Herschel Walker's campaign for Senate removed a false claim -- which inaccurately said the Republican candidate graduated from the University of Georgia -- from a website for his Senate bid, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
Walker's campaign deleted the claim, which said that the former football star had "graduated from UGA with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice," after the Atlanta-based paper asked about the reference Thursday, according to the AJC.
Walker -- a Republican frontrunner in the race for Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock's seat who has racked up high-profile endorsements from both former President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell -- released a statement to the AJC on his college trajectory.
