U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker pulled out of an upcoming event organized by Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor -- who's come under fire for speaking at an event hosted by white nationalists who praised Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
