The Republican nominee in the Georgia Senate race was reprimanded during his debate Friday night against Sen. Raphael Warnock.
Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee in the Georgia Senate race, was reprimanded after flashing a “prop” police badge during his debate Friday night against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.
Walker showed the badge after Warnock called him out for previous comments that he’s trained with the FBI and worked with law enforcement — claims that have been debunked. “I have to respond to that,” Walker responded, as he reached into his coat to pull out what looked like a police badge: “You know what’s so funny? “I am work [sic] with many police officers.”“Excuse me, Mr. Walker,” the surprised moderator said. “Please, out of respect, I need to let you know … you are very well aware of the rules tonight; and you have a prop. That is not allowed sir. I ask you to put that prop away.
Walker added: “I said that is a lie and I am not backing down. And we have Sen. Warnock, people that would do anything and say anything for this seat. But I am not going to back down.”
