Georgia Republican US Senate hopeful Herschel Walker called off a Texas fundraiser Wednesday after an event organizer displayed a group of syringes arranged to form a swastika in her Twitter profile picture to protest vaccine mandates.
The fundraiser had been scheduled to take place Saturday at the suburban Dallas home of movie producer Bettina Sofia Viviano-Langlais.
“Herschel is a strong friend of Israel and the Jewish community and opposes hatred and bigotry of all forms,” campaign spokesperson Mallory Blount said. “Despite the fact that the apparent intent behind the graphic was to condemn government vaccine mandates, the symbol used is very offensive and does not reflect the values of Herschel Walker or his campaign.

Not sure why we can’t all be equally offended by the Swastika and all the other offending symbols.

I'm offended by a Virus that was used to implement Mail In Voting and therefore stolen elections . The symbolism of tyranny is spot on.

Jewish groups need to get over people making legitimate Nazi/Holocaust comparisons.
Notice how no one complains when the left calls US Nazis.

It’s anti-Nazi so Walker just signaled pro-Nazism. However, it’s obvious he didn’t realize he was doing that.

when are people going to learn that using a swastika or a yellow Shield of David is not going to win them any points in the credibility department?

Jewish groups need to get over people making legitimate Nazi/Holocaust comparisons. So what makes something a 'legitimate Nazi/Holocaust comparison'?

Forced medical experimentation with no rational explanation is sure one in my book.
