiveThirtyEight.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
