Former NFL star and potential Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker has made a name for himself in conservative media circles, but that hasn’t obscured a checkered past. The Associated Press dug into records tied to Walker’s business dealings and divorce, finding allegations that he threatened his ex-wife’s life, inflated his wealth, and had unpredictable behavior. Walker has long noted his diagnosis of dissociative personality disorder, with a 2008 book noting how the disorder left him with violent feelings. Despite claiming he sought professional help, ex-wife Cindy Grossman filed a protective order in late 2005, claiming he was violent toward her.

Walker has also exaggerated his business dealings, claiming to have hired hundreds of employees for his company despite filing an application for a $182,000 Paycheck Protection Program loan that listed the number as eight. Business associates also noted that, despite Walker’s claims, he does not own a chicken processing plant. Walker did not respond to the AP’s requests for comment.

9. madness that he is so unaware what the VAST majority of QMAGAts would do to him if given a free hand

He is the most depressing person I have introduced to in months.

11. QMAGAS and Mike Pence !

[brush]

5. Sad, full of self-hatred. His old man is a wreck too. Correlation there?

[Buns_of_Fire]

6. After reading the AP story, I can see why TFG likes him. nt

[SilverDawg]

18. I saw Herschel play when I was

at UGA. I think his association with TFG is influencing his decision making - both past and present.

7. In other words, the perfect Republican candidate

[Celerity]

10. he is, smdh. The worse of a human you are, the higher on the Rethug success scale you climb

as a general rule of thumb, at least in regardless to greed, lust, lying, megalomania, confidence gaming, hate, misogyny, wilful ignorance, sophistry, hypocrisy, etc.

[Bucky]

15. Plus they have some bad qualities too

[Thtwudbeme]

8. Sounds about right for a Republican

So far he's checking off the boxes to have a successful run-

[keithsw]

12. He's dumb as a rock

And functionally illiterate. He should fit right in as a Republican

[North Shore Chicago]

13. With this on his resume,

he could be the president of fools one day.

[Baked Potato]

14. This candidate is a walking Psyop. All for divide and conquer. Nt

[lame54]

16. He's their guy - he passed the background check

[Wounded Bear]

17. Sounds a lot like The Former Guy...

he'll do well with repub voters.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Dear Herschel, they were never going to like you anyways.

Never. Doesn't matter what you did, how hard you tried. You will never, ever, ever be acceptable. "Good enough to hire not good enough to marry," so to speak.

They like having you to use, Herschel, and that's it.

20. TFG probably screwed Georgia out of a national championship by illegally recruiting Walker ...

for his stupid USFL team, costing Walker his eligiblity and leaving Georgia with a Heisman-sized hole at running back.

TFG? FTG!!!
