Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) tried to support Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker, but he looked desperate and pathetic.
Audio of Scott on The Hugh Hewitt Show:
Scott said, “This is the 101 playbook for Democrats. They know they are going to lose. Herschel Walker is having a good run. He is an excellent candidate. Raphael Warnock is Joe Biden. And you know, it’s all lies and cheats and slander. That’s what Democrats do. They did it to Brett Kavanaugh. They did it to Clarence Thomas. They do it at Herschel Walker. But he will win.
Listening to Scott trying to make Herschel Walker a viable candidate is sad. Herschel Walker is not leading in a single poll, and claiming that a losing candidate will win is a campaign tactic as old as the hills. By repeating the assertion that Walker will win, Republicans are trying to convince voters to place themselves on the “winning side”, which is in fact the side that is currently losing.
Rick Scott faces a lot of heat if he fails to get the Republicans back to a majority in the Senate. Senator Scott is another Republican who aligned himself with Trump and waved his pom-poms aside as Trump picked one bad Senate candidate after another for the GOP.
The odds are that Herschel Walker will lose a close election in Georgia. Walker is probably toast, and Rick Scott’s efforts to support him were pathetic.
