Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate for the US Senate in Georgia, has run a campaign littered with false and misleading claims.
Walker is once again facing questions about his truthfulness. The latest round of scrutiny was prompted by a report from The Daily Beast that the anti-abortion conservative had paid for a woman’s abortion in 2009. CNN has not independently verified the story, and Walker has vehemently denied it.
Walker, however, has previously undermined his credibility. In 2020 and 2021, he was a serial promoter of false claims about the 2020 election. In the years prior, he repeatedly exaggerated his academic record and business record. And in 2022, Walker has made inaccurate claims about a variety of subjects – once even falsely claiming he never made a false claim that he had actually made on camera at least twice.
Walker’s pattern has persisted in the late stages of his midterm race against Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock. Here is a fact check of five of the claims he has made in September and early October.
Walker’s campaign declined to comment on specific claims. Walker campaign spokesperson Will Kiley responded to a request for comment by insulting this reporter.
Walker’s campaign has aired a fall campaign ad in which Walker looks into the camera and claims that Warnock “called police ‘thugs,’ then cut their funding.”
