Walker Pulls Out Toy Police Badge At Debate
"I am work with many police officers."
In Friday night’s debate for one of Georgia’s Senate seats, Raphael Warnock was pointing out a difference between himself and Herschel “China’s Bad Air” Walker — “I've never pretended to be a police officer and I've never threatened a shootout with the police” — when Walker reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a toy sheriff’s badge.
The moderator reminded Walker that props were against the rules of the debate. He needed to be told this several times before finally obeying. It was like a chatty kindergartner being admonished by his teacher to be quiet during nap time (“Mr. Walker, you are very aware of the rules, aren’t you?”) Walker also demonstrated that he doesn’t know what “prop” means. He actually said: “It’s not a prop, this is real.”
Walker has previously flashed his fake badge as “proof” of the false claim he worked in law enforcement. The badge is exactly like something every kid would be given at the end of a police station tour or something you’d get in a box of breakfast cereal. Twitter has dunked on Walker when he’s flashed his fake badge before. One said the “KISS Army membership card” he had as a child was more legit. Even members of Congress joined the fun. California’s Jared Huffman: “United Airlines once gave my son a little pin with wings on it. He was smart enough to know that didn’t make him a real pilot.” Arizona’s Ruben Gallego: “My son got a Paw Patrol badge. Think that gives you both the same authority.”
Warnock’s decision to not attack Walker for his literally endless amount of lies has always seemed like a bad strategy. There are ways to remind people that Walker is absolutely unfit without making it look like you’re punching a kitten.
