Democrats are escalating their attacks on Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker with a new television ad that calls attention to the violent episodes in Walker’s past.
“Herschel Walker has repeatedly threatened to kill his ex-wife,” begins the narrator of the 30-second spot from Georgia Honor, a political organization closely affiliated with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his Senate Majority PAC.
The ad, shared first with NBC News, starts airing Wednesday as part of a $33 million blitz that the group has planned through Election Day. It represents the first substantial effort by national Democrats to amplify abuse allegations against Walker, a former University of Georgia football star who played in the NFL. Walker easily won a GOP primary in May, despite a rival’s attempts to call attention to his baggage and warn that it could be a liability in the general election.
Walker's threats and alleged menacing behavior toward his ex-wife, Cindy Grossman, and other women date to at least 2001, according to police records obtained by NBC News and other outlets. Walker was never criminally charged. But he and Grossman discussed several incidents publicly after Walker's 2008 memoir described his being diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, or DID, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. Walker has said he developed “alters” to deal with stress and trauma, and he has noted how memory loss is a symptom of DID.

Smears. That’s all the commie RATS have. Friggin’ unAmerican pigs.
That must be racist. Oh wait. Walker is a Republican. He doesn’t count. Silly me.
I think black men will stand up for him at the polls. They have first hand knowledge wha a black woman will do. Could be wrong.
Whoa...threats against the ex-wife...I thought they had pictures of him dressed in Confederate uniform...
several good polls out for walker now.. he might be able to pull off a victory here.
“The ad, shared first with NBC News”
Outright collaberation
Yep, this isn’t the 1960s. Divorce isn’t much an issue to the American voter. It helps that the two best presidents in the last century were both divorcees.
Well, there goes the nasty ex-wife vote. Republican John Rowland called his worse, and he still got elected as a Republican governor of Connecticut before going to jail.
I guess it’s okay now to talk about Joe taking showers with his pubescent daughter, right?
33 million just in Georgia? They are really afraid of Herschel.
Yup, just ask this guy:
Ordnance? They shoot at you now for street racing?
“according to police records obtained by NBC News and other outlets”
So the “news” outlets are sifting through police records to help the rats keep the Senate. Imagine what would be found if they made similar efforts with rat candidates.
Only very low IQ voters would fall for that. I guess Georgia is chock full of those.
I didn’t believe the Trafalgar poll with Walker up 2, but now I do. They wouldn’t be running these ads in August if he was trailing.
I’m pretty sure the Nothing But Chickensh*t Network and other news toilets knew they’d come up with something being that Herschel Walker is black. Racist piggies.
Unfortunately, Republicans are more likely than not to fall for it.
