Herschel Walker was coming into the 2022 election with so much baggage that many Republicans in Georgia were furious with Trump for endorsing Walker. Walker had a history of very serious domestic violence, mental health instability (that doesn’t seem well-managed), lies about the fact that he graduated from Georgia near the top of his class, and very shady business deals. That was plenty. Yet MAGAs listened to Trump and easily chose Walker in their primary.

That was before the world learned that Walker had a ten-year-old son in Texas that Walker had not mentioned once in his campaign, effectively keeping the 10-year-old boy and the pregnancy itself hidden. Perhaps Walker believed he needed to keep his son hidden because he had been such a hypocrite talking about absent fathers who do not participate in their kids’ lives and holding up his relationship with Christian (his 22-year-old son) whose mother has long since left Walker, as a “good example.”

The hypocrisy is just too much… And that was BEFORE we learned that Walker has TWO more children that he had kept secret. According to The Daily Beast:

A day after The Daily Beast broke the news that Herschel Walker had a secret 10-year-old son he fathered out of wedlock, the football star-turned-politician confirmed late Wednesday night that he has yet another son with a different woman that the public doesn’t know about—as well as a daughter that he had in college.

The 10-year-old’s mother went to court for a paternity declaration and child support. A document posted online by the law firm that represented her in that 2013 case, said she and Walker began a relationship on Nov. 1, 2008. That was only three months before the birth of the son who is now 13.

One would think that someone smart enough to be a U.S. Senator would recognize that if the news reporters found one child, the other two were just a day or two away, and he would get in front of it and make the announcement himself. Instead, Walker did his best Trump impression and acted like the victim when the public only knew of ONE of his hidden children.

Walker was furious, according to the New York Daily News:

Befitting an ex-running back, Herschel Walker went on offense Wednesday.

The Georgia GOP senate candidate and former NFL star’s campaign admitted a report that Walker has a son he hadn’t mentioned publicly was true, but denied Walker was trying to keep the offspring a secret.

“To suggest that Herschel is ‘hiding’ the child because he hasn’t used him in his political campaign is offensive and absurd,” political operative Scott Paradise said.

Again, that was the rage regarding the one child in Texas.

We will never say never about a Republican in Georgia, a MAGA at that. But Walker is doing everything he can to ensure that he’s not electable.
