Fat former President Trump on Wednesday posted he’s “asked Congressman Mark Walker to join my Campaign team to work with Faith Groups and Minority Communities, and he has agreed to immediately do so. During his tenure in the US House, Mark led on the FUTURE ACT, launched the HBCU paid internship program on Capitol Hill, and organized the largest ever fly-in for HBCU Chancellors for meetings with our Nation’s top leaders. Congressman Walker is also the only Republican in Congress to have won the prestigious UNCF President’s List Award, and delivered the Commencement Address at one of our Nation’s great HBCUs. He is very well suited for this important work” and some other shit that Donald is pretty unlikely to have written himself.

It’s possible this is some kind of bribe since Walker, the former North Carolina 6th District Congressman from 2015 to 2021, is about to face Trump’s endorsed candidate Addison McDowell in a runoff for the nomination, which is the general since there’s no Dem running in the 6th. McDowell, a lobbyist acolyte of NRCC Chair Richard Hudson, came in first at 26.1 percent, just ahead of Walker’s 24.1 percent in the first round five-way, so Walker may have the edge in the May 14th runoff given his name ID. Whether this means Walker’s actually going to step back from the race so Trump doesn’t have to take yet another L on his overrated endorsement record is not clear yet.

Either way there are some problems here. Well really just one in that Walker is white and it might come across as a little, uh, condescending to Black people of faith that Walker is Trump’s chosen ambassador to them. Like Tim Scott wasn’t available to do more or less the same shit he already does but have some kind of title attached to it? If not, there aren’t any other Black MAGAchurch pastors out there who want to step into the role? There has to be at least 12 of them.
