At one point Walker, who is backed by former president Donald Trump, claimed Senator Warnock has “empowered criminals to think they’re more powerful than the police.”
Warnock fired back, “We will see time and time again tonight, as we’ve already seen, that my opponent has a problem with the truth.”
As the crowd cheered, Warnock continued, “One thing I have not done, I’ve never pretended to be a police officer.” It was a reference to Walker’s repeated — and false — claims that he “worked in law enforcement” or had trained with the FBI.
Then, in a made-for-‘SNL’ moment, Walker responded by pulling out what the debate moderator called a “prop” badge and claimed, “I am work with many police officers.”
The resulting laughter from the audience made the scene all the more like an SNL skit.
He was scolded by the moderator for bringing a “prop” to the debate.
“It’s not a prop,” Walker claimed. “This is real.”

Earlier this year, Walker did tweet a photo of what he said was his honorary sheriff’s card from Cobb County. But that’s far from “working in law enforcement.” Being an honorary deputy, a local prosecutor told the AJC, is like having “a junior ranger badge.” Just don’t tell Elvis that.
