U.S. Senate Candidate Herschel Walker Gets Dragged On Twitter By Son, Christian Walker

The son of former NFL player and U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker, Christian Walker, has had enough of his father lying about the allegations against him. He took to Twitter to vent.

From reportedly lying about working in law enforcement in Georgia and graduating at the top 1% of his class at the University of Georgia to rumors regarding secret children and paying for his girlfriend’s abortion, the public hasn’t viewed Walker positively. And his son, Christian, isn’t taking his side anymore.

On Oct. 3, Christian went off on his father after he denied the allegations.

Fatherhood has always been a topic Christian addressed on his social media platforms because, according to Christian, it has impacted him due to his father’s absence. In a video posted on Twitter, Christian went off about how his father’s absence affected him and how it was bothersome that his dad would publicly lie about the allegations against him, specifically mentioning the abortion.

“I was silent lie after lie after lie,” he said. “The abortion card drops yesterday. It’s literally his handwriting in the card. They say have receipts, whatever. He gets on Twitter, he lies about it. Okay, I’m done. Everything has been a lie.”

Recently, an anonymous woman claimed she got pregnant with Walker’s child in 2009, and he urged her to get an abortion. She handed over receipts to The Daily Beast showing a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic, a “get well” card sent from the U.S. Senate candidate, and a bank deposit receipt with a photo of the $700 check Walker gave her.

She told the outlet that she had no idea he had another child and wanted to come forward to show that he was a hypocrite advocating for anti-abortion yet forced her to terminate her pregnancy.

In regards to the secret child, The Daily Beast learned from anonymous sources that Walker and his campaign staff knew he was lying about having secret children. When the outlet asked his advisors about a 10-year-old and 13-year-old he fathered, he confirmed that they were his children and a daughter he had while in college.

His campaign manager, Scott Paradise, tried to downplay the lies by stating that it was “absurd” and “offensive” to think Walker hid the children from public knowledge for political reasons.

The outlet also reported that emails and texts among his advisers show they never trusted Walker, calling him a “pathological liar.”

Christian posted that Walker’s family told him not to run for office because of his past, but he refused to listen.

Last year, Christian’s attitude towards his father was different. At one point, the social media influencer supported his father’s political campaign.

In 2020, Christian dedicated a Father’s Day tweet to Walker, claiming he was thankful to have a “Black father.”

Walker posted on Twitter that he loved his son “no matter what” after Christian aired his business on social media.
