Herrera and Porto teammate Jesus “Tecatito” Corona both left Liga MX for Europe at relatively young ages.

The running back turned Georgia politician said parents should be “very vigilant” on Halloween in response. Walker was speaking to supporters in Dalton, Whitfield County, when he made the unverified claim. Speaking on an outdoor stage, with his campaign bus behind, the Trump-endorsed candidate said: “Halloween is right around the corner and now the people of China and Mexico are dressing fentanyl up to look like candy. “So, I want you to be very vigilant when you’re taking your kids on Halloween, because there’s a new war in town and that war is China, because China don’t like us....

Walker will face Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate runoff on December 6 in a race that polls suggest will be extremely close. In video shared to Twitter by PatriotTakes, which describes itself as “researchers monitoring and exposing right-wing extremism,” Walker told a crowd that he supported putting up a wall to secure the border with Mexico. “A wall do work,” he said. “When you got a wall around your house, people don’t… yeah, but they can get in....
