"SNIP.......

“Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign cut ties with its political director on Wednesday, the move coming just days after The Daily Beast reported that the Georgia Republican paid for a woman’s abortion more than a decade ago,” CNN reports.

“Two people familiar with the matter said Taylor Crowe was fired after suspected leaking to members of the media. It is unclear if there were any other factors at play.”

sitting on that bombshell info until just the right time to release it.

That kind of damaging info is impossible to keep hidden. His campagin even knew about it but rolled the dice with Walker anyway, hoping it wouldn't come out.

That shows some political naivete if you ask me.

harder against going with trump's preferred candidate, the so badly flawed Walker.

In 1989, at the peak of Walker's NFL career, the Cowboys sent Herschel Walker to the Vikings for five players and six draft picks.

The players were LB Jesse Solomon, DB Isiac Holt, RB Darrin Nelson, LB David Howard, and DE Alex Stewart.

The picks turned into players such as Emmitt Smith, Russell Maryland, Kevin Smith, and Darren Woodson.

You think the clown should be dead.....Lord knows any normal candidate will be dead...but suddenly he gets up and is off to kill more teenage girls.

If herschel wins..and he still could, this fired political director will be able to put on his resume that he got even herschel in office.
