Since announcing his candidacy for US Senate in August 2021, Herschel Walker has given the people of Georgia an extremely long list of reasons to cast their ballot for his opponent, Raphael Warnock. Those reasons include but are in no way limited to:

• Being so staunchly antiabortion that he wants the medical procedure outlawed without exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother
• Allegedly pressuring at least two women he’d impregnated to undergo abortions despite the above and the fact that he’s said he’d vote for a national ban on the procedure
• Demonizing trans people
• Not believing in evolution
• Admitting he nearly killed his wife, and having a protective order taken out against him for threatening to do so
• Caring more about guns than people
• Seemingly exhibiting the signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain condition caused by repeated blows to the head, possibly from his time playing football
• Being, in the words of his own campaign staff, a “pathological liar” who lies “like he’s breathing”
• Lying about owning businesses that do not actually exist
• Lying about graduating in the top 1% of his college class when he did not actually graduate from college
• Being endorsed by the worst president in modern history
• Spending election night talking about horse shit
• Dedicating a large chunk of a recent speech to tangent about why he wants to be a werewolf (as opposed to a vampire)

And now, with his runoff set for next week, they have another reason: that Walker, who, again, is running to represent Georgia, does not actually…live in Georgia. Oops!

Yes, one week after it emerged that Walker is receiving Texas state tax benefits on a home in Dallas listed as his “principal residence,” a new review of campaign speeches shows him telling people as late as January that he was living in the Lone Star State. Per CNN’s KFile:

“I live in Texas,” Walker said in January of this year, when speaking to University of Georgia College Republicans. Walker was criticizing Democrats for not visiting the border when he made the comments. “I went down to the border off and on sometimes,” he said.

Earlier in the speech, Walker said he decided to run for Georgia’s Senate seat while at his Texas home after seeing the country divided. “Everyone asks me, why did I decide to run for a Senate seat? Because to be honest with you, this is never something I ever, ever, ever thought in my life I’d ever do,” said Walker. “And that’s the honest truth. As I was sitting in my home in Texas, I was sitting in my home in Texas, and I was seeing what was going on in this country. I was seeing what was going on in this country with how they were trying to divide people.”

A CNN KFile review of some of Walker’s media appearances and events from 2021 and 2022 finds Walker appeared on Fox News and other conservative media from his Texas home at least four times after announcing his candidacy for Georgia’s Senate seat. The interviews at his Texas home took place twice in September 2021 and in February and March of 2022.

Oh, well, it’s not as though one is actually constitutionally required to be a resident of the state they represent in Congress, or that this further cements Walker’s reputation as a pathological liar!
