Georgia’s Republican U.S. Senate nominee Herschel Walker has fired back at Joy Reid and challenged the MSNBC host to a debate after she insulted him.
Walker faces incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) in a December 6 runoff.
During an appearance on Fox News last night, Walker accidentally said “erection” instead of “election.”

The error triggered Reid, who took to social media to say:
“The ancestors are weeping.
“And why does he always need these handlers (who can’t even stop him from embarrassing himself.)
“Just humiliating…”

Walker fired back today saying: “I’d love to debate Joy Reid.
“You know, Senator Warnock, he’s a slick, talking-smooth dressy guy, but in that debate, I took him to school because he found out a lot of things he didn’t know and I can do the same thing with Joy Reid any time of the day.
“I think people sit on TV and they talk.
“It’s easy to talk, but I’ve been a man that have worked my whole life.
“I built companies.
“I’ve signed the front of a paycheck.
“They’ve never done any of that.
“They don’t know how to do it. I do.
“And I say any day of the week she wants to debate she can show up here and I’ll debate her as well on any subject.
“She can come up with the subject, and let’s go at it.”
