Herschel Walker had a great response to the eviction scandal that is embroiling his opponent for the Senate seat in Georgia, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). He offered to pay the rent for anyone still facing eviction.
Warnock lied during their debate last week saying that “we have not evicted” tenants when in fact they have and he called it an attempt to attack the Ebenezer Baptist Church. I’m not sure how much of a defense he thought that was to the charge of hypocrisy when he’s getting a $7,417 monthly allowance from the Church, attacking his former opponent during the primary claiming she was against an eviction moratorium during the pandemic, but then evicting and trying to evict people for small amounts of money during the pandemic. Even a local Democratic mayor said Warnock’s response made him feel “queasy.”
Indeed not only was that a lie, but even as Warnock was claiming that last week, the building was working to evict three more people — two were just for $115. Each was for rent that wasn’t even two weeks late.
