Herschel Walker sounds off on woke US Olympians: 'Putting down the greatest country' while representing it

Former Olympian and retired Dallas Cowboys running back Herschel Walker told "Hannity" on Monday that U.S. athletes protesting their own nation on the world stage are doing so at the "wrong place at the wrong time."

"[B]ecause we are the greatest country in the world, and we do have the right to protest, but I think it's the wrong place and wrong time, as a people we have to decide to elect the right people in the office because if you get the right people into office and hold people accountable, we wouldn't have these problems," he said. "If you read the Constitution, it talks about everything we want to fight about today -- and right now, we have leaders that won't hold people accountable so I think that's the problem we are having." Walker said the athletes protesting their own country are missing exactly what helped them get to the Olympics: the fact America is a nation built on self-determination, and that no matter a person's beginnings they have the opportunity to reach the top of their chosen field.
