As far as I can tell, the following is the case: Walker threatened violence during that period but was not actually violent. That does not minimize the frightening nature of the threats, but there actually is a difference between threats that are carried out and threats that are not carried out. But the second point is that the allegations are quite old and there are no allegations in recent years, after he’s had treatment. So the question becomes: if he’s not done any of this stuff for fifteen or twenty years, what does it mean for him now? At what point is that sort of thing behind a person? Or is it never behind a person?

Obviously, it would be preferable to have a candidate with no such history. But no one can say that this history of Walker’s was hidden. It had been in the news long ago, and he wrote a book about it in 2008.

Kristol’s activities the last seven years have called into question the probity of his entire career. Ditto the crowd at The Bulwark, The Dispatch, and, in a more attenuate way, National Review.

The state commissioner of agriculture ran. He’s pro-Trump. For some reason, Trump did not endorse him and he was outpolled by HW by a margin of 5-1. Makes no sense to me, as the Republican electorate was perfectly capable of rejecting Trump’s endorsed candidates in other races and there are all these distractions and embarrassments in re HW. I don’t really understand what motivates people in a voting booth.

We’re not talking about whether a person is forgiven or their quality as a human being. The issue is whether a person is a good candidate for the Senate. I wish Hershel Walker and his family the best, but, he is not a good candidate and it would have been much better for the Republican Party (and maybe even for Hershel Walker’s family) if he hadn’t run for public office.

Walker and his wife Cindy Grossman were divorced after a 16 year marriage in 2002, about the same time Walker sought treatment for his violent outbursts.
While they were married, Grossman was confused and frightened by Walker’s behavior, but she said “the diagnosis now makes it much more understandable”.
Beyond the violence, speaking about what she experienced, Grossman recalled the different alters or personalities that her husband would change into, saying: “It’s hard to explain, but even his physical countenance would change… There was also a very sweet, loveable [personality]. That’s the one he told me I married. He told me I didn’t marry Herschel.”

Hear is the smear that Bill Kristol and his Republicans Accountability PAC. Scroll further down and see Warnock’s ex-wife talks about Warnock’s abuse and child neglect.

The interview with Grossman that Kristol pulled the clip from, included Walker. It was intended to help others understand the illness.

I realize being disingenuous is your signature. We’ve already been over the reasons the whole episode looks fishy:

1. He had no experience in that sector.

2. He had no experience supervising a double-digit staff.

3. The business he ran from his house was not sold. The corporation is classified as ‘inactive’.

4. They hired co-incident with his installation an ‘executive vice president’.

5. He announced his departure after less than a year on the job, in order to seek a ceremonial public office.
