Herschel Walker's son Christian Walker, also known as the gay conservative who gives reductive takes on the Democrats for clout on his Instagram, was at it again with his unsolicited opinion on Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Walker tweeted a remarkably insensitive statement about the situation in Ukraine, where several people are thought to be dead after Putin launched an invasion earlier yesterday.
Is it bad that I don\u2019t give a damn about Ukraine since my own country\u2019s being destroyed right now— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1645549989
And since Walker invited the question "is it bad?" several people flocked to his post to tell him: unequivocally, yes. That is bad.

Yes it's bad! America has never been bombed!!— Tubs Tubson. (@Tubs Tubson.) 1645550564
You can care about both. I\u2019ve got a friend with family and friends there. It\u2019s tragic to see that people \u201cdon\u2019t give a damn\u201d about another country\u2019s citizens being at high risk of being murdered. You\u2019d sure want others to care if it were us.— Nomadic Julius (@Nomadic Julius) 1645563406
What's destroyed? Did U not get your Vente latte this morning. Was the Starbucks blown up by a missile? Drama queen! U are what is wrong with this country. When a bomb hits your house, by all mean drama away. But nothing is disturbed in your everyday life that you didn't invite.https://twitter.com/ChristianWalk1r/status/1496171213164617740\u00a0\u2026— mickeyblues!\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udc99 (@mickeyblues!\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udc99) 1645733810
Walker has consistently drawn negative attention to himself by, among other things, calling Black people "racist" and Black Lives Matter "ghetto" (Walker is Black) and wearing a $2000 sweatshirt while complaining that he paid too much money for oil at the pump.
But in this time of crisis, folks from around the internet united on the message that this was not the time to make light of a serious situation.

I am compelled to say this once again: we HAVE GOT TO fix our broken education and mental health care systems.https://twitter.com/christianwalk1r/status/1496171213164617740\u00a0\u2026— Sir Rants-A-Lot (@Sir Rants-A-Lot) 1645635511

It\u2019s not the worst thing about you— JonnyPodrido (@JonnyPodrido) 1645550188
Walker then doubled down on his POV by blaming "Democrat cities" and their crime rates, all the while insisting that he truly did not care about Ukraine:
Maybe I could care about Ukraine if I wasn\u2019t so worried about losing my life in MY OWN COUNTRY. \n\nCrime rates have tripled in some Democrat cities. I don\u2019t care about Ukraine.— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1645666048
Which, again, was roasted at 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

So what is your shining city on hill led by Republicans?— MetroRange (@MetroRange) 1645666177
Move to Ukraine then. Tell us how it is.— Hoof Hearted (@Hoof Hearted) 1645672479
Has anyone died in a Starbucks drive thru?— Rachey (@Rachey) 1645667317
Walker's father, Herschel, is challenging Raphael Warnock in the Senate race in Georgia in 2022 to wrest control of the Senate back from the Democrats.
Can the Senate afford a Senator whose own son openly dismisses the lives and well-being of 40 million Ukrainian people?
