The campaign of Herschel Walker, the former football star running for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia, canceled a planned fundraiser with a producer who had featured the image of a swastika made with vaccine needles in her Twitter profile.
The fundraiser was to have been at the Texas home of Bettina Sofia Viviano-Langlais, a donor and producer who is the owner of Accelerate Entertainment, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
