ATLANTA — Growing questions about U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker’s credibility threaten his campaign at a time when Republicans want nothing more than to talk about high inflation and economic uncertainty.
Walker’s exaggerations and false statements about his business background, academic record and family dogged him even before he launched his campaign. That’s only intensified with the race in full swing. Now he’s confronted with a report that even his own aides don’t trust him.
The Daily Beast obtained emails and texts that outlined how Walker’s advisers don’t believe the candidate and worry that he isn’t “mentally fit for the job.” One anonymous staffer told the left-leaning outlet that the former football star spouts falsehoods “like he’s breathing.”
