Christian Walker, the son of political candidate and retired footballer Herschel Walker, has gone viral on social media after complaining about gas prices in a designer outfit.

“OKAY THIS ISNT (sic) FUNNY ANYMORE. $98???”

The right-wing cheerleader blamed the gas price on President Joe Biden. In the same Instagram post, he said:
“While Joe takes his afternoon naps and vacations at his beach house, GAS PRICES AND INFLATION ARE SOARING.”
The social media personality also posted a video on Twitter of himself in a gas pump. Christian Walker said to the camera:
“Y’all said Joe Biden was gonna be the great unifier, this is divisive to my bank account and my hard earned money.”
He continued to mock Biden’s pledge to unify the nation after his 2020 presidential election victory. Walker added:
“Families struggling to afford to get to work, that’s unifying? That’s bringing the nation together?”
Despite Christian's words, the irony of him talking about his "hard-earned money" while wearing a $1200 Givenchy hoodie was not lost on his followers. He then went on to trend on Twitter, with a few reactions to Walker’s video reading:

In another tweet, Christian Walker stated that he worked at the cash register at Williams Sonoma while winning two world championships. He mentioned that he did this while skipping a grade. He added:
“I’ve done more in a year than you’ve done in a lifetime.”
