Considering the Rafael Warnock campaign out-spent Hershel Walker by about 3 to 1 (not including even more with Democrat super-PACS and dark money for Warnock), it was a remarkably close election. And Walker was ahead for about an hour.
I hoped for the best, but fully expected this result : that unless it was a complete blowout for Walker, in the event of a close election, the Democrat machine that fixed the 2020 election and the 2022 midterm, would do the same in this runoff election, and if needed whip a "batch" of votes out of a magic hat to give Rafael Warnock the win. And that's what happened. So the white-hating, wife-abusing, slumlord penny pinching, Cultural Marxist Democrat-Bolshevik gets a six-year full Senate term now. It isn't the end of the world, but it is disappointing.
The election was called about 10:45 PM, during Laura Ingraham's show...
https://rumble.com/v1zb2tq-replay-laura-ingraham-weeknights-10pm-est.html... and the segment about 28 minutes in, with Mollie Hemingway and KellyAnn Conway lays it out pretty well: That the official media narrative will be that he lost because he was a bad candidate, and because he was endorsed by Trump.
But the truth is, Hershel Walker should have won the FIRST election in the Nov 8th mid-terms, that was also very close, if Mitch McConnell and Ronna McDaniel had not withheld GOP funds and support for Walker in the Nov 2022 mid-term election, that he should have decisively won the first time. Likewise Adam Laxalt, likewise Blake Masters, likewise Don Bolduc, likewise Kelly Tshibaka, all candidates McConnell hung out to dry in barely lost elections by depriving them of millions in GOP campaign funds, when they were massively out-spent, but still narrowly lost.
I love how the media pundits always say of Walker:
"Ohhh, he was a terrible candidate, he did terrible things..." , but they ignore Walker's personal problems were all many years ago, that he many years ago had psychological/emotional problems that he overcame and put behind him many years ago. That despite many years ago he had a domestic clash with his wife , that at one point involved the police, but Walker is now very close to law enforcement, and even a volunteer who is active in his local police department, and very close friends with many police officers. That Hershel Walker impressively overcame his personal problems, became a Christian and is a completely different person than he was before, and has for many years been a generous philantropist and volunteer and business owner in his community.
As compared to Rafael Warnock, who VERY RECENTLY has called police the enemy, and is a "de-fund" the police guy. Who supported and tried to cover up child abuse in his own church, who had domestic clashes with his wife, and even ran over her foot after arguing with her in the driveway.
If I were Walker's campaign manager, I would have run that police body-cam video of his wife tearfully speaking to officers about the abuse Warnock has inflicted on her, for years, saying "he's manipulative, he's a great actor, he's phenomenal."
Ads showing Warnock in his church pulpit video saying that "America needs to repent for its whiteness", and other comments of racist hatred of whites, and disparaging the country as a whole.
Ads about the child-abuse in Warnock's church, and how he obstructed investigation and tried to cover it up.
Ads showing news stories of how Warnock evicted tenants from a property he owns through his church, even as he hypocritically talks about compassion and helping people in these difficult times.
And especially, ads that Warnock voted 96% with Joe Biden, implementing all the destructive policy THAT HAS CREATED those difficult times. Created the hyperinflation, that created the massive waves of illegal immigrants, the release of criminals from jail, the de-funding of police, the huge spike in violent crime, the illegals flooding into Georgia and every other state.
Mollie Hemingway and KellyAnne Conway perfectly laid out the issues, and deconstructed the propaganda Democrat/mainstream narrative, and the true forces behind Walker's political loss.
