Herschel Walker pulls out of Greene event after her speech at white nationalist conference

Georgia Republican Senate candidate and former NFL star Herschel Walker is backing out of a planned speech at an event organized by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after she attended a white nationalist conference.

Walker, the frontrunner in the GOP primary to challenge Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), was previously slated to speak at Greene’s “Second Amendment and Freedom Rally” in Rome, Ga. on Saturday. His campaign confirmed on Tuesday that he will no longer address the event.

Walker's decision was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The rally is still expected to draw several other high-profile Republicans, including Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), who’s challenging Gov. Brian Kemp in Georgia’s gubernatorial primary, and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), a far-right Florida congressman and close ally of Greene.

That's hilarious!
I am surprised that Perdue would still attend, but not at all by Kemp and Gaetz.
I guess sucking up is all FORMER Senator Perdue has left. Sad indeed.

Voting for a POS like MGT and then the ones who will vote for a crazy person with no political experience or qualifications like Walker.
