Rep. Austin Scott: Walker lost because RNC, senators ‘gave up on him,’ allowed Dems to control narrative on Warnock
Rep. Austin Scott discusses Herschel Walker’s loss last night to Senator Raphael Warnock and his concerns over recent reports that Russia reaped $1 billion of wheat from the occupied regions of Ukraine. The Georgia Congressman comments that he doesn’t know who is responsible for the loss of Herschel Walker, “but it's a problem for us back home and it hurt us in this election.” Saying, if Republicans “had handled the Stacey Abrams election the same way, Governor Kemp would not have won by the margins that he did.” Scott says, “Abrams was identified for her being a liberal and Raphael Warnock got to run away with pretending that he was a moderate, because the DC establishment Republicans wouldn't call him out for what he was doing.” The Congressman comments that this, combined with the Georgia “Republican lieutenant governor Jeff Duncan continuing to tarnish [Walker],” plus “the amount of money that was spent in ads that were false about Herschel Walker, and then “Republicans refusal to call Warnock out for the legislation that he's writing” and still “look how slim the margin edge.” Scott says, “the National Republican Party, the Senatorial Committee, they didn't do the job for Herschel, it's like they gave up on him.”
