For Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign, hitting fans is a classic pattern. On the second night, The Daily Beast published a report detailing an abortion that the Georgia Senate candidate paid for in 2009. The woman, who contacted The Daily Beast after hearing Herschel protest her anti-abortion views, corroborated her story by providing a bank deposit receipt that included a picture of a signed $700 personal check from Walker, a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic and a “get well soon” card from Walker. The candidate, who hid that he was pregnant with an illegitimate child earlier that year, is said to have told her it was not the right time to have another child.
Well, duh. Walker spewed out A stream of lies longer than the Chattahoochee River since his campaign officially launched in August 2021. The Daily Beast’s report pays particular attention to abortion access as one of the most significant issues. in the 2022 election cycle. He espoused a hardline conservative stance, calling for a abortion even in cases of rape and incest.
Walker’s son Christian, ironically a more effective conservative firefighter than his father, denounced his father’s campaign on Tuesday as reported by The Daily Beast. Just days after praising Ron De Santis as a generation leader for cooking hash at a diner, Christian tweeted: “Every member of Herschel Walker’s family is asking him not to run because of all we both know (some of) his past. One by one. He decided to give us his middle finger and dump all his dirty clothes in public, while lying about it. I’ve done.”
In case the tweet wasn’t strong enough, Christian Walker also set the record in a video posted on his Twitter account on Tuesday.

Christian added, “I know my mom and I would really appreciate it if my dad Herschel Walker stopped lying and making fun of us. He was not a ‘family man’ when he left us to beat up a bunch of women, threaten to kill us and force us to move house more than 6 times in 6 months because of his abuse. “
Conservatives from the personal responsibility camp blamed Christian for exposing his father’s dirty laundry rather than Herschel Walker himself for his own careless actions, which could explain why Why does he choose to let the number of children he has go unnoticed. It is one thing to protect your children and it is another to conceal your child’s existence.
Deception has been at the core of Herschel Walker’s campaign from Leap Forward. He lied about living in Georgia. He lied about being an FBI agent. He lied about being valedictorian. He accepted the Big Lie.
The race for the Georgia Senate should have been a battle of wits. Instead, Republicans do not appear to want to satisfy their preferences at all costs. Walker was asked by Trump to join the race because the party really needed a Black conservative to remove Black voters from incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock. Since then, Walker has refused to contest the primaries and has remained incoherent when discussing policy positions. Walker’s ego causes him to run for office with no legislative experience and no ties to politics beyond his personal friendship with Trump.
After ignoring his family’s advice, his children will be the cause of his political downfall. Walker hasn’t run as poorly since he was a Dallas Cowboy in the mid-1980s, he’s within the margin of error in most polls. As neat as tying a pretty bow on the Herschel Walker story and pretending that this was the last argument that broke the “bend, don’t break” spine of the Walker campaign, there was a surge of enthusiasm. increase for this disclosure.
Conservative commentator Eric Erickson has gone from calling the revelations from The Daily Beast a knockout blow to discuss how it has become a boon to the campaign. The growing excitement for Walker shows that abortion was never the moral underpinning of the GOP’s opposition to abortion rights, but rather about political convenience coupled with a desire to control women’s bodies. party women.
