Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Herschel Walker is currently running as a Republican against incumbent Raphael Warnock in the Georgia senate race. It’s been a very vicious, incredibly close and highly controversial election, but that doesn’t mean Walker has unanimous support inside his own party.
Republican Lieutenant Governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan revealed earlier this week that he refused to vote for Herschel Walker, saying he “couldn’t find anything that made sense for me to put my vote behind.”
In another interview this week, Geoff Duncan took that criticism a step further, calling Walker “one of the worst Republican candidates in our party’s history.”
“I’m a conservative. I’m a conservative because I think it’s the best way to govern. I’ve been a Republican a lot longer than a lot of folks. I think I’ve got kids probably that could articulate the conservative platform better than some of the candidates that Donald Trump and his group supported all across the country,” Duncan said during an on-air interview with CBS News, according to Fox News. “This wasn’t the right brand for Republicanism, and I think Herschel Walker will probably go down as one of the worst Republican candidates in our party’s history.”
This isn’t the first time Walker has quarreled with members of his own party as his campaign battled against the party’s deceptive fundraising last month.
