The Georgia primary races have started today, and GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker couldnβt help but give another priceless soundbite. No, itβs not that Walker has a cure for COVID or the lack of understanding of Americaβs energy policies. According to Newsweek, Walker claims that former President Donald Trump never said the 2020 Presidental election was stolen.
During an interview with Atlanta-based news station WAGA-TV this week, news anchor Russ Spencer asked Walker about the claims.
Suggested Reading
βI think reporters said that. I donβt know whether President Trump said that. Heβs never said that to me,β Walker responded, prompting Spencer to point out that Trump has βsaid it over and over. Please.β
Then Walker went on to say that βsomething went on in the election,β never specifying what β even trying to drag Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams into it.
βIβm not saying the presidentβbut everyone knows that something happened in the election.β He then sought to turn the question around, noting that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams did not concede during her 2018 election.
βBut in that instance right there, I said, βGuys, thereβs people that theyβre unhappy with the election. Do you know what happened? I think something happened. I donβt know what it wasβbut something happened because people are angry,β Walker said.
Spencer then noted that while Abrams has not conceded, she has not brought it up βon a regular basis for a year and a halfβ as Trump has done. Walker said if he did not believe Trumpβs claims, he βwould disagree with him.β
Last week, Trump said at a rally in Texas that he was writing a book named The Crime of the Century based on his false allegations of voter fraud, regarding the 2020 election.
Was Herschel Walker just not around on Jan. 6th, 2021, or see the audits across the country that found no evidence of voter tampering?
Nevertheless, Walker is projected to win the GOP nomination for the Senate race in Georgia in a matchup with Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock this fall. Georgia voters, make the right decision, please.
