‘I’ve already been forgiven’: HerschelWalker offers terse defense amid abortion scandal
Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker offered a terse defense Thursday, declaring that he has"already been forgiven" as fallout from the abortion scandal continues to fester.
Recently, the Daily Beast revealed that the woman at the heart of its report on Monday, which unleashed a firestorm against Walker, was the mother of one of his children and wanted to stay anonymous for protection. She is a registered Democrat. The initial report cited a"get well" card and receipts as evidence he encouraged the abortion.
"I haven’t sat down with him since this story came out about me having other kids," Herschel Walker told Hewitt about his son."I think he’s extremely hurt from that, and that was totally, totally not true. And that’s what’s so sad, and we haven’t talked about it. ... I love Christian. I love him with all my heart."
