The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker regularly praises police officers. But was Walker in law enforcement himself? In at least three speeches delivered before he entered politics, Walker claimed he was, the AJC’s Shannon McCaffrey reports.
“I worked in law enforcement, so I had a gun. I put this gun in my holster and I said, ‘I’m gonna kill this dude,’” Walker said at a 2013 suicide prevention event for the U.S. Army. In a 2017 speech, Walker got more specific.
“I work with the Cobb County Police Department, and I’ve been in criminal justice all my life,” he said. Later, in 2019, he said he was an FBI agent. “I spent time at Quantico at the FBI training school. Y’all didn’t know I was an agent?” he said at a speech to soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.
Read the full article. Walker has previously been exposed for his many lies about his education, a veterans “charity” he claims to have founded, and his businesses.
Things Herschel wishes he was but isn’t:
A high school valedictorian
A University of Georgia alum
A successful businessman
A friend to veterans in need
A police officer
