Protester allegedly attacks Herschel Walker with racial slur, crashes press conference on Warnock evictions

ATLANTA – A small group of protesters disrupted a press conference being held by Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker on Tuesday, with one allegedly referring to him as a "house n-----."

A number of witnesses at the event said they heard the racial slur, including a media photographer, a number of Walker campaign staff members and multiple bystanders.

"This is all a stunt. He's nothing but a house n-----," the protester, who identified himself as Maceo Fletcher, yelled at Walker following the press conference according to a photographer covering the event for Zuma Press who wished to remain anonymous.

Multiple Walker campaign staffers confronted Fletcher as he was speaking with reporters on camera following the incident, asking him to repeat the slur he called the candidate.

Fletcher ignored them, as did many media members speaking with Fletcher, including CNN and CBS. Neither outlet asked about the slur despite the multiple witnesses who said they heard Fletcher.

One Walker campaign staffer told Fox News Digital that he heard Fletcher say, "He's a joke. He tap dances, and he's a house n------."

Fox pressed Fletcher on what name he allegedly called Walker, but he repeatedly refused to respond to the questions.

The press conference was being held outside the Columbia Towers apartment building in Atlanta, which is mostly owned by the church led by pastor and Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, Walker's opponent.

Warnock's church, Ebenezer Baptist Church, has reportedly been evicting disadvantaged tenants for owing small amounts of rent while the church pays the senator a hefty monthly housing stipend worth $7,417.

According to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, residents have received eviction notices for owing as little as $25.88 in past due rent.   .  .

‘They Treat Me Like a Piece of S—’: Raphael Warnock’s Church Pays for His Home. It’s Also Trying To Evict the Poor From Theirs.

Ebenezer Baptist Church owns an apartment building where residents are being served eviction notices for $28.55 in past-due rent

ATLANTA—"Unemployment benefits have expired, rent is due today, and many Georgia families are at risk of eviction in the middle of a pandemic," Sen. Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) wrote in a tweet in August 2020, charging that by failing to act, his political opponents were "clearly only concerned with serving their own interests."

It may be good political rhetoric, but Warnock’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, where the senator serves as senior pastor—drawing a salary as well as a generous $7,417 monthly housing allowance—has moved to evict disadvantaged residents from an apartment building it owns, one of whom it tried to push out on account of merely $28.55 in past-due rent.

The church is the 99 percent owner of the Columbia Tower at MLK Village in downtown Atlanta, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, which describe the building as a home for the "chronically homeless" and those with "mental disabilities."

A dozen eviction lawsuits were filed against Columbia Tower residents over the course of the coronavirus pandemic, the first one in February 2020 and, most recently, in September 2022. The total sum of past-due rent cited in the lawsuits is just $4,900, a figure that could have been covered by one of Warnock’s monthly housing stipends from the church.  .  .

If one wants to make the 'house n' v. 'field n' comparison, Warnock fits the description of the former while Walker would fit the latter.  Even when using racial epithets, the Democrats still get it wrong.
