Is This Seriously Who Republicans Want Representing Georgia Instead Of Raphael Warnock?

"What Do You Call a Failed Insurrection? PRACTICE"

When she reaches Georgia, new Republican Senator Herschel Walker objects to accepting Harris’ choice of the slate of Electors pledged to Joe Biden, the slate submitted by Georgia’s Governor Stacey Abrams. Instead, Sen. Walker demands Harris count the vote of the slate submitted by Georgia’s GOP-controlled legislature with Electors committed to Donald Trump."

Walker should never be able to win a seat in the US Senate.

Trump-endorsed Georgia Senate candidate/serial domestic abuser Herschel Walker cancelled a scheduled fundraiser with some wingnut rando who apparently enjoys filling Twitter with swastikas .. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/herschel-walker-fundraiser-donors-vaccine-swastika/ .

And as a deeply flawed individual Walker seems an obvious choice to run evangelist bumper stickers together with Trump..

Faith and freedoms: why evangelicals profess unwavering love for Trump
[...]
Evangelicals feel Trump has kept his covenant with them by nominating conservative judges to federal courts and to the supreme court; by tacitly supporting abortion bans; by supporting Christian universities and organizations that profess a moral objection to same-sex marriage or contraception; by supporting religious dispensations from anti-discrimination laws; by moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and other measures.
P - Meanwhile, Trump has addressed a central concern for white evangelicals that they are losing influence as a group and that the sun is setting on the United States they dream of – a nation that is white and Christian in its majority and in its essence.
[...]
Trump’s perceived delivery on that dream overwhelms qualms that many religious voters might have about sexual assault allegations against Trump, or about his multiple marriages or worship of mammon, Fea said.
P - “They don’t see this at all as hypocrisy,” Fea said. “They believe that Trump is appointed by God for a moment such as this. They believe that God uses corrupt people – there are examples in the Bible of this, so they’ll call upon these verses.
P - “They truly believe that ‘God works in mysterious ways. He uses even someone like Donald Trump to accomplish His will.’”
P - But some evangelicals go further. They no longer even see such a conflict because they believe Trump is no longer a corrupt person, because he has had a kind of spiritual awakening since running for president.

Evangelists made up 26% of 2020 voter. They voted 81% for Trump. Herschel Walker is a deeply flawed individual. Like Trump.
Though it's been said McConnell gave Trump the flick after Jan.6, 2021 McConnell has endorsed Trump's man Walker.

So all in all - really - it looks Walker is an ideal today's GOP candidate.
