Ex NFL star Herschel Walker slams Dems for ‘opposing law & order’ and tells them to ‘do their jobs’ to help the country
FORMER NFL star Herschel Walker has denounced Democrats for spouting token statements condemning violence and rioting they “don’t’ mean”.
The former Heisman winner, who is a longtime pal of Donald Trump, said the Dems needed to “start doing their job” to help the country.
Walker told Fox News the Democrats often “denounce” Black Lives Matter (BLM) related violence but “really don’t mean it”.
The NFL legend was responding to the third night of unrest in Louisville following the grand jury decision not to charge any cops with the death of Breonna Taylor.
He said: “It’s not [a] peaceful [protest] when they say you have got to disperse.
“It means you have got to go home, [but] they didn’t go home. They moved to another place.”
Walker, who addressed the Republican National Convention last month, added: “Every governor should be punished who is going to let people be injured.
“There is not a peaceful protest when you have police officers that were shot earlier.
“We need law and order right now in the United States of America.”
You can denounce it, but yet you really don’t mean it

Regardless of race, Walker said people want to live in a peaceful and orderly society and that Democrats need to “start doing their job”.
He said: “They say you can denounce violence and the riots.
“You can denounce it, but yet you really don’t mean it. If you really mean it, you have to tell the people this is unlawful.
“It’s time for these governors, it’s time for these mayors to start doing their job or they get sued by the citizens.”
Last week Walker slammed BLM as anti-American and asked football team owners “is this who you are supporting?”
He posted a video on social media after finding out that one of the movement’s founders said she was a “trained Marxist”.

It comes as footage emerged today showing a group of protestors gather around the man and urge him to support the BLM cause but he refuses to do so.
A young black man asks “does Black Lives Matter?: to the man who has been identified as business owner Fadi Faouri by a Daily Caller reporter who posted the clip online.
A woman off-screen then shouts “does Breonna Taylor matter?” several times
Faouri replied to the woman: “Does it matter? I don’t know.”
Then other BLM supporters gather around as Faouri tells them he is just there to protect his business.
Louisville police say a shop was firebombed during the disturbances as well as windows of businesses smashed and buses damaged.
