Warnock and Walker each handily won their parties' primaries (no run-offs).

Fact check: Herschel Walker falsely claims he never falsely claimed he graduated from University of Georgia

By Daniel Dale and Andrew Kaczynski, CNN
Updated 1108 GMT (1908 HKT) May 25, 2022

(CNN)Herschel Walker, the former football star who is now the Republican nominee for a US Senate seat in Georgia, is piling dishonesty upon dishonesty on the subject of his college education.

In December, Walker's campaign website falsely claimed that he had graduated from the University of Georgia, the school he left after his junior season to play professionally. (Walker's campaign deleted the claim after the Atlanta Journal-Constitution inquired about it.) In April, CNN's KFile team revealed that Walker himself had made the false graduation claim for years -- and that Walker had even asserted that he graduated in the top 1% of his University of Georgia class.

But when Walker was challenged about his graduation deception in an interview last week with FOX 5 Atlanta anchor Russ Spencer, Walker declared he had never once said he graduated from the University of Georgia.

Spencer told Walker that he has a "phenomenal life story," but that "in some instances you've exaggerated that story. You said that you graduated from UGA..."

Walker interjected: "I never said that. They say that. And I said -- that's what you gotta remember. I never, I never have said that statement. Not one time. I've said that I studied criminal justice at UGA."

Facts First: Walker's claim that he "never" and "not one time" said he graduated from the University of Georgia is flat out false. Walker said on camera at least twice that he graduated from the school. Walker's promotional materials have also featured the false claim that he graduated.

When CNN asked for comment on Tuesday, Walker's campaign did not explain or correct his false claim that he had never said he earned his college degree. Spokesperson Mallory Blount instead said in an email: "Imagine a world where the media cared as much about solving inflation, gas prices and baby formula shortages as they do about re-litigating every word Herschel has ever said."

That's hardly the only false thing they've caught Walker on, there have been a number of them. The people voting for him really don't care.

At a guess, a portmanteau of "shit" and "idiot" with a bit of fake accent thrown in. I hope. (I would be very surprised if sad-cafe was mis-gendering)

Herschel Walker ‘mad’ at Trump over remarks about Senate bid

Herschel Walker, the Georgia Republican Senate nominee and former NFL player, said he’s “mad” at former President Trump for claiming he was the one who lured Walker into the race to unseat Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.).

“One thing that people don’t know is President Trump never asked me,” Walker said in an interview with the rapper Killer Mike on Revolt TV. “I need to tell him that he never asked. I heard it all on television that ‘he’s going to ask Herschel,’ saying Hershel is going to run. President Trump never came out and said ‘Herschel, will you run for that Senate seat?’”

“So, I’m mad at him, because he never asked, but he’s taking credit that he asked,” Walker said.

I didn't see anything in here that I haven't seen before, but is compelling to see them collected together like this.

He's also attracted to men, but not gay. I'm not sure how that works, perhaps lack of access to a dictionary?

So giving out gas cards on behalf of Walker is legal but handing out water to people standing in line with no candidate attached will get you arrested.

Could an IAAL comment?

A pro-Herschel Walker gas giveaway fuels Democratic outrage


The gas cards come with a flyer supporting Walker stating that Warnock voted to raise gas prices. I don't know how many people fell for the scam and how many just thought, Hey $25 in gas! and will still vote for Warnock.

So do I, but I mean, it really isn't going to affect any votes. Those voting for Walker are going to vote for him regardless of even if he claims to have been the first man on Mars, they don't care as long as he has the R after his name and the endorsement of tfg. That said, Walker is a particularly bad candidate.
