HERSCHEL FACTS

I oppose Medicaid expansion, which would benefit tens of thousands of Georgians and create jobs, saying, “Medicaid has not been good. Right now, expanding is going to continue to bankrupt us. Everyone knows that.”

I have described fatherless Black families as a “major, major problem” in the US. Last year, I told conservative celebrities Diamond and Silk that the typical irresponsible Black father “leaves the boys alone so they’ll be raised by their mom”, I said. “If you have a child with a woman, even if you have to leave that woman – even if you have to leave that woman – you don’t leave that child.” I say this cuz it makes me look good even though we all know my truth.

My history of terrorizing women through violent threats and stalking is well-documented, as well as my shameful failure to recognize the multiple children I have fathered.

I recently showed that I has no understanding of how a major hospital closure would impact the health care that Georgians rely on. When I was asked about Wellstar’s intention to close the Atlanta Medical Center — one of the largest health care providers in Georgia — I said: “So I think what people need to do first is talk to Wellstar, and see what the problem is, then try to solve that problem.”

I opposed the Inflation Reduction Act despite the much-needed relief it provides for the people of Georgia by fighting inflation, capping the cost of insulin, and lowering the cost of life-saving prescription drugs.

I confirmed my support for a national abortion ban, outlawing abortion without exceptions for rape, incest, or even to save the life of the mother — saying, there’s “no exception in [my] mind.”
