Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate for the US Senate in Georgia, denied that he paid for a woman's abortion in 2009.
According to the Daily Beast, Walker conceived a child with a woman he was dating in 2009, and then encouraged her to have an abortion as it was not the right time for him to have a child.
According to the report, Walker paid $700 to cover the costs of the procedure.
The woman received an extra $125 from Walker because she had a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic that performed the procedure.
The woman said she came forward with her story due to Walker's hypocrisy on the issue of abortion access.
Walker called the report a "hatchet job from a democrat activist."
Walker said he will be filing a lawsuit against the Daily Beast.
Hours after the Daily Beast report, Christian Walker criticized him in a series of posts. Christian Walker claimed that the GOP candidate's family had urged him not to run for office but he decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public. He said that you were not a family man when you threatened to kill us. A vocal Trump supporter, Christian Walker is a popular TikTok star. Walker responded to his son's rant by saying he loved him no matter what.
Walker supports a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, and even threat to a woman's life, as well as other hardline stances on abortion. Walker supports a nationwide ban on abortions after 15 weeks. Walker is set to face a Democratic Senator in a crucial electoral battle that could determine the control of the Senate, and the abortion allegations and backlash from his family could be a major blow.
