It seems that even Fox News is sick and tired of Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s refusal to answer questions, and they’re letting him know it to his face.
Case in point: Walker made an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning and insisted that he wasn’t there to beg for donations the way Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) did when he was seeking reelection.
“I’m going to say this, Brian, I’m not Lindsey Graham, but you’ve got to go to TeamHerschel.com. I want everyone to go to TeamHerschel.com because they’re not going to buy this seat. They can’t win on their policies, so what they’re trying to do right now is buy this seat. Well, they’re not going to buy it. I don’t care where [Sen. Raphael Warnock] is getting his money from.”
Recent fundraising numbers show that Warnock is destroying Walker in the money race, NBC News reports:
Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock raised $52.2 million for his re-election between Oct. 20 through Nov. 16, more than doubling the fundraising total of his opponent, Republican Herschel Walker.
Warnock, the top fundraising federal candidate of the 2022 election cycle by a long-shot, spent $39.2 million over the same period, which almost doubled Walker’s spend too. The incumbent closed the period with $29.7 million banked away.
Walker still raised a significant amount over that fundraising period — $20.9 million. His campaign spent $16.5 million and closed with $9.8 million on hand.
Walker also told host Brian Kilmeade:
“I love the Lord Jesus. That’s the reason I got into this race, and we’re going to go out and beat Sen. Warnock because he don’t stand for Georgia.”
Kilmeade wrapped up the interview by telling Walker, “Herschel, best of luck. It’s a sprint to Dec. 6. Thanks so much for joining us.”
Once again, Walker begged for money:
“Thank you. God bless. And TeamHerschel.com. I love you.”
The host ended the interview by telling Walker he sounded just like Graham asking for money:
“Right! You are doing your best Lindsey Graham impression.”
When Graham was up for reelection in 2020, he went on Fox and whined:
“LindseyGraham.com. Help me. They’re killing me, money-wise. Help me. You helped me last week — help me again. LindseyGraham.com.”
