Herschel Walker knocks new health care and climate law: 'Don't we have enough trees around here?'

Herschel Walker, the Republican Senate nominee in Georgia, criticized the spending provisions in the newly passed health care and climate law, including money allocated for an urban forestry program which he dismissed as unnecessary.

"[A] lot of money it's going to trees. Don't we have enough trees around here?" Walker said at a Republican Jewish Committee event near Atlanta, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

In a follow-up tweet Monday evening, Walker doubled down on his criticism, directing it toward his Democratic opponent, Sen. Raphael Warnock, and President Joe Biden.
