Walker defends his police badges as 'legit' after debate stunt

Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker on Sunday said the police badge he flashed on Friday during a debate with Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) is a “real badge” given to him by a police officer and that he carries it with him “all the time.”

Walker told NBC’s Kristen Welker that he has badges from counties across Georgia.

“This is from my hometown. This is from Johnson County from the sheriff from Johnson County, which is a legit badge,” Walker said, showing Welker the badge. “If anything happened in this county, I have the right to work with the police in getting things done.”

“People don’t know that I’ve been working with law enforcement for years,” he added. “I do training programs … I do health and wellness programs. I visit prisons.”

I’m thinking a Nobel Prize and People Magazine’s Sexiest Man In America would look good on my mantle.
