Walker’s connection to veterans group he claimed to have founded another in series of exaggerations he’s made to bolster resume

Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker has claimed that he has either founded, co-founded, or operated a charity group that has helped thousands of veterans cope with mental health issues, but an investigation by the Associated Press discovered that he is actually just a paid spokesperson.

“About fifteen years ago, I started a program called Patriot Support,” Walker said in an interview with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt last October.  In an interview with a Savannah television station, Walker claimed, “People need to know I started a military program, a military program that treats (thousands) of soldiers a year.”

Patriot Support is a program started by Universal Health Systems to assist veterans with behavioral health programs.  I hired Walker as a spokesperson, paying him more than $300,000 last year alone.  He has no operational role with UHS or the program.

The lie is another in a series of lies and exaggerations made by Walker about his career and life.  He claimed to have finished his college career at the University of Georgia, were he was a star football player, at top of his class, but in fact, he never graduated.  In 2020, he claimed to have invented a mist that killed the coronavirus; it didn’t.

Worse still, Patriot Support was investigated by the federal government and at least two dozen states, suspected of defrauding federal and state agencies for directing veterans with government-paid insurance into expensive programs they did not need.  The company paid more than $120 million to setting the cases.

Walker has a long, documented history of mental health issues he acknowledges.  He is reportedly bipolar, and he allegedly threatened bodily harm to his ex-wife.
