In light of recent charges leveled against the Republican presidential contender, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) provided a response. At a news conference on Wednesday, Herschel Walker, a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, compared the charges against Kavanaugh, who was nominated to the Supreme Court in 2018, to the sensational and unverified claims made against Kavanaugh at the time.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Gloria Allred, a liberal attorney, stated that an unidentified woman claims that she had an affair with Walker in the late 1980s or early 1990s and that he paid for her to get an abortion.
“Well, I’m going to say right now, people, I’m done with this silliness,” Walker said during the press conference. “I’ve informed individuals this is fiction, and I have no interest in propagating a deception.”
After adding that the Democrats were “pounded at that debate,” he went on to imply that they were “doing and saying whatever they could to win this fight and win this seat.” I’d want to let them know, though, that they’re not familiar with Herschel Walker. It’s a secret that I’m from Wrightsville, Georgia, but I’m actually a candidate for this seat. I knew from the minute I entered the battle that I would triumph. They now see that I will ultimately prevail. I’m announcing my victory for this seat right now.
Walker’s campaign stop in Georgia concluded with a brief speech, after which Graham joined him onstage.
I’ve watched this movie before, end of an argument. Graham said, “I remember the Kavanaugh scheme very well.” The hearing is over, and suddenly this letter appears in my mailbox. In this case, I’d want to propose it to the committee. The Washington Post read the memo with its sensational assertion before the committee did.
Democrats who knew of Judge Kavanaugh’s contacts with them never gave him a chance to explain himself. Graham said, “And the rest is history.” Add one more, two more, three more. This is the plan, Herschel. It is typical practice to have a high-profile attorney, like the now-incarcerated Michael Avenatti, make a bogus allegation right before elections to sway public opinion in favor of or against a candidate for the Supreme Court or the Senate. The short answer is “yes,” as I have seen this movie.
Those hills are about 40 miles from where I live,” Graham remarked. This community’s people will not tolerate that. The Georgians will have an unfavorable reaction. It seems to be coming directly from L.A. This is the opinion of a prominent Democratic Party activist attorney who was present at Hillary Clinton’s 2016 convention. But Georgians are not completely illiterate.
