Herschel Walker is in a contentious race for the Georgia Senate seat in a battle against incumbent Raphael Warnock. The former football player has been called out for falsely claiming he has worked in law enforcement and during a recent debate flashed a badge that the moderator called a “prop.” Following that controversy, Walker is saying that the law enforcement badge is real and not fake. “That’s a badge that I was given by a police officer and I do have the badge I carry with me all the time.

It’s a real badge. It’s not a fake badge. It is a real badge,” Walker said during an interview with NBC News. Walker told NBC News Chief White House Correspondent and Co-Anchor of Weekend TODAY Kristen Welker that he has badges “from all over Georgia” and the badge he had in the interview was from his hometown Johnson County. “Everyone can make fun, but this badge give me the right- wait, let me finish.

If anything happened in this county. I have the right to work with the police getting things done,” he continued adding that he has “been working in law enforcement for years.” RELATED: Cedric The Entertainer Roasts Herschel Walker & His Senate Bid: “We Don’t Need To Add No More Crazy To That Mix” Walker continued, “I do training program but they get to get credit for it.
