Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee from Georgia for the U.S. Senate, confirmed that he has two more previously unknown children, adding another “secret” child that the former football star admitted to earlier this week.
Walker now says he has four kids, only one of whom was previously known.
Walker’s disclosure is the second time this week the former star professional football player, who has been repeatedly publicly critical of African American absentee fathers, has been forced to admit he had children out of wedlock after media reports of their existence.

I cant believe this wasnt disclosed earlier. For me it wouldnt be a deal breaker. But it does make you wonder what else is he hiding. I think that is what the dems will be pushing.
He’s clearly not ready for the big show. That’s been evident for a while. I don’t know who drafted him or encouraged him to run without giving him a good background check and prepping him for what would come up, but that person or persons made a huge mistake.
Once is a mistake.
> And if he actually thought his love children were going to remain a secret, he’s not smart enough for the battle ahead.
Thats the truly damning implication. Hope he can get out ahead of this. Best response is to embrace it and move forward.
If he has financially supported them...then so what?
Walker can turn this around by saying”Yes but i financially supported my children...Warnoc and his Democrats would have had my black babies aborted!”
Mic drop and utter crickets...I guarantee it!
The Democrats are going to pull out all the stops now to take him down.

Georgia Poll: Walker, Warnock In Dead Heat For Senate As Kemp Opens Lead In Governor’s Race
A Democrat in such a position would pull out the "RACIST" card immediately for exposing that he had "secret children."
I don’t care!!! At all!!!
He's what we've got. Got to figure out a way to get Walker through it if possible.
What Walker actually said:”“I have four children. Three sons and a daughter,” Walker said in the statement.
“They’re not ‘undisclosed’ — they’re my kids. I support them all and love them all. I’ve never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the President’s Council on Sports Fitness & Nutrition,” he said.
Walker added: “I just chose not to use them as props to win a political campaign. What parent would want their child involved in garbage, gutter politics like this?”
“Saying I hide my children because I don’t discuss them with reporters to win a campaign? That’s outrageous. I can take the heat, that’s politics — but leave my kids alone,” Walker said.”
It sounds like Walker did look after his kids after all.
The question is did he take responsibility for them and did he help the mother care for them?
Whether he tells the world is no one else’s business.
Rookie mistake? The senate is the big leagues, bigger than the house. One seat could have made all the difference. Stacey Abrahms-in denial, unattractive, but talented and experienced. She’d beat Walker in any race.
Yep. Hopefully someone sat him down and said “ok, we need to know everything about you. And I mean everything.”
“I have four children. Three sons and a daughter,” Walker said in the statement.
“They’re not ‘undisclosed’ — they’re my kids. I support them all and love them all. I’ve never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the President’s Council on Sports Fitness & Nutrition,” he said.

“Saying I hide my children because I don’t discuss them with reporters to win a campaign? That’s outrageous. I can take the heat, that’s politics — but leave my kids alone,” Walker said.
What Walker should have added...;”Warnoc and the Democrats are just mad that my black babies weren’t aborted!
If I lived in Georgia, I would be questioning him hard about his child support and how many more children, we don’t know of. If for no other reason than I find deadbeat fathers particularly odious.
However, I suspect we will see many posts that take a moral equivalence or fall back on situational ethics. After all He is Herschel Walker, football hero and most of all a black conservative Republican.
Here’s a potential problem.
Dem voters don’t care about their guy/gal/it. The candidate can be a crack homo, they will still support that person.
Rep voters still have some integrity and like to think they will support someone who is just like them.
The US Pravda plays this out to the nth degree.
“I have four children. Three sons and a daughter,” Walker said in the statement.
“They’re not ‘undisclosed’ — they’re my kids. I support them all and love them all. I’ve never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the President’s Council on Sports Fitness & Nutrition,” he said.

“Saying I hide my children because I don’t discuss them with reporters to win a campaign? That’s outrageous. I can take the heat, that’s politics — but leave my kids alone,” Walker said.
I think he made a good response to it but i think he should have added...”Warnoc and all the Stacey Abrams Democrats are just mad that my black babies weren’t aborted!”
Well he’s a deadbeat and a liar. Perfect republican/democrat candidate.
What bs.
Good legislation will come from unrepentant sinner.
Typical Democrat election news! They do this to all African American Republican candidates. One day there will be a Republican who will give it right back?

I forgot which one that is
