[VIDEO] Let me just state that I hear conventional wisdom that debates really don't move a needle either way between any two or more candidates. Voters who watch these debates have already made up their mind about who they're voting for.
I saw a clip of the Georgia senate debate between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock - my Morehouse brother who is also pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church which is MLK's church - and former NFL and Dallas Cowboys star Republican Herschel Walker. Sen. Warnock made a crack about Walker posing as a police officer and Walker pulls out his badge. The badge was derided by debate moderators as a prop, so many believed that badge Walker showed was a fake.
Well, Walker discusses with NBC his badge which he claimed was given to him by the Sheriff of Johnson County who verified that Walker was given an honorary badge and can be called upon if needed. So I would never say if Walker's badge was fake, however, it was bad form to flash it during a debate like that. If he already isn't a great candidate, then why add fuel to the fire that he may well be posing as if he really is a police officer.
Anyway I was surprised to see NBC do this story. I don't know how much impact this police badge thing will have on this senate race. We shall see if Mr. Walker is able to defeat the incumbent Warnock.
