Republicans are starting to panic over the horrific campaign, being run by their Senate candidate. Herschel Walker in the state of Georgia Walker, of course has been endorsed by Donald Trump, but that endorsement doesn't seem to be helping him as depending on which poll you look at his opponent, Democrat, Rafael Warnock, the incumbent has either a 10 point lead or some of them show him as low as a three point lead. But all of the polls show him definitely leading Herschel Walker. So the Republican state chair in the state of Georgia came out this week, man, by the name of Chuck clay and had this to say about the Herschel Walker campaign, he needs help he needs to be much better prepared because when labor day rolls around, he's going to have to be able to articulate and do it consistently and do it coherently. He's got himself two or three months.

He's a smart guy. Hmm. But he needs to focus. He needs to get that part of the campaign down a Heisman trophy. Isn't going to bring him a victory. Now I agree with most of what you said other than of course the he's a smart guy statement because I do not think Herschel Walker is smart at all. I think he has been very successful in business. Not as successful as he claims though. That's one of the many things he's he's lied about. So he is been a decent businessman. He was a good football player. Sure. But none of those things, by the way, are qualifications to serve in the United States Senate. The guy lied about graduating from the university of Georgia. He lied about graduating as the valedictorian at the university of Georgia lied about being in local law enforcement lied about being an FBI agent lied about his business.

Success lied by omission. About three of his kids didn't even tell his campaign. He had these secret kids, blindsided them to the point where they came out about a week and a half ago and said, this guy's not mentally fit to be a Senator. Yeah. I'd say the problems are racking up for, uh, Herschel Walker here. And here's the thing. It's all because he's an idiot. He's lying about things that you can verify with a frigging phone call. Now I understand folks, all politicians lie, right? Dang near all of them. Sure. But most of them will tell lies that you really can't verify or, you know, debunk. It's kind of these murky gray areas where, oh, well, you know what he kind of said, no, no, no. Herschel Walker is telling lies that you can again, resolve with a phone call like, Hey FBI, did Herschel Walker ever work for you? What no stop calling me. Hey, university of Georgia was Herschel Walker valedictorian. No, he didn't even graduate. Okay. Thanks for your time. This guy is so bad at it that he continuously gets busted and for your own staff to come out and say that you're mentally not fit to serve in

Congress. I think that is probably the biggest UN endorsement of all. And that of course is what Rafael Warnock needs to be running in his campaign ads against Herschel Walker. Not that he needs the help, but I'm sure that the people of the great state of Georgia would love to know that the person they might be voting for isn't even trusted mentally by his own staffers. I'd say that's a pretty big problem.
