Herschel Walker’s campaign has falsely claimed he graduated from college, repeating something that’s proliferated in online bios, at a political rally, and even when the Senate GOP candidate was introduced for a congressional hearing. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…

Here’s a sampling of where the false claim has showed up, starting with the now-deleted reference on Walker’s campaign website. #gapol #gasen

In a statement to the @ajc, Walker acknowledged that he didn’t graduate from UGA despite claims otherwise.
“After playing with the New Jersey Generals, I returned to Athens to complete my degree, but life and football got in the way.” #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…

@ajc Walker's top GOP rival, @GaryBlackForGA, responds: “We need leaders in Washington who tell the truth. Trick play artists are a dime a dozen. This is another reason Herschel Walker would lose to Warnock. The list is long and, sadly, growing.” #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…

Here’s how Walker was introduced at a recent rally in Augusta. #gapol #gasen

Dan Gottlieb of the @GeorgiaDemocrat party: “From lying about personal accomplishments to exaggerating his own business success, Walker is showing Georgia voters exactly who he is — a dishonest fraud who has no place in the Senate." #gapol
