Via AP:

“But an Associated Press review of hundreds of pages of public records tied to Walker’s business ventures and his divorce, including many not previously reported, sheds new light on a turbulent personal history that could dog his Senate bid. The documents detail accusations that Walker repeatedly threatened his ex-wife’s life, exaggerated claims of financial success and alarmed business associates with unpredictable behavior.”

Twitter reacted to the news:

"In 2008, he wrote about having dissociative identity disorder… Walker's ex-wife, Cindy, said that he had violent episodes in their marriage, including holding a gun to her head — CNN reported he did not deny, saying he had blackouts and memory loss." –People 3/2021

Counterpoint: He played football for UGA and led them to the national championship and three SEC titles. Those are strong political credentials in Georgia.

Walker is EXACTLY the kind of candidate Trump would recruit: Wife abuser who exaggerated his success. Trump can REALLY relate to someone like that.#trumpIStheGOP #GAsen #ETTD https://t.co/T6najNsJwt

This muthafucka is looney as Trump…..and those dumb bastards in Georgia will probably elect him. Too many close to him said he's nuts and dangerous! https://t.co/y4RcxOHASc

At least now I know why Trump is so determined to get him to run. https://t.co/2GaD1I3fBp

Trump’s affiliation with Herschel isn’t helping his cause.

Herschel really wants that Senate seat, but be careful what you wish for.

Walker did not respond to requests for comment.
