Herschel Walker Fumbles Again, ‘An Honorary Deputy Is Like A Junior Ranger Badge’ OR TWA Wings

One bright spot after election day in November will be the departure of Herschel Walker from the public eye. This will be an act of mercy. The man is so far out of his league that he has no idea that every single time he opens his mouth all he does is put his foot in it.

Today’s fantastic faux pas is Walker claiming how he “backs the blue” — unlike Senator Warnock.

His “evidence” for this claim is some documentation showing a time in his life when he was an “honorary deputy” in Cobb County, Georgia.

When I was in high school, I was elected my town's "Honorary" mayor for the day. I did not get to pass any legislation, but I did get my picture in the paper. Exactly as useful as what yours is, Herschel.

Honorary Agent Man Herschel Walker. Oh, Gawd. And don’t forget FBI agent Walker, the gold standard in federal law enforcement. The New Civil Rights Movement;

“The Cobb County Police Department told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution it has no record of Walker working with the department. The Republican’s campaign said he was ‘an honorary deputy’ — a point the Cobb sheriff’s office could not confirm — though a former DeKalb County district attorney said the title was meaningless, even if true.”

“Being an ‘honorary deputy,’ a local prosecutor said, is like having ‘a junior ranger badge.’”

Benen also reported, “As recently as 2019, Walker also told an audience, ‘I spent time at Quantico at the FBI training school. Y’all didn’t know I was an agent?’”

CNN fact checker Daniel Dale weighed in on Sen. Warnock’s remarks.

Warnock’s ‘thug’ comments were used in Kelly Loeffler’s attack ads against him in 2020. Like this Walker tweet, the ads didn’t explain what he was talking about: abusive policing in Ferguson, specifically.”

Star Telegram reporter Bud Kennedy lambasted Walker, writing, “In 1974, I was appointed a special deputy sheriff in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, with a card like this to prove it. It is an honor, not an assignment. I put the card in a keepsake drawer. It is not meant to be used to mislead voters.”

Meanwhile, Lincoln Project Executive Director Fred Wellman snarked, “I don’t like to brag but I was an Honorary Pilot with TWA in the ’70’s myself. I had wings and everything.”

Here is a clip of Newsmax asking Walker about his mental fitness to which Walker replies, “my bike is not bent. Anybody can ride my bike.” (Baby you can drive my car, yes I’m gonna be a star….)

If even Newsmax is asking him if he’s all there, you know things are going downhill. Another two months of this. This fad of celebrities turning politics into a freak fest needs to stop. That said, don’t hold your breath.
