In response, Walker brandished an honorary deputy badge.Īll hell broke loose as a debate moderator repeatedly reproached Walker for breaking an agreed-upon rule banning the use of props, while Walker insisted it wasn’t a prop but a real honorary badge (apparently not understanding that prop could mean absolutely any visual aid - real or fake). “One thing that I haven’t done is I haven’t pretended to be a police officer and I’ve never, ever threatened a shootout with police,” Warnock said. Warnock raised those falsehoods at their recent debate in Savannah, saying it showed his GOP opponent wasn’t being honest.
He never directly addressed the FBI agent claim.
Walker responded by saying he had an honorary sheriff’s badge from the Cobb County sheriff. In one, he said he worked with Cobb County police, and in another he said he was an FBI agent. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in June that in at least three speeches before he entered the Senate race, Walker falsely claimed he worked in law enforcement. In their sole debate on October 14, Warnock brought up one of the many false claims Walker had made about his past before moving back to Georgia to run for office, as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution explains: However it happened, Walker has managed to turn an attack line by his opponent Senator Raphael Warnock into an aggressive messaging device of his own in the home stretch of their close and bitterly fought contest in Georgia. Perhaps he learned some jiujitsu principles in his brief career as a mixed-martial-arts fighter in his late 40s. We have been reliably informed by Herschel Walker that he is not a brilliant man (“I’m not that smart,” he said recently).
