"SNIP......

“Herschel Walker, the football legend and leading Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, often boasts of his work helping service members and veterans struggling with mental health,” the AP reports.

“But corporate documents, court records and Senate disclosures reviewed by The Associated Press tell a more complicated story. Together they present a portrait of a celebrity spokesman who overstated his role in a for-profit program that is alleged to have preyed upon veterans and service members while defrauding the government.”

1. sounds about right

2. That's why he's a GOPer, he lies about stuff that really matters.

3. That guy spoke at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune while I was stationed there

It was the most surreal "pep talk", and that's what it amounted to, that I have ever sat through. He spoke for an hour about the drugs he had taken, how he had multiple personalities and gave a sermon that amounted to "Just say no..get some help". Afterwards, I sat at his table during lunch with my fellow hospital leaders. It's pretty clear he has very real struggles with mental health that have not been addressed. He is not a stable individual.

4. The saddest part of this story is Herschel Walker really doesn't know he lied

His grasp of reality is fleeting.

13. True dat.

Maybe one of his alternative personalities worked with vet.

5. This ought to help

This ought to help cement his reputation with the magaloons

6. He's a republican

[RainCaster]

7. Anyone (R) is a LIAR

Just sayin.

[UTUSN]

8. K&R

9. So? I mean, seriously. So?

[Midnight Writer]

10. The AP story this links to never says he lied about anything.

It says he "overstated", that it's "more complicated" than he said, that it is "an example of a more complex reality".

Never once does it state that the man flat-out lied.

Why can't the story just say he deliberately lied, not only about this but about nearly everything.

11. He also does 3,500 pushups, 3,000 sit ups a day,...

only sleeps 4 hours, and just eats one meal of soup and salad.

And, of course, he doesn't use steroids.



Riiiiiiiiight...

12. Mendacity isn't a fault with the GOP, it's a value-added feature.
