Herschel Walker Busted For Repeatedly Lying About His Academic Record

Herschel Walker is finding out just how much harder politics is than playing football.

Herschel Walker, the former NFL star running back, who is now former President Trump’s pick for Senate in Georgia, repeatedly lied about his academic background, a CNN report found.

Via CNN:

“For years, Herschel Walker has told the same inspiring story: that he graduated in the top 1% of his class at the University of Georgia. He’s told the story, according to a review of his speeches by CNN’s KFile, during motivational speeches over the years and as recently as 2017. The only problem: it’s not true.”

CNN found that he also made the claim during during a 2017 motivational speech.

Walker also made the claim during an interview on Sirius XM radio the same year. He alleged that he not only graduated, but graduated in the top one percent of the class.

Walker’s website also at one point boasted that he graduated valedictorian of his high school.

Walker’s website no longer says he was valedictorian, only noting that he graduated at the “top of his class.”

Now it all makes sense why Trump handpicked him.

Birds of a feather…
