AP Photo/Butch Dill, File Herschel Walker, a football legend in the state of Georgia, is running for the U.S. Senate against Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat who currently holds the seat after winning it in 2020.
Walker is beloved throughout the state for his time as a running back for the University of Georgia, where he won a Heisman in 1982. He has statewide name recognition, is running as a Republican, and he has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
But, lurking in the shadows are very serious allegations of domestic violence, as well as his own admissions in his autobiography .
Those allegations are part of an ad dropped against Walker by Gary Black’s campaign. Black, currently the Commissioner of Agriculture in Georgia, is looking to knock Walker out of the top spot ahead of the primaries in Georgia and be the Republican nominee going up against Warnock. Right now, the most recent poll has Walker up 58 points over Black (66-8), and that gap has been fairly consistent, but Black is hoping to make a pretty significant dent with attack ads.
The ad in question brings up police reports and media coverage of Walker’s most disturbing incidents. You may find the ad brutal, dark, or even distasteful, but the fact of the matter is that Walker will be facing a lot more of it going forward.
Walker is probably not the perfect candidate, and Black’s ad points that out. It’s presented as a “What happens if Herschel Walker wins the Republican nomination?” ad, then shows what Democrats will be saying. Which is 100 percent true, by the way, but it’s a little too clever. We know it’s not just Democrats, but Black (and other Republicans) who want to drop this bit of oppo against Walker.
For Black, it’s an opportunity to try […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
