In his latest analyst, CNN's Daniel Dale reports that Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, has run a campaign littered with false and misleading claims.
that he had been an FBI agent, Walker said, "I'm so glad you brought that up. Because if you look at the tape, when I talk about the FBI, you can clearly see I was joking. But I have trained with the FBI...
Here's the context for Walker's 2019 comments. In a speech to members of the military, in which Walker discussed his struggle with mental illness, heabout a time he had been so angry at someone that he grabbed a gun and drove off with the intention of killing the man, calming down only when seeing a bumper sticker about love for Jesus.
Walker said he had worked for law enforcement, then added, "Y'all didn't know that either, did you? I spent time at Quantico, up at the FBI training school. Y'all didn't know I was an agent? I probably shouldn't tell you all that. Y'all don't care. Anyway -- hey I've been in law enforcement before. So I grab my gun..."
Walker smiled at various points in these remarks, but at no point did he say he was joking; it certainly wasn't obvious that he was being serious about spending time at the FBI training school but then joking immediately afterward when he said he had been an agent.
