OH LORDY: Herschel Walker Accuser Provides Damning Audio Recordings From Their Relationship

On Tuesday a woman who accused Herschel Walker of pressuring her to have an abortion played audio of their phone calls and called for the Republican candidate for Georgia’s senate to meet with her.

The woman went simply by “Jane Doe” and held a press conference while she was accompanied by famed feminist attorney Gloria Allred. As the presser began, the women played an audiotape of the phone conversation between the unnamed woman and Walker. The Independent reports the couple carried out a relationship that lasted many years and took place when Walker was married.

Themes like this seem to be common for Republicans. As I mentioned earlier, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich carried on an affair while criticizing former President Bill Clinton for doing the same thing.

Allred and the unnamed woman first played a voice message Walker sent while he was taking part in the 1992 Olympics.

“This is your stud farm calling, you big sex puppy,” he said, per the voice message.

Walker is running against incumbent senator Raphael Warnock (D) in a run-off election to be held on December 6. The November 8 midterm election was a tight one for both candidates with neither securing the majority vote.

Allred asked Walker to meet with her client anywhere in Georgia before the run-off election.

“Feel free to bring any evidence that you have that contradicts our evidence,” Allred said. “If you don’t agree to accept our challenge, and to meet our client in person in Georgia, prior to December 6, 2022. We think it is fair for the voters in Georgia to conclude that Jane Doe is telling the truth and that you are not being transparent and honest with the voters in Georgia.”

Jane Doe has previously said she became pregnant in 1993 while she and Walker were in a relationship and while she originally backed out of the abortion, he drove her to the clinic and waited in the car while she had the procedure done, per The Independent. During her press conference Tuesday she read diary entries from that time.

“I told him I could just disappear,” she said. “And he said, ‘no,’ he would. He told me that would be better since he would give the baby and I have his estate I realized he was talking about more than disappearing.”

This, she said, was worrying because Walker had attempted suicide.

Jane Doe is the second woman to come forward to say that Walker pushed her to have an abortion. The first woman who accused Walker of this told The Daily Beast that the former NFL running guard paid for her to have the procedure and presented the outlet with “proof of her romantic relationship with Walker.” She also presented a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic alongside an image of a signed $700 check and a “get-well” card.

Walker, who has claimed to be firmly against abortion, continues to deny both claims, having said in the past he opposes abortion in every instance, even including in cases of rape, incest, and cases where the mother’s life is in danger.

But Jane Doe said she decided to come forward after Walker said on Fox News that he’d never asked anyone to have an abortion.

“I intended to take this to my grave,” she said, “And I knew he was lying based on my own experience.”

She cried at some points during the press conference while reading a letter Walker sent to her parents.

“I do love your daughter and I’m not out to hurt her,” she read per the letter. “She has been a strong backbone for me through all of this. She has not done anything wrong. If you do think what I’m doing is wrong, I will withdraw until I’m out of this mess.”

I don’t know how Walker can continue to deny any of this, especially since the first woman provided a receipt and an image of the $700 check and the aforementioned get-well card.

But this is the reality Georgia voters face. Things seem to be looking up for Warnock fortunately. A run-off election poll released Tuesday by AARP shows that the reverend leads Walker by 51 percent over 47 percent. Sure, it’s not a huge lead but the good news is this means Warnock is firmly ahead.

Let’s hope this lead continues to grow. Warnock has been a senator for nearly two years now, and Walker’s alleged lying over this makes me wonder how truthful he is about other important issues.

Here’s what Jane Doe and Gloria Allred had to say in the clip below.
