Sen. Rick Scott: Dems 'Smear' Herschel Walker Because They're Losing

Democrats are heaving desperate "lies" and "smear" campaigns at Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker because they know incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., is going to lose, according to Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla.

"This is just textbook 101 for the Democrats," Scott told Hugh Hewitt's podcast. "They know they're going to lose. Herschel Walker is running a good race. He's a great candidate."

Scott, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, noted President Joe Biden's struggling economy is unpopular to run on, so they lean on abortion and old political smear campaigns.

"Raphael Warnock is Joe Biden, and you know, it's just lies, cheat, and smear: That's what the Democrats do," Scott told Hewitt. "They did it to Brett Kavanaugh. They did it to Clarence Thomas. They're doing it to Herschel Walker. But he's going to win, and so we're going to win in Georgia."

Democrats have little to campaign on, and even less energy to do it, according to Scott.

"There's no energy on the Democrat side," he said. "It's like Hillary Clinton. There was no energy for Hillary Clinton. There's no energy for Joe Biden's agenda. So here's what they have to do. The only way they can possibly win is just smear the living daylights out of our candidates. So that's what they do."

Among the potential Senate seats to flip, Scott handicapped those race. "No. 1 is Nevada. No. 2 is Georgia; No. 3 would be somewhere between Arizona, Colorado, and Washington," Scott said. "They're all winnable, and we've got great candidates. Joe Biden is under 40[% approval] in all those states, and our Democrat opponent is way under 50."

Democrat cheat and they lie.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Democrats are after him because they’re racists.

[Spok]

Democrats hate uppity black men. They want them destitute and in the ghetto-plantation where they belong.

Yeah, um, Senator Scott, they could just cheat again in Atlanta. They’re going to cheat, it’s only a matter of how much.

[Kathy in OC]

So now that Walker has pretty much admitted it’s true and the woman has spoken out publicly so the allegations are no longer an anonymous smear job, does anything change? It’s more evidence that he is a liar and a hypocrite.

[Lower Deck]

On the plus side the Democrats can’t label him a pro-Abortion now.

If you like Biden’s policies, if you want to empower the Democrats, if you want to give control of the Senate to the Democrats, by all means withhold your vote from Walker.
