U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker has denied a report that an ex-girlfriend claimed he paid the cost of her abortion more than 10 years ago.
Heisman Trophy winner and Republican candidate for US Senate Herschel Walker speaks at a rally on May 23, 2022 in Athens, Georgia.Herschel Walker, a Georgia football icon and U.S. Senate hopeful, has denied a report in the Daily Beast that an ex-girlfriend claimed he paid the cost of her abortion more than 10 years ago, a claim that would seem to contradict his anti-abortion posture on the campaign trail.
"I can tell you right now, I never asked anyone to get an abortion," Walker told Sean Hannity. "I never paid for an abortion -- it's a lie." Walker has carved out a staunch anti-abortion position as a candidate for U.S. Senate, aligning himself with a bill proposed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., that would institute a national ban on abortions after 15 weeks.
"Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew his past. Every single one," Christian Walker wrote Monday. "He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it. I'm done."The younger Walker also leveled additional allegations against his father, who has attracted scrutiny in recent months for allegations of violence in his past.
