Dr. Oz may be running for U.S. Senate, but the most embarrassing and chaotic Republican campaign right now is that of ex–NFL player turned ultraconservative politician Herschel Walker, who will face off against Georgia senator Raphael Warnock
in the November midterms. Walker, who has been endorsed by Donald Trump, styles himself as “pro-life,” has likened abortion to murder, and believes there should be no exceptions to abortion bans — including rape, incest, or endangerment of the mother’s life. Following a report that he’d paid for an ex-girlfriend’s abortion, Walker’s 23-year-old conservative-influencer son unleashed a Twitter rant denouncing his father’s behavior.
Walker has denied the woman’s claims via a lawyer, who accused the Daily Beast of targeting Black conservatives by running the story and asked the publication to reveal the woman’s identity. Walker has released acalling the woman’s allegations a “flat-out lie” and saying he plans to sue the Daily Beast for defamation.
The evening the story ran, Walker’s son Christian released a lengthy Twitter thread suggesting he’d stayed silent about his father’s behavior during the campaign. “Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office,” he wrote, “because we all knew his past. Every single one. 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.
