Politics

Walker describes himself as a "free-speech radicalist," and a Christian "conservative populist."[2][3][4][5] Walker has also been outspoken in his support for Donald Trump.[6] Walker believes that black people are "more racist" than white people, and is a supporter of building a wall between the United States and Mexico.[7][8]

Social media

As of June 2021, Walker had over 390,000 followers on Instagram. He amassed over 400,000 followers on TikTok by posting political commentary videos in the Starbucks Drive-Thru. Walker was permanently suspended from the platform in February 2021.[5]

In December of 2020, the official UCLA Twitter account tweeted "UCLA’s Dean of Students is aware of remarks in which a student uses hurtful language on social media."[9] This was widely considered a response to numerous emails the Dean had received regarding Walker's online comments. Walker later posted a video claiming UCLA was persecuting him for not "falling into [their] communistic, totalitarian politics".[10]

Personal life

Walker is openly gay and is the son of former NFL player Herschel Walker.[6]

Walker is a student at University of California, Los Angeles, having transferred from Southern Methodist University.[5] In high school, Walker participated in amateur cheerleading.[11][12]

Walker states that he lasers his whole body and wants to one day host a morning talk show, à la Wendy Williams. [13]
