Deputy Dawg for U.S. Senate

Herschel flashes debate audience

Fromer Georgia Bulldog, Herschel Walker.

TMZ lays down the backstory:

Herschel Walker showed up to his Georgia Senate debate Friday, expecting barbs from his opponent, incumbent Raphael Warnock … but ended up getting a scolding from the debate’s moderator for intentionally breaking the rules with a seemingly bogus badge.

The two shared the stage in Savannah to mix it up before the election next month, and when someone asked a question about policing, Warnock pivoted into an accusation aimed at the former Georgia Bulldog star running back.

“One thing I have not done … I’ve never pretended to be a police officer,” the Senator said,  “And I never threatened a shoot-out with the police.”

Warnock’s accusations were met by applause and cheers from the crowd, so a flustered Walker tried to cut in.

“You know what’s so funny?” and the 1982 Heisman winner flashed what appeared to be a fake police badge … “I am with many police officers, and at the same time…”

The debate moderator cut him off, sternly and sharply called him out … “You have a prop. That’s not allowed Sir! … You’re very aware of the rules, aren’t you?”

Warnock was referring to Walker’s claims of being a cop when in reality he’s an “honorary deputy” in Cobb County, a distinction former DeKalb County district attorney J. Tom Morgan told WaPo was nothing more than a “political token” that holds no power.

“When I served on the Torrance City Council, I was provided a cool badge. But that doesn’t make me a police officer any more than a stethoscope makes you a doctor,” tweeted Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat.

The QAnon Shaman (a.k.a. Jacob Chansley) drew a 41-month prison sentence for tresspassing in the Senate chambers on Jan. 6 and occupying the seat of the President of the Senate.

Peach State Republicans hope to send a Georgia Bulldog with a memento deputy badge in Chansley’s place.

There is no bottom.
