    What did McConnell say about the “quality” of candidates…??

    “Mr. Walker called the report a lie, after The Daily Beast, which has also broken news about Mr. Walker’s out-of-wedlock children, reported that a former girlfriend had the procedure in 2009.”

    As evidence, the woman provided a copy of a $700 check from Mr. Walker, a receipt from the abortion clinic and a “get well” card from Mr. Walker, The Daily Beast reported. The outlet published a photo of the card with what it said was Mr. Walker’s signature.”

    Oh…and just to help his cause further….his son has something to say…

    “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.”

    @ChristianWalk1r



    Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew (some of) 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.

    Yea Jack well, that was when we were told he was going to “get in front of his past and tell the truth.” You know, before he started lying about my mom and his behavior.

    I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us. 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.

    I don’t care about someone who has a bad past and takes accountability. But how DARE YOU LIE and act as though you’re some “moral, Christian, upright man.” You’ve lived a life of DESTROYING other peoples lives. How dare you.

    Herschel Walker responded only by tweeting: “I LOVE my son no matter what.”

    But it did little to placate his son, who replied: “You have 4 kids that we know of and you weren’t in the house raising ONE of them, you were out cheating and lying. If you loved your kids you’d be raising them instead of running for a senate race to boost your ego.” He deleted that tweet shortly after posting it.

    This is a bit tricky for Republicans.

    On the one hand, Walker is a Republican, which generally means Republicans just won't care. Dr Scott DesJarlais cheated on his wife with multiple women, one of them a patient, and pressured one to get an abortion. He has been re-elected to Congress multiple times since that all came to light. So, allegations (with evidence) that he paid for an abortion and allegations from his son that he was violent & cheated on his wife usually come under the 'its OK when conservatives do it' rule - just pretend it didn't happen. Maybe they wil lallege 'Democrat racism' for a laugh.

    On the other hand, Walker is one of 'those people'. Not usually the sort of person Republicans want representing them in Congress. So, they might just 'walk away', so to speak.

    He still is either neck to neck or slightly ahead in the polls. I can't imagine him having to publicly speak on national issues. No doubt he will need numerous handlers.

    Doesn’t sound like a guy I would vote for but his son doesn’t seem like a very good person either. Saying his dad decided to air the dirty laundry yet it seems the son is doing all the airing of laundry

    It's borderline abuse by the people who encouraged Walker to run.

    It's like Lenny from of Mice and Men is running for Senate.
