Herschel Walker Fundraiser Had Swastika In Twitter Profile

October 13, 2021 at 5:11 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker (R) “canceled a fundraiser with a conservative film producer who until Wednesday used a rendering of a swastika as her Twitter profile picture,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

The campaign initially contended the symbol wasn’t a swastika but a sign of opposition to vaccine requirements.
