While campaigning in Georgia for Sen. Raphael Warnock’s opponent, former President Barack Obama called out GOP Senate Candidat Herschel Walker.
Obama told an Atlanta audience, “Since my last visit, apparently, he also claimed he used to let him beat me at basketball,” according to a clip of his speech. “But then, he admitted that he had never met me.” This was probably more of an imaginary whooping.
The laughter of the crowd was shared by him.
Walker claimed that Obama played basketball at least three times between 2017-2020, and that he allowed him to win. HuffPost reported.On Fox News Radio, however, the GOP candidate stated that he had never met the former president.
Obama continued Thursday, “Now, listen. This would be funny, if he weren’t running for Senate.”
Obama stated, “When again and again you tell bald-faced liars, that speaks volumes about your character and what kind of leader would you be if elected to serve the United States Senate.” According to the Associated Press.
Tuesday, December 6th will be the US Senate runoff in Georgia between GOP candidate Walker (left) and incumbent Democratic Democratic candidate Warnock (right).
