Attention, Georgia Voters: Herschel Walker Isn’t Even a Georgian—He’s a Texan

If you thought New Jersey’s Mehmet Oz—now running for Senate in Pennsylvania, for some reason—was a shameless carpetbagger, wait until you read this. It’s still unclear why this isn’t bigger news.

Above is a picture of one of the two Texas mansions Herschel Walker has lived in long-term this century. Both in Texas. The most recent one he lived for ten years—in fact, up until only a matter of months ago, when a last-minute stunt allowed him to become nominally an “inhabitant” (not even a permanent resident) of Georgia.

For some reason, despite it being covered by local Georgia news, including NBC News affiliate WXIA-TV, the fact that Walker is a Texan who has lived in the same Dallas-area gated community for a decade hasn’t made the national news in the way Mehmet Oz’s equally unabashed carpetbaggery has.

And yet, the truth is undeniable—Herschel Walker is a Texan. Here’s an aerial photo of his current mansion in Westlake, Texas:

As local Georgia news has reported to shockingly little fanfare, Herschel Walker has in fact “lived in the same house near Dallas, Texas for the last decade, and has declared it his ‘homestead’ for tax purposes.” Walker is only able to run for Senate in Georgia under a “vague” constitutional “exemption”, the report adds—precisely the sort of empty legal technicality the MAGA movement has decried as contrary to the spirit and intent of the United States Constitution, which has usually been seen (it should go without saying) as supporting public officials living amongst those they represent.

{Note: “No taxation without representation!” is a popular Revolutionary-era slogan related to this, as one would think a “patriotic” movement whose rallying cry is “1776!” would know.}

Incredibly—and this appears to have only been lightly reported as well—Walker admits he’s no Georgian. Instead, he uses squirrelly language to discuss this particularly sensitive political subject, cannily calling himself a “product of the State of Georgia” (emphasis supplied) rather than a resident.

Walker was born and raised in Georgia, but looks to have turned his back on the state—at least residence-wise, if not as to a series of businesses he has since been found to have lied repeatedly about—after dropping out of the University of Georgia without a college degree (an incident he has since also lied about) to play professional football.

Prior to living in the Texas mansion near Dallas that Walker physically occupied at least through the latter half of 2021, the former athlete lived in yet another mansion in Irving, Texas (see cover image above) occupying this equally posh location as a proud Texan through 2005, per reports. During this time, according to Walker’s MAGA-fan son Christian, the ultra-rich Walker did nothing to help raise any of his many out-of-wedlock children.

Instead, it was at this latter residence that Walker was involved in a terrifying armed 2001 standoff with Texas law enforcement officers, during which incident he seriously contemplated—he’s since confessed—firing on police as part of a murder-suicide plan.
