The AJC stories that upon successful their awards, the corporate stated:
“Renaissance Man Meals Companies is one in all our longstanding and intensely profitable numerous provider partnerships … Owned and operated by Mr. Herschel Walker, Renaissance Man has served as an integral meals companion to our Courtyard Model, supplying rooster merchandise to the vast majority of these properties all through america.”
However throughout a Republican roundtable in an Atlanta neighborhood, Walker took a really totally different tone about minority-owned companies.
“I didn’t need to be a Black-owned enterprise … I needed to be a enterprise,” Walker stated.
And when requested concerning the difficulties of being a minority enterprise proprietor and the way the grants and assist they’ll obtain can usually assist making alternatives equal, the AJC stories the Heisman Trophy winner replied: “There’s at all times room for affirmative motion, however it’s a must to put the suitable individual on the desk.”
However Walker’s double commonplace angle actually is the least of his issues.
As we’ve reported at Day by day Kos, Walker’s lies are ubiquitous.
The GOP and Trump-endorsed Walker has lied about every part from graduating from the College of Georgia, the AJC reported, to hiding the truth that he had any youngsters apart from his one 22-year-old son Christian, to the mammoth exaggerations about his enterprise acumen, to the tall story concerning the time he based (or co-founded) the veteran’s group Patriot Help—which he didn’t. He even lately tried to disclaim that former President Donald Trump ever stated that the 2020 election was stolen.
It’s no surprise Walker has continued to waffle on debates in opposition to Georgia’s Democratic incumbent, Sen. Raphael Warnock.
As reported by Georgia Public Radio (GPB) in early August, Walker agreed to a debate in opposition to Warnock in Savannah on Oct. 14. The controversy is sponsored by the mammoth conglomerate Nexstar Media Group, “which owns a number of tv stations in Georgia, together with WSAV in Savannah,” based on GPB.
In an e mail to GPB, Walker’s marketing campaign crew stated it had accepted the Nexstar debate as a result of the “format and the moderators are honest and would enable every candidate equal alternative to share their message.”
However it’s additionally extraordinarily seemingly that the Walker camp actually needed this explicit debate as a result of, based on the phrases as revealed on GPB, the “subject[s] might be offered to the campaigns previous to the printed,” though “particular questions is not going to.”
