The Georgia Senate campaign of Herschel Walker took a major blow with his conservative base when a woman claimed that the 1982 Heisman trophy winner paid her to have an abortion. The woman said Walker paid for her to have an abortion in 2009. Walker vehemently denies the allegation, calling it “a flat-out lie,” and wrote a statement shortly after a media outlet published an article with the woman’s claims.
“I deny this in the strongest possible terms,” Walker said. “It’s disgusting, gutter politics,” said Walker, a Republican who’s gunning to unseat Sen. Raphael Warnock in next month’s midterm elections in Georgia. “I’m not taking this anymore. I’m planning to sue the Daily Beast for this defamatory lie.”
The media outlet first reported the news with details. The unnamed woman, who did not reveal her identity due to “privacy concerns,” alleges she became pregnant with Walker’s child in 2009. She then claims that Walker asked her to get an abortion and that she went through with it, with her saying Walker paid for the operation.
The woman reportedly provided an abortion clinic receipt for $575 and “a bank deposit receipt that included an image of a signed $700 personal check from Walker.” Additionally, there is an alleged “get well” card that Walker allegedly wrote and sent her after the procedure.
“I can tell you right now, I never asked anyone to get an abortion,” Walker said on Hannity. “I never paid for an abortion; it’s a lie.”
Now Walker’s very vocal conservative son, Christian Walker, is speaking out and attempting to expose his father’s campaign as a lie. He posted a video after the elder Walker’s denial and made a scorched-earth opus claiming that in the past his father threatened to kill him and his family.

“I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us,” Christian Walker said in a video posted to Twitter. “You’re not a ‘family man’ when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in six months running from your violence.
“I don’t care about someone who has a bad past and takes accountability. But how DARE YOU LIE and act as though you’re some ‘moral, Christian, upright man.’ You’ve lived a life of DESTROYING other peoples lives. How dare you.”
Christian then went further to discredit his father’s supposed family values that he touts to in pursuit of the U.S. Senate seat.

“I stayed silent as the atrocities against my mom were downplayed. I stayed silent when it came out that my father Herschel Walker had all these random kids across the country – none of whom he raised. And you know my favorite issue to talk about is father absence. Surprise! Because it affected me. That’s why I talk about it all the time because it affected me.
“Family values, people? He has four kids, four different women. Wasn’t in the house raising one of them. He was out having sex with other women. Do you care about family values? It was silent lie, after lie, after lie.”
