Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker is betting the best way to defeat Sen. Raphael Warnock is with conservative cultural appeal, blasting “wokeness” and drawing distinctions with the incumbent on race.
Addressing fellow Republicans, Walker maintains the smile but goes harder at the left, especially on transgender rights.
“That’s sort of like saying you want Herschel Walker to compete against your daughters,” Walker said in Norcross, eliciting more laughs. Warnock seems reluctant to answer Walker’s broadsides directly. “My job is to represent all the people of Georgia across racial and ethnic and religious line, and all corner of this state,” he told reporters last week.
“He is spreading propaganda and creating more stigma, discrimination and violence against LGBTQ people,” Wetrosky said. “Their rhetoric is not about keeping kids safe, it’s about riling up a small number of base voters while interfering with the rights of parents of LGBT kids to provide stable, happy and healthy homes for the kids.”
After a recent campaign stop in suburban Atlanta, Walker told reporters “institutional racism still exists because you continue to talk about it.” He added, “It always exists things have changed from years ago.”
