After going two months without taking questions from reporters covering his campaign, Walker’s aides are taking new steps to insulate him from even shouted press questions #gasen

New rule at Herschel Walker events: journalists can’t get within 20 feet of Walker afterwards.

It would seem this is to prevent journalists from shouting questions.

Because Walker hasn’t had a presser for nearly 2 months, press have been left with no other choice. #gapol #gasen

Thus shows Walker’s weakness.

In contrast, Senator Reverend Warnock is meeting with the citizens of Georgia all over our state and engaging with the press. Vote for Warnock!

GOTV y’all! 🗳🍑🇺🇸 Don’t stop!

Re-elect Georgia Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock!

He represents and stands for all Georgians! 🗳🍑🇺🇸

There are 2 more days of early voting on Thursday 12/1 & Friday 12/2 before Election Day on Tuesday December 6, 2022!

1. Political stiff arm

I know people are making fun of Herschel but I gotta say being a Werewolf would be pretty cool.

4. The job of a Senator is to bring folks together. 🐺 🧛‍♀️

Question, do they sparkle in sunlight?

17. Werewolves would kick Dracula's ass

28. Quote Offered As A Counterpoint

( another vamp mocks Dracula for losing his enhanced abilities and becoming an "ordinary vampire" )
My boy… I was never an ordinary vampire. Or did you forget what I used to be? I've killed more men than God's plagues combined. And that was before I started eating people for fun. The fields of Europe used to steam with the blood of my enemies. Trust me… the vampire's the least of your concerns. It's the old man you need to worry about.

24. If Herschel Walker Got A Gig As A "Creature Feature" Host I'd Probably Watch

Better that than a Senator, in any case....

[Walleye]

2. And Kari Lake swore to be their worst freaking nightmare

I’m guessing she’s the one having nightmares now. The press represents the people, this is no way to run a Senate campaign

[CottonBear]

6. The campaign has kept mostly kept Walker away from the press & public.

They are in total lockdown mode now. Not a good sign.

GOTV! Re-elect Senator Reverend Warnock! 🗳🍑🇺🇸

[Alexander Of Assyria]

19. Yet The Press fails to mention as they should every minute, that Walker is refusing to take

questions from the Voters messengers or even meet with voters at all!

Very same Press!??

Could it be the Press like the campaign ad money, $16B nationally for midterms, far more than truth or the Voters? Or they resentful the next election cycle and ad spending has not begun in earne$t nationally due to this road bump?

Dunno, tough one!

[CottonBear]

27. The GA press (mainly AJC & Network TV) don't talk about it...

They really do rake in the ad money.

Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution never digs deeper beyond a Twitter mention.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

35. Maybe ad election ad disclosure laws, updated daily...on official website! Let the voters see!

Who is the media having dinner with?

30. See The Confidence They Show In Their Candidate!

34. Interesting! Jackson Co. is a majority red county.

In the past, it was quite rural, but has suburbanized in the past 30 years with the development and expansion of a county water system.

The old Jackson County was mainly farms and rural homes with the County Seat of Jefferson and a few smaller towns. There was a mix of the Dixie Mafia, bootlegging, car stripping rings, cock fighting rings, and put bull breeding operations.

The modern Jackson County is suburbanizing. In addition, Hispanics began moving to the area in the mid 1980s. There are major supermarkets and shopping areas. Times and demographics are changing.

3. Yesterday I drove through some very red areas:

Towns, Union, Fannin, and Gilmer Counties. There were Warnock signs everywhere! It was glorious to see. We can do this again. GOTV.

[CottonBear]

5. That's a good sign - literally! Thanks for the report!

I noticed that there were only a few remaining Trump signs in the Georgia mountain counties and only a few Walker signs when I drove through this past summer. I saw lots of Burt Jones (Lt. Gov candidate) signs.

When up in North Georgia, I never saw any signs for any Democrats in the general election.

In a statewide race, every vote counts equally. The GA GOP can’t gerrymander the Senate race.

Get out every last Democratic vote! 🗳🍑🇺🇸

[hlthe2b]

14. +1

[MFM008]

7. Then

There would be no coverage of it.

[CottonBear]

8. There's only coverage of his lies, non-residency, & abusive behavior toward women,

not to mention all of the children he never acknowledged or raised, his untreated mental health issues, and his crazy, unhinged comments.

[Blue Owl]

11. Quite a little scheme the GOP has cooked up, isn't it?

[littlemissmartypants]

36. Economical approach means that they can use the same signs

Year after year because they are generic. But they also run sh!tty candidates, so there's that...

❤️

12. Remember - Herschel is the best that republicans have to offer.

Remember - Herschel is the best that republicans have to offer.

Right up there with Kemp and MTG.

[barbtries]

13. i can't believe there's even a RACE here.

it's so clear that Walker is a living nightmare, incompetent to serve. Fuck he can't even string together a sentence.

and yet here we are. Why is it that Democrats in the South were so happy to switch to Republican when the CRA was passed, but now that the republican party has devolved into a fascist wasteland full of idiots, they're too Republican to even consider voting for a Democrat?

all i can come up with really is racism.

I will say that Warnock has an army of people pushing texts. I block several a day, since I have already donated to his campaign on multiple occasions. That there's even a sliver of a chance that he may lose is so depressing.

32. Herschel Walker Gives Racists An Excuse And Affirmation

They have the excuse of being "willing to vote for a black guy" and the affirmation of elevating as an example of black manhood a living embodiment of their worst stereotypes (dimwitted, violent, promiscuous).

[barbtries]

33. good point.

"I can't be a racist, I voted for Herschel Walker."

[littlemissmartypants]

37. Unfortunately the logic they use affirms their stupidity.

"I voted for the dumb guy! Support dumbness!"

Or

"Dumbness, an idea I can get in front."

How am I doing so far?

Making fun of this is of course bigotry. But they're not concerned about that. I can't wrap my head around it. ❤️

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. A sane campaign wants as much press attention as possible. . . . nt

[machoneman]

16. 20 feet is nothing when a reporter screams at him. Makes little difference in my mind.

[Marthe48]

18. Maybe reporters should yell football moves

Just for fun

[CottonBear]

23. LOL! That's a great idea!

😁

[Yonnie3]

20. This will also help prevent unwanted pregnancies

just saying

[CottonBear]

31. Just sayin'

[pandr32]

21. Harbinger of what Walker's actual service would look like

...if he were wedged into the Senate. No accessibility, no transparency, and no accountability.

[BidenRocks]

22. 20 feet?

I was thinking of a ten foot pole.
Will he pull a tfg and rent a helicopter for "Chopper Talk?"

[Turbineguy]

25. 20 feet?

I can do better than that. How does 2600 miles sound?

[Major Nikon]

26. Reminds me of Saint Ronnie

After he appeared dazed and confused trying to answer journalists' questions his handlers insulated him from the public. Most of the time he simply read a script in order to avoid situations like the time he couldn't recognize his only black cabinet member and the time he told a fake story about a medal of honor recipient to a group of real medal of honor recipients.

Leave it to the GQP to prop up a brain damaged politician as a viable candidate. I suppose in their defense he can't possibly be any worse than the group of pinheads like MTG, Boebert, and Gohmert Pyle.

[CottonBear]

29. Ronnie was a GOP puppet just like Herschel. NT
