No Way Walker: Macon voices voting against Herschel

MACON, Ga. (WGXA) -- Macon voters held a press conference Thursday to voice their concerns about Senatorial Candidate Herschel Walker.

Their message urged voters to look at what they call a pattern of lies Walker continues to walk in, and hear why they are telling voters to vote Democrat.

Georgia's House Minority Leader, Republican James Beverly, was in attendance and spoke at the event, saying, "Walker has a long history of disturbing conduct that he’s never taken accountability for — and Georgians deserve to know all of the facts before they make their decision. The whole point of serving in the Senate is to help people — but it appears Walker is only interested in helping himself. Small businesses and workers in Georgia deserve leaders who will fight for them, not lie to them.”

This following another report of a second woman who came forward regarding allegations she made of Walker pressuring her into having an abortion.

With two days left in early voting, speakers wanted voters to make their voices heard.

One of those speakers, a Macon mother and domestic violence survivor,Caly Hess, who spoke about Walker's pattern of 'disturbing behavior' and its effects on her life and the morals she teaches her sons.

Hess stated, "Politics is a public crucible; we learn who a candidate is as a campaign marches on. Everything we've learned about Herschel Walker is terrifying. He's a danger to our community, and our country. We need to do more than defeat him at the ballot box —we need to send a message that dangerously under-qualified and morally bankrupt candidates like him are less than we deserve.”

Veteran and former Milledgeville Mayor, Floyd Griffin, addressed Walker's alleged lies regarding charity for veterans who have given their lives for the country we live in.

Griffin informed voters that “Walker has repeatedly lied about founding a charity for veterans--serving as a spokesperson for a private hospital chain’s for-profit program that ‘preyed upon veterans and service members while defrauding the government. It is shameless and extremely inappropriate for anyone to prey on veterans and their families, let alone someone trying to serve in the United States Senate. Georgia deserves a Senator who remains committed to the values we stand for. And luckily, that’s who Senator Reverend Warnock is.”

Each speaker's unanimous message: Walker has not earned citizen's vote to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
