Former President Obama spoke during Warnock’s campaign, mentioning Walker’s debate of “whether it’s better to be a vampire or a werewolf. This is a debate that, I must confess, I once had myself. When I was seven.” Fmr. President Obama: "[Herschel] Walker has been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of Georgia. Like whether it's better to be a vampire or werewolf. This is a debate that, I must confess, I once had myself. When I was seven." https://t.co/lnf9Mj6aff pic.twitter.com/5UDwfFnrYZ — MSNBC (@MSNBC) December 2, 2022 The campaign ran into other moments, when Warnock also made a mockery of the former NFL players false statements claiming he worked as a cop. Nothing topped the moment when, Senator Lindsey Graham in so many words addressed Walker as a token for the Republican party. “Walker changes the entire narrative… We’re a party of racists, Sean, me and you are racist and the party is racist and what happens when the Republican party elects and nominates Walker.” Graham: Walker changes the entire narrative… We're a party of racists, Sean, me and you are racist and the party is racist and what happens when the Republican party elects and nominates Walker pic.twitter.com/9NvpZ4cvs3 — Acyn (@Acyn) October 27, 2022 Oddly the runoff was close, but Warnock was able to speak with his supporters.“After a hard-fought campaign, or should I say campaigns, it is my honor to utter the four most powerful words ever spoken in a democracy: The people have spoken,” he said.
