"Jerry Mungadze, the North Texas therapist Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker credits with his mental health recovery, has a history of controversial statements and treatments, including a variation of "conversion" therapy and a belief that choice of crayon color can reveal whether a patient has been possessed by a demon.

Why it matters: Walker's mental health and recovery have been a pivotal component of his campaign and a focus of both supporters and opponents.
....
Mungadze made headlines in 2014 when he was featured in a British television special called "Cure Me I'm Gay" and when he told televangelist Benny Hinn that crayon and colored pencil drawings of the brain can reveal demonic possession.
.....
Mungadze diagnosed Walker with dissociative identity disorder after a 2001 incident when Walker says he sped around suburban Dallas fantasizing about executing a man who was late delivering a car he'd purchased, which Walker outlined in his autobiography.

That same year, police in Irving received a call from Mungadze because Walker was armed with a gun and scaring his estranged wife, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press.A former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader told Irving police in May 2002 that she believed Walker had been lurking outside her house, per the same AP report.In January 2012, another woman told Irving police that Walker "lost it" when she tried to end her relationship with him, telling police that Walker threatened to wait outside her apartment and "blow her head off," according to another police report."....(more)

4. Football is exactly why

It's why we have Tuberville and had Tom Osbourne and Steve Largent, and why many will vote for Horschit Walker. Because, you know... Football.

5. Name recognition and his ethnicity

Plus he’s running against Warnock.

7. And Rev. Sen. Warnock is "running" against Walker!

"Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is launching a new TV ad casting himself as the most qualified candidate without naming his GOP opponent, former football player Herschel Walker. 

Warnock did make some very clear references to Walker in the ad, shared first with NBC News. The ad starts with Warnock jogging on a racetrack and saying, “If the race between me and my opponent were out here, I could understand why you might choose him.”

"But this campaign is about who’s ready to represent Georgia,” Warnock says in the next shot while doing sit-ups at the gym.

Warnock goes on to tout a series of his efforts in the Senate, flashing local news headlines about his work to cap insulin prices, investigate military base housing conditions, and pressure banks to stop overdraft fees. 

The new spot is a sharp contrast in tone to the Warnock campaign’s first attack ad against Walker, but raises a similar question of who is “ready” to serve in the Senate. It’s also part of a wave of ad spending from Warnock’s campaign, which has already spent $16.9 million on the airwaves, per the ad tracking firm AdImpact. Walker’s campaign has spent $3.3 million on ads so far."

9. Posted this a few days ago. We were down in Georgia for Thanksgiving 2020

Empty Greene’s district no less. Warnock wasn’t much on the national radar. I had seen very little about him even here. Road side signs actually clued me in to his name.

His ads were fantastic. The ones with his dog were cute and effective. He had one that aired the night before Thanksgiving that was one of the single best ads Id ever seen. Just Jim, one on one with the camera, wishing everyone EVERYONE a Happy Thanksgiving. It was almost non-political. I was blown away and thought hmmmm he might be one to watch.

8. Just a reminder for anyone with the means and desire to donate,

Warnock won this Senate seat by the slimmest of margins in a special election and it is crucial for all of us that he keep it, to maintain our Senate Majority. His victory may be the only thing standing in the way of Mitch McConnell becoming majority leader again, blocking Biden SCOTUS appointments, and wreaking all manner of havoc on our society.
