Holy shit:
In the GQP, not only do facts not matter but neither do words themselves, especially in the gazpacho police-fearing state of Georgia. Following in the steps of stable genius Marjorie Taylor Greene, Senate candidate Herschel Walker spoke about topics beyond his knowledge bank, threatening to "bring the economy down." And the young host at "Truth" Gazette, in true MAGA spirit, nodded in agreement.
That wasn’t the only idiotic remark he made recently:
If you know Walker, or at least about him, this isn’t new information. The couple divorced after 19 years of marriage in 2002. Grossman has said in the past that, later in their marriage, Walker pulled a gun on her on a handful of occasions, and also put a knife to her throat and choked her.
Walker has said that he has no recollection of these incidents but also doesn’t deny them, because he was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder. He said that at times he would blackout and not know what he was doing, and then Grossman or his therapist would have to tell him what happened. Those moments are when he temporarily becomes one facet of his personality — an “alter” — whether it’s sweet, violent, or anything in between. It was after he was diagnosed that Grossman said he became violent towards her. Convenient.
During an interview with “Voice of Rural America” Walker attempted to defend himself against the commercial and did so poorly — as he usually does .
“I’m glad they brought up the attack with my ex-wife,” Walker said during the interview. “This was done a long time ago. It was done to help people, because that commercial there only tells people I’m gonna continue to be a warrior. I’m gonna continue to fight for mental health.”
This was an actual response to a question asked by a person who is on Walker’s side. The interviewer also made reference to “attacks” from “people who claim they are veterans.” Patriot Support is an organization that Walker claims he founded to help care for veterans. According to an Associated Press investigation, Walker overstated his role in the organization. Also, per the investigation, Patriot Support took advantage of veterans and defrauded the government.
It’s no wonder this idiot is so scared to debate U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock (D. GA):
Professional athlete turned Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker has accepted one invitation to debate Democratic opponent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA)—and it just so happens to be the one debate that provides the topics in advance.
That’s the single appreciable difference between four proposed debates, a subject that, according to the campaigns and event organizers, remains unresolved and confusing, despite the candidates jawing at each other for weeks.
Walker’s campaign has said they chose the forum—hosted by national news conglomerate Nexstar and its Savannah based NBC affiliate, WSAV—because it would have a live audience and the “format and the moderators are fair and would allow each candidate equal opportunity to share their message.”
But it’s apparently rare for debates in Georgia to provide the topics ahead of time. None of the three debates Warnock has previously agreed to are offering the heads-up, according to the organizers’ conversations with The Daily Beast.
Larry Silbermann, general manager of WTOC Savannah, which has already struck an agreement with the Warnock campaign for a debate in mid-October, told The Daily Beast that he’d never fielded such a request.
“In my 30-plus years of doing this, we’ve never given out the topics or have a candidate request it,” Silbermann said.
