In fairness to Walker his complete ignorance in this area probably isn't any different from most of his political opponents. And I'm sure he made other blunders. But an understanding between type 1 and type 2 diabetes would have been nice.

Stay in your lane, Herschel. We are only weeks away from the finish line.

As a person with Type 2 diabetes I agree with him. I have to eat right and watch my carbs.

He said he wants to reduce the cost and people should eat right.

Both are correct.

WTH is wrong about suggesting a healthy diet?

Journalists are the new BULLIES.
Can’t you just hear this little twerp, oooooo, you said people shouldn’t worry about getting their medicine.

It’s enough to make you puke.

He is right, but only in the initial sense of acuiring Type-2 diabetes, as often acquired along with oebesity/overweight conditions. After it is acquired along with obesity, ending obesity does not always represent a cure, continued medication can still be needed - depending on the individual.

My grocery costs keep going up while the Dims make you argue if Hershel knows diabetes. That’s the point he was making — why argue of the cost of insulin, which impacts few people, while high grocery costs impact everybody.

And, this is from HuffPo?

Why believe anything from them? Why even believe that they have ever met with HWalker?

That’s not exactly what Walker said. Here is the quote:

Warnock said, “[Walker] said he would not have voted for the Inflation Reduction Act and I think he should tell the people of Georgia why he thinks they should have expensive insulin and why the pharmaceutical companies should be able to charge us whatever they like.” Walker bit back quickly, saying, “I believe in reducing insulin, but at the same time, you’ve got to eat, right?” He then said, “you have to get food prices down and you’ve got to get gas down, so they can go get insulin.”

That’s not what he said. What he said is that before insulin will do any good you’ve got to eat right and with the cost of food at these levels that difficult to do.

This was laudable debate performance?

Not hardly.

Ignorance can be OK. You can be ignorant without being stupid.

You can also be ignorant because you are stupid.

Some people are just cognitively impaired and can’t help being both ignorant and stupid.

Walker has lived long enough he shouldn’t be willingly ignorant and still open his mouth.
