Lt. Gov. complains Herschel Walker was forced on GOP by Trump
October 7, 2022 | Chris Donaldson
The vicious smear campaign that has been unleashed on Georgia Republican senatorial hopeful Herschel Walker has some in the party getting squeamish as Democrats and their operatives are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the former NFL star to torpedo his candidacy.
One of those already cutting and running on Walker is the Peach State’s Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan who, instead of digging in and defending his fellow Republican against the savagery of the left-wing slime machine, went on CNN to whine to Anderson Cooper, pre-blaming a potential loss on former President Donald J. Trump.
Battered by a relentless barrage of negative media stories, including one hit piece by The New York Times that suggested that he isn’t black enough, Walker was blindsided after the Daily Beast dug up an unnamed woman who claims that she was a former girlfriend of the legendary football hero and that he paid for her to have an abortion, an allegation that he has vehemently denied.
Duncan appeared on Thursday’s edition of “AC360” where he dissed Walker whom he said hasn’t “earned” his respect and bemoaned the fact that he’s even on the ballot, griping about Trump’s continued influence on the GOP.
“This has not as much to do about Herschel Walker as it does the process we went through here in Georgia to actually elect him,” Duncan said. “We didn’t ask who was the best leader. We didn’t ask who had the best resume. Unfortunately, Republicans looked around to see who Donald Trump supported and he was a famous football player, and so he became our nominee, and now we’re paying the price for that.”
Cooper responded, “And that’s why you think, that’s why Herschel Walker is in this race, because Republicans who decided to look for somebody who the former president supported, that was the main criteria?”
