Herschel Walker took aim at campaign ad with ex-wife’s allegations: ‘I was going to blow my brains out’

An anti-Trump GOP group targeted Herschel Walker, the Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, with a new campaign ad that uses audio clips of his ex-wife accusing him of threatening to shoot her and other acts of violence while they were married

The Republican Accountability Project released a 30-second ad that begins with footage from Walker’s football career as a narrator says, “Think you know Herschel Walker? Well, think again.”

“Listen to what his ex-wife said about him,” the narrator says before the ad cuts to Walker’s ex-wife, Cindy DeAngelis Grossman, who then describes the alleged threats Walker made against her.

“His eyes would get really bad,” Grossman says. “Guns and knives. I got into some choking stuff with him.”

In December, Walker told Axios that he is “responsible” for what he did in the past after being asked a question about his relationship with Grossman and said he has dealt with his mental health issues.

“I’m always responsible for everything I’ve done,” Walker said. “And that’s what I tell people: I’m responsible.”
