Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel mocked Herschel Walker as too dumb to understand basic math and labeled him “unintelligible” in a recent monologue.
The ABC host initially suggested a staffer would have to explain to Walker what a runoff was because he was too slow to understand how the percentages in Georgia election law work.
“Imagine being the staffer who had to explain that one to Herschel Walker,” he joked.
Imitating said staffer he said, “‘You got 48% which is less than 50%.'”
“‘Who?'” he replied, emulating Walker as confused.

Jimmy Kimmel Says Herschel Walker ‘Unintelligible’
As if that weren’t enough, Jimmy Kimmel’s bit then flat-out referenced Herschel Walker as “unintelligible.”
“Despite the fact that he didn’t get more votes than his opponent,” Kimmel told the mostly white audience, “Herschel remained unfazed and unintelligible.”
He then took joy in the fact that a runoff means another month of Walker on the campaign trail, something he referred to as “a gift from the comedy Gods.”
Why? Because he talks like a black southerner???
Racist statement by Kimmel, according to the rules liberals live by.
But they don’t apply their rules when used against a conservative.https://t.co/Lciq0gos0X— CivilRants (@OurBusinessHero) November 11, 2022
It was a line of attack from a marginal comedian who once used blackface to mock black athletes. A line of attack which would have ruined most conservative personalities if they tried doing the same to a black Democrat.
Is Kimmel’s Attack Racist?
This isn’t the first time Jimmy Kimmel has described Herschel Walker as “dumb” and “so stupid.”
And the faux comedian has a history of taking racist jabs at black athletes. Just ask Hall of Fame basketball player Karl Malone.
Kimmel did multiple skits in which he mocked NBA legend and member of the famed Dream Team by donning blackface and proceeding to butcher the English language in an attempt to portray ‘The Mailman’ as ignorant.
In one skit Kimmel as Malone talks “about white people getting deducted by alien.” He sports blackface, a black bald cap, and apparently spray for his arms and legs.
In another episode, Kimmel speaks as Malone promoting Mardi Gras.
“Ya’ll love them naked boobies, so Karl Malone tell you about Mardi Gras in New Orleans,” he says.

Kimmel has since apologized for the skits and said they were ‘impersonations’ that he finds “embarrassing” because he has “evolved and matured.”
But his consistent attacks against Herschel Walker are only missing the makeup at this point. They are racist not just by the ‘if a Republican ever did this’ aspect, but by the fact that he has a pattern of looking down on black athletes playing to his white audience.
Walker, however, continues to handle himself with class despite the attacks.
MSNBC contributor Elie Mystal this past summer called him “clearly unintelligent” and “what Republicans want from their negroes.”
Walker replied by suggesting his critics “need Jesus” in their lives.
My response to @MSNBC and the man who called me the N word. @ReverendWarnock and the left wing crazies believe America is a fundamentally bad country full of racist people. But you and I know this is a great country, full of good people. #gasen pic.twitter.com/JCDsQr19Jh

Jimmy black face Kimmel. Some say he is a comedian, all I see is big loud mouth.
Kimmel is an ignorant racist. I do not understand why he is still on Late Night. Totally disgusting.
Jimmy Kimmel’s comedic abilities are non-existent, but he’s still a better comedian than he is a person.
Democrats have more respect for their voters than that. Democrats have more sense than to draft an unintelligent, unintelligible black shill from one state to run in another. That is why you will not see any comedians talking about unintelligent, black Democrats. If they were that dull, then they’d be Republicans.
Jimmy kimmel is smart on liberal talking points and stuff he can read off a que card but have you ever listened to him talk about anything else he does not have a script to talk about? Kimmel is not a smart person, he cant write funny jokes those are wrote for him and odds are if he did not get handed jay leno’s job because he is a liberal he would most likely be asking people if they want fries with their order or if he can make that a combo meal.kimmel is a waste of skin he is a herpe sore on the anus of america. Kimmel is nothing more then an infected skin tag on the armpit of the world, hollywood.
Very well said. I do not like that man. I have never watched his show. He is a disgusting human being if you can even call him that.
Best watch your mouth Jimmy, your already on the chop block and you should realize, Herschel can stand on the 50 yd line and throw you, one handed, over either goal post….and I’ll bet he handles his biz better than you do….
Jimmy who?
Well jimmy Kimmel is a ln idiot leftist who wouldn’t know what’s right if it hit him in the face…..the only person that’s dumb and unintelligible is PAs new senator….John fetterman who can’t even understand how to read a teleprompter
