Well, I don\u2019t think he knows Herschel Walker, and he sent the letter at 10 o\u2019clock asking me to resign, or they\u2019re going to fire me at six. So, I said I\u2019m not going to quit. So I reckon they\u2019re going to fire me. But I haven\u2019t gotten the letter that they\u2019ve fired me yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Walker speculated the notice was intended to throw him \u201coff track\u201d but insisted the effort would not be successful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, you know, it\u2019s very interesting because I\u2019m not supposed to use the council while I\u2019m out campaigning,\u201d Walker added. \u201cAnd I never have used the council while I\u2019ve been campaigning. And that\u2019s what was so strange \u2014 they sent me the letter while I\u2019m out campaigning, raising money because I\u2019m going to win this Senate seat. And I think that\u2019s what they thought they could do \u2014 throw me off track. But this letter is not going to do that. The way they throw me off track is they\u2019re going to have to show me these policies they\u2019re making right now is going to be great for Georgia and great for America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jeff_poor\">@jeff_poor<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, the Biden administration asked for the resignations of Herschel Walker, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia, and Mehmet Oz, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, two Trump-appointed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1400159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1400159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1400159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1400159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1400159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1400159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1400159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
