Republican U.S. Senate candidate for Georgia Herschel Walker described America as "the greatest country in the United States," This is just one in a long list of Walker-gaffes. Georgia is preparing for a runoff election on December 6th between Walker and Rev. Sen. Raphael Warnock. Senator Ted Cruz was stumping for Walker at an event for his election.

"Do you know we're the greatest country in the United States, in the world? Because we have the United States military," the Trump-endorsed said, according to Patriot Takes.

Aside from that, we have questions! Walker has a highly dubious history. Such as, he held a gun to his now ex-wife's head multiple times. Oh, hell, Walker has said he's held a gun to his own head while playing Russian Roulette -- as one does. He has lied about how many children he has had, and he lies so much that his son, Christian, has called him out publicly. Walker has been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and yet, not one of those personalities had the common sense to tell him to shut the fuck up. And, of course, he has funded abortions for some of his ex-girlfriends. It would be one thing if Walker was remorseful for his past, but he keeps lying about it.

In contrast, Warnock is a reverend who serves as senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, a position he's held since 2005. Both of Warnock's parents were also pastors. Warnock is not scandal-plagued. There is no weirdness about this guy.

So, how is it that a larger percent of evangelicals voted for Walker over Warnock? I need this to make sense. How does that happen?
