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.
Republicans will vote for him because he fits their racist ideological narrative. They are comfortable with him. The cannot be comfortable with an upstanding, intelligent, educated, well spoken individual with proven leadership qualities-too threatening. The fact that Walker is still in the race and may be 2pts ahead of Warnock turns my stomach. I have always been a firm believer that cynics or cynical attitudes are most damaging. All skepticism and doubt, no solutions=lazy brains. If he wins it will be a cynical vote, suggesting faith in our political process and politicians may be completely plundered.
MAGA Republicans don't care where Herschel Walker really lives, just as they don't care that he is unable to communicate in complete sentences. They care only that he can spout the party line and follow orders, which he does. If Georgians elect Walker, they deserve the representation -- or lack thereof -- which he'll provide.
It was highlighted when he first announced. But just like Hawley and Oz, no one files suit against them to prove via electric bills how long they’ve lived somewhere. Why?
Wow...I subscribe to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and had not seen this. I'm surprised they have not made a bigger issue of this.
Seth's "25 REASONS NO ONE SHOULD EVER VOTE FOR HERSCHEL WALKER" is also good reading.

Why hasn’t this been in the news more? Thanks for this article Seth.
