'It's not that hard': Herschel Walker's ‘erection’ gaffe provides fodder for some 'stiff' internet jokes

'Well, first of all, this election is about more than Herschel Walker. This erection is about the people,' Herschel Walker said on live TV at a campaign

ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Donald Trump-backed Republican, Herschel Walker, who is ready to face off against Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in Georgia’s runoffs for the US Senate in December, made a hilarious slip-up while campaigning with Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham. As of now, Walker's campaign is marred by scandals and accusations including that he fathered multiple secret children, lied about his credentials and pressured two ex-partners into getting abortions. 

Speaking to Fox News, the 60-year-old football player turned candidate slipped up big time while saying that the election was for the people. Instead he said, "Well, first of all, this election is about more than Herschel Walker. This erection is about the people." The internet wasted no time in roasting Walker, who was seen in the video with Cruz and Graham, who quitely nodded as he continued. He's the reason why the word "erection" is trending on Twitter.

Former National Finance Chair of Draft Biden, Jon Cooper, tweeted, "Who else thinks it’s hilarious that both Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham nod their heads in agreement when Herschel Walker says 'this erection is about the people.'" Another user tweeted, "Imagine paying $44B to buy a social media platform just to show the world your massive erection for Donald Trump."

One user tweeted, "Herschel Walker: 'First of all, it’s not about me. This erection is about the people of Georgia.' This is actually a real quote." Another user trolled Walker for being an excitable boy and wrote, "They're now up to two chaperones. That can't be good. Walker can't be trusted to be interviewed alone, even on Fox. He's an excitable boy. Though both Cruz and Lindsey are agreeing that the erection is about the people."

One user trolled Walker, Ted Cruz, and Lindsey Graham and tweeted, "Erection?! THIS is why Cruz and Graham NEVER let Walker speak. Notice how both Cruz and Graham look towards Walker after he talks about the erection." One more user wrote, "Seems like a fairly stiff statement to me. Thank goodness he's got those two nuts on either side of him. There's your republican party people. Two nuts and an erection."
