‘You are not a family man’


U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker’s campaign was in turmoil Monday after his adult son accused him of threatening to kill family members, an accusation that came after a news outlet reported the Republican paid his then-girlfriend in 2009 to have an abortion.

Walker, who staunchly opposes abortion, condemned the report by The Daily Beast as a “flat-out lie” and pledged to sue the publication. But his campaign was further rocked when Christian Walker sent a series of tweets attacking his father for “making a mockery” of the family.

“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 6 months running from your violence,” wrote Christian Walker, who hasn’t endorsed his father’s campaign or appeared publicly at his events.


In another exchange, Christian Walker tweeted that “every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office because we all knew (some of) his past.”

“He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it,” he wrote.

I love the way right wingers call abortion murder but go quiet when one of your candidates is caught paying for his girlfriend/ mistress to have one, or two in the case of DesJarlais. Well, are they murderers or not?

Freaking hypocrites.

All the gop needed in GA was a decent candidate who could give a good speech, hold their own in a debate, and pass a basic background check. It is amazing how badly they managed to screw this up

They are banking on his name carrying him. I doubt it does with how all around bad he is and Warnock being the incumbent.

In football world this family stuff doesnt get as much attention as it will in the political world.
 
Add 3-5 points to that for Walker for the hidden vote.
Trafalgar Group is a Republican-leaning pollster which does factor in a "social desirability" effect. That is the hypothesized tendency of voters to tell pollsters what they think they want to hear. So, basically, they have already added those points you are describing as being "hidden." In 2016, they were spot on with this theory in the Presidential Election. In 2020, however, they had Trump winning Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. He lost all 4 of them.

It’s absolutely sickening and it shows everything that’s wrong with tribal politics. Everybody knows Walker is horrible but that Trump endorsement makes people put their heads up their asses. I don’t know what’s worse, the Walker candidacy or the fact that he might actually win.

I hope he wins.

Some of us just like to watch the world burn.

I hope he wins too. It just amazes me that we’re in a world where he’s the better alternative lol. It shows how whackadoodle the Democrat Party has gone nationally.
 
Herschel Walker is running as a Pro-Life hardliner, who is in favor of abortion bans without exceptions made for rape and incest. He has even likened abortion to murder ... But he paid for his girlfriend's abortion???

Even by the standards of politicians, that is an epic level of hypocrisy that you don't often see. I don't think we are finished with these October surprises for Herschel either. There is definitely more to come.

He is not a better to alternative to anyone. Herschel is a reflection of how bad things have gotten for Republicans; not Democrats. That was a stupid comment of yours.

Epic hypocrisy, you say?

Sounds like he's a perfect fit for DC.

That’s not even the problem with Walker though. People change their stances over time regardless of what they may have actually been doing. Hillary Clinton used to be a Republican. Ronald Reagan used to be a Democrat. I used to drink PBR.

The problem is we’ve completely traded ability to serve for electability. That’s how we get a Preacher vs a mentally disabled football hero running for the US Senate. It’s mind numbing.
