Herschel Walker, the GOP nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia, was reprimanded by a moderator for flashing a "prop" police badge in his debate Friday against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.
During a response to a question about crime, Warnock criticized Walker for falsely claiming in the past that he had once worked in law enforcement.
"One thing I've not done is I've never pretended to be a police officer, and I've never threatened a shootout with the police," Warnock said, referring to how the former football star once talked about a police shootout, according to a 21-year-old police report.
Walker then pulled out what appeared to be a fake police badge and held it up on stage, drawing a scolding from one of the moderators.
"You're very well aware of the rules, aren't you?" the moderator said.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D): "One thing I have not done — I have never pretended to be a police officer, and I've never threatened a shootout with the police."

In a 2019 speech, Walker claimed he had once worked in law enforcement.
"I spent time at Quantico at the FBI training schools. Y'all didn't know I was an agent? I probably shouldn't tell y'all that. Y'all don't care about that. Yeah, I've been in law enforcement," Walker said at the time.
There's no record of Walker ever having worked in law enforcement. He has touted the fact that he received an honorary deputy sheriff card reportedly given to him by the Cobb County Sheriff's Office in Georgia.
Walker's campaign has been marred by a string of scandals surrounding his personal conduct, including the recent allegation that he paid for the abortion of a former girlfriend in 2009 despite his staunch anti-abortion views. Walker has denied the reports and accused the woman of lying. His conservative son, meanwhile, has turned on him and called him a liar.
The race is one of the key battles in the upcoming election that could determine control of the Senate. Warnock, a pastor who won his seat in a 2021 runoff, is seeking his first full term in office.
Public polling has shown Warnock with a small but consistent lead over Walker. If either candidate doesn't receive more than 50% of the vote in November, there will be a runoff.

I watched this video clip and Herschel Walker looks and acts punch drunk.
Amazing what is taking place down in Georgia.
He must think that he's the new sheriff in town. Oh, wait he is also an Indian...The identity changes are getting confusing.
What kind of person would for someone who flashes a fake badge in a U.S. Senate debate?
Someone who pays 26.38$ to Amazon.
He looked and sounded like an imbecile.
Some pols say it makes no difference now because the voters are fixed in their opinions.
He looks and sounds like he played one too many NFL games without a helmet.
Anyone who votes for Walker is also an imbecile.
It seems that's the new pre-requisite to run for office as a Trumpublican these days. The handful of actual rational Republicans have been pushed out of the party; all they have left are morons and yes men that have their heads stuffed up Donalds ass and their hands in the pockets of his gullible sycophants.
So, Warnock debated Biden?
When it comes to taking back the senate, republicans would vote for a dead cat if that who is running.
No different than liberals voting for a glass of water in some districts.
Walker set the bar low for this debate by admitting before the debate that he wasn't quite as clever as Warnock, nor could he speak as well as Warnock. For those who actually watched it, Walker finally went on the offense and he was able to hold his own. Despite all the stunts the democrats have recently pulled on Walker, the candidate knew enough to make it about the issues:
“For those of you who are concerned about voting for me, I’m not a politician,” Walker said. “I want you to think about the damage politicians like Joe Biden and Raphael Warnock have done to this country.”
Only kids and weirdos carry around fake police badges. Who is that supposed to impress? The typical GOP Georgian ?
Well, he is an Indian and worked with the FBI that right there should get him votes /s. I wonder being a Cherokee from Georgia if he has any inkling of the history of Georgia and the Cherokee.
Hershal said ''I'm not that smart'' Believe him.
