Dave Chappelle mercilessly roasts Herschel Walker on Saturday Night Live

Herschel Walker is trying to become a United States Senator representing the state of Georgia. The former NFL running back has been the target of criticism throughout his campaign. While hosting an episode of Saturday Night Live, comedian Dave Chappelle took a shot at the Republican Senate candidate during his monologue and said:

“I don’t want to speak badly of him, because he’s Black, but I have to admit, he’s, um, observably stupid. And even when he's not talking, his mouth be open a little bit. Like... he’s the kind of guy who looks like he thinks before he makes a move on Tic-Tac-Toe.”

Chappelle isn't the only well-known public figure to criticize Walker. Former President Barack Obama shared his thoughts about him during a recent rally in Georgia. Speaking on the Heisman Trophy winner's qualifications to be a Senator, Obama said:

“Now there are a lot of young people here, yes, that makes me excited. Some of you may not remember, but Herschel Walker was a heck of a football player,” Obama said. “In college, he was amazing. One of the best running backs of all time."

He added:

"But here is the question: Does that make him the best person to represent you in the US Senate? Does that make him equipped to weigh in on the critical decisions about our economy and our foreign policy and our future?”

Despite various criticisms, the 60-year-old former NFL star is still in the running to be representing Georgia in the Senate.

Herschel Walker and the incumbent candidate head to a runoff after a tight race

Herschel Walker and incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock will face off once more on December 6. Neither candidate received the required 50 percent to win the election earlier this month. According to an early exit poll, voters in the state of Georgia are divided when it comes to the most crucial traits in a candidate.

Here, 36 percent noted that they desire a candidate who possesses their values. In that same poll, 32 percent commented that a candidate's honesty and integrity are the most important to them. Earlier this month, a woman alleged that the 12-year NFL veteran paid for her to get an abortion. He denied the allegations.

We'll have to wait and see if the former Georgia Bulldogs star can add US Senator to his resumé.
