Ads claim that Herschel Walker misled about treating veterans, graduating from college and working in law enforcement. The record shows Walker has misrepresented his experience and credentials on multiple occasions.
Walker has said that he graduated from the University of Georgia, where he was a star running back before playing in the United States Football League and later the National Football League, but that’s not true.
Walker’s campaign website on Dec. 16, 2021, posted that Walker graduated from the University of Georgia, but removed the reference hours later, after the Atlanta Journal-Constitution inquired about it, the newspaperThe University of Georgia confirmed to PolitiFact that Walker did not graduate. He attended the school for three years.Walker has said he worked in law enforcement, but in response to news stories refuting his statements, his campaign has said that he supports law enforcement.
The newspaper said the claims were not true. Walker’s campaign told the Journal-Constitution that Walker was an honorary deputy in Cobb County along with three other Georgia counties that the campaign did not specify. The newspaper said the Cobb County Police Department said it had no record of involvement with Walker and the Cobb Sheriff’s Office could not say whether he was an honorary deputy.
