Trump, Senate Republicans back Herschel Walker in Georgia amid abortion allegations

President Donald Trump and the Republican Party remained in Herschel Walker’s corner Tuesday following a report that alleged the pro-life Senate hopeful from Georgia paid for an ex-girlfriend to get an abortion 13 years ago.

Trump said Walker, whom he encouraged to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, has been “slandered and maligned by the Fake News Media and obviously, the Democrats.”

“Interestingly, I’ve heard many horrible things about his opponent, Raphael Warnock, things that nobody should be talking about, so we don’t. Herschel has properly denied the charges against him, and I have no doubt he is correct,” the former president said on Truth Social.

“They are trying to destroy a man who has true greatness in his future, just as he had athletic greatness in his past,” Trump continued. “It’s very important for our Country and the Great State of Georgia that Herschel Walker wins this Election. With all that Herschel has accomplished, when you come from Georgia, and you see the name Herschel Walker when voting, it will be very hard to resist. Don’t!”

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who heads up the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said the attack on Walker was orchestrated by Democrats who fear they will lose control of the Senate in the Nov. 8 midterm elections.

“When the Democrats are losing, as they are right now, they lie and cheat and smear their opponents. That’s what’s happening right now. They know they are on the verge of losing the Senate, and they know that Herschel Walker is winning, so they have cranked up the smear machine,” Scott said in a statement.

He compared the allegations against Walker to the attacks on conservative Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas, but vowed they “will not work.”

Warnock funneled a bunch of money to himself and it wasn’t mentioned in the commie press. But Democrat smears are carried far and wide.

Another report said he encouraged her to have an abortion. It would still be ultimately her choice so I don’t understand why this is on him?? And if it’s true...there’s DNA. Who knows.

The Democrats attack Herschel not because he will become the next senator from Georgia but because they fear facing Walker in future national elections.

What the Left doesn't know is that the 'gotcha' game doesn't work on Christians. Mr. Walker is now a Bible believing Christian. He was washed in the Blood of the Lamb.

Every person who is a Christian has given his or her life over to Jesus. We are washed clean of our sins. The State of Georgia has plenty of Christians, and each and every one, like Herschel Walker, has had their sins forgiven. They are "born again", they are a new person in Christ.

This smear by the Left only registers as a "big fail" by Christian believers. It is a nothing burger.

Don't give a damn about abortion, or his family dynamic anymore than Ronald Reagan's.
He would have my vote if I lived in Georgia. 100%.

I’ll just say it sure was nice of the Daily Beast to have this story all ready to go and to publish it on the day that we learn that Warnock abused his wife and children.

Walker is a horribly flawed candidate who has no business being a US senator. He hasn’t lived in GA for decades and he suddenly pops up here warts and all running for the senate. Republicans need to find and fund strong candidates if they expect to win.

Even if it were true, I’d say, SO!?

what of it!

many pro-lifers, have had abortions and part of the reason they are pro-life is the guilt they feel about it.

That opinion was overruled by Georgia GOP primary voters.

If it's not Hunter, Hunter, Hunter...Russia, Russia, Russia it's Abortion, abortion, abortion.

Can Herschel Walker have an abortion, force someone to have an abortion, or perform abortions?

Some of you one note Johnny's stuck on abortion really need to get a life.
