    Probably did a mock debate. Herschel is a textbook case of a useful idiot.

    Hershel Walker attended University of Georgia but did not graduate despite claiming he did.

    Warnock attended Morehouse College, from which he graduated cum laude in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. He then earned Master of Divinity, Master of Philosophy, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Union Theological Seminary, a school affiliated with Columbia University.

    Herschel trying to appeal to the “common man.” Bold strategy - set the bar super low and hope you reach it.

    Here’s a response to Walker’s “I’m not that smart, I’m just a country boy” act:

    “Mr. Walker, I believe you when you say that you’re not smart. But intelligence has nothing to do with the size of your hometown or the quality of your suit. You are the personification of a game being played by Georgia Republicans: a wager that any Black Republican — in your case, an empty intellectual vessel — can beat the Black Democrat, a man who is thoroughly qualified and utterly decent.

    “Walker is Georgia Republicans’ attempt to undermine the image of Black competence, by making a mockery of Black people, by replacing a thinker with a toady.”

    Charles M. Blow, NYT

    Well this seems big, if true.

    ‘Pro-Life’ Herschel Walker Paid for Girlfriend’s Abortion

    It should be noted that his son also just basically blasted him for this:

    The comments from his son are probably a bigger deal than the abortion. He can argue that he has changed since he paid for the abortion but the son’s comments would show that he hasn’t. Was going to lose anyway so not exactly a game changer. I didn’t follow the Georgia primaries but there had to be someone better qualified.

    Yikes. So is Christian ready to drop the right wing charade or what? The other day he was praising DeSantis. He's been trolling on his father's behalf since Herschel launched this clownshow campaign.

    Recent Christian Walker tweet:

    I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us. You’re not a “family man” when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence.

    The ever more despicable RNC is trying to hang this around Christian's head for being troubled.

    There is never a basement with these people.

    When you and your mom have to run and hide from your father because he's threatened to kill you ... that could make you troubled.

    Top Republicans and GOP groups are sticking by Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign in Georgia after a report emerged a day earlier saying that the GOP nominee paid for a girlfriend’s abortion in 2009.

    The two leading Republican groups involved in Senate races, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Senate Leadership Fund, both announced on Tuesday that they are not backing off and will continue to press forward in Georgia to unseat Sen. Raphael Warnock (D). They both argued that the latest revelation is nothing more than a distraction and laid blame at the feet of the media.

    It's difficult to see a party that once claimed to be "Conservative", that used to fight for Western Democracy and the spread of Western Civilization, that used to be led by well educated intellectuals, that had a good grasp of economic, domestic and foreign policy, be completely over-run by thugish, uneducated, perverted, unscrupulous, hacks that care NOTHING about the ideological, economic, domestic or foreign policy history or direction of the United States.

    I will say it again, I would happily vote for conservatives that hold the values that the republican party, not so long ago, promoted and represented.

    The GOP apostates currently in charge are a disgrace to the constituition, our forefathers, our military and all the men and women that made this country great.

    They have allied themselves with totalitarians, are against science, medicine and academics, and have a mantra of violence and "take what I want" at the expense of others.

    Yes, I understand that the Democratic Party is broken also, but plunging this country into a violent revolution, and doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin and other totalitarian types, will be an "end" of the American Experiment, and an absolute tragedy for Human Civilization.

    Because the media shouldn't report negative things about Republicans, is that it?

    What a contrast that when the news came out about Aaron Hernandez, Gator nation acknowledged his greatest as a player and his contribution to the program and our national championship, but then completely disowned him.

    Georgia fans on the contrary have been inundated with story after story about Herschel Walker - the latest being his lie about an abortion that he paid for - but still, support this psychopath for the US Senate.
