Fact-checking the Georgia Senate race: A round-up of claims in the pivotal contest between Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker.
However, uninsured Americans may have trouble accessing mental health care, at least on a continuing basis.Warnock, in a sermon, said police in Ferguson, Missouri, were manifesting their power in thuggish behavior. He was referring to a Justice Department report that said Ferguson police disproportionately targeted Black people with fines and penalties. Warnock in his sermon also referred to police violence in Selma in 1965.
Walker: Biden and Warnock "are spending $1.5 billion on ‘urban forestry’ and raising taxes on those making under $200k to pay for it."Walker is correct about the amount being spent on efforts to add more trees in cities. The Inflation Reduction Act signed by Biden includes $1.5 billion to plant more trees and fund related activities, especially in low-income neighborhoods that tend to have fewer trees than wealthier areas.
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee: Walker misled about "personally treating 4,500 veterans per year," about "graduating from college" and about "working in law enforcement."Walker has misrepresented his experience and credentials. He incorrectly said he treated 4,500 veterans. Walker did not graduate from college or work in law enforcement, contrary to his claims.
