A month ahead of the midterm elections, Herschel Walker, the Georgia Republican running for Senate, has been called out on social media by his son, who accused him of domestic abuse, lying, and hypocrisy. Here’s what to know:
, the Georgia Republican running for Senate, has been called out on social media by his son, who accused him of domestic abuse, lying, and hypocrisy in several posts on Monday and Tuesday. Christian Walker’s accusations followed a Monday report inalleging Herschel paid for an abortion for a girlfriend in 2009—which Herschel denies—despite running a hardline anti-abortion campaign.
The Daily Beast reported that a woman who was dating Herschel in 2009 became pregnant and that Walker persuaded her to get an abortion. The woman, who was not identified, saved the receipt she received from the abortion clinic, showed the news outlet the bank statement for money Walker sent her, and provided a ‘get well’ card with a handwritten note signed with an “H.” In a Tuesday video, Christian said, “It’s literally his handwriting in the card.
Walker’s lawyer told the Daily Beast that the accusation is false, and said, “All you want to do is run with stories to target Black conservatives.” In a statement shared after the story was published, Herschel said, “This is a flat-out lie – and I deny this in the strongest possible terms. This is another repugnant hatchet job from a democrat activist disguised as a reporter who has obsessively attacked my family and tried to tear me down since this race started.
Christian then denounced Herschel’s absence in his life and said he behaved violently with his mother. “I don’t care about someone who has a bad past and takes accountability,” Christian wrote. “But how DARE YOU LIE and act as though you’re some ‘moral, Christian, upright man.'”
