https://thegrio.com/2022/09/16/senate-n ... -klansman/Senate nominee Herschel Walker repeatedly shared story resembling John Lewis encounter with former Klansman
Walker's tale of his encounter with an apologetic former member of the Ku Klux Klan happened the same year that he first shared a similar story about U.S. Rep. John Lewis.
Republican nominee Herschel Walker’s campaign for U.S. Senate in Georgia has repeatedly been marred by falsehoods. To date, the retired football player has been caught lying about fathering a “secret” child, being a member of law enforcement, a claim that he graduated from college, and even his business practices.
A recent review by theGrio of past statements made by Walker during interviews between 2020 and 2021 reveals that Walker repeatedly shared several versions of a story about an encounter with a former member of the Ku Klux Klan that resembles one that has been publicly shared by the late former Georgia U.S. Rep. John Lewis.

I like the (truthful) portrayal of being against gun control as being anti law enforcement. More of this, please.

Herschel Walker is what you get when someone believes the head-tapping meme guy makes perfect sense and says "We need someone with this outlook in elected office."

Electric cars now start in the $20s, with many in the $30s. But let's just take the current average of $60k, which includes luxury cars but whatever. Walker is claiming to live in a house worth less than $60k.

Here it is:
Herschel Walker got a girlfriend pregnant in 2009, urged her to get an abortion, and then reimbursed her for the procedure.
Herschel Walker also says there should be no exceptions for abortion. (Except for himself I guess.)
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller 10m
This story is more than credible. The woman provided us with a receipt from the abortion clinic, an image of a check from Herschel Walker reimbursing her for the abortion, and a "get well" card Herschel Walker sent her with the check.

Oh HELL YES!!! You know that the same happened with Trump but he had his lawyers destroy receipts and have girlfriends sign NDAs.
It remains to be seen whether Georgia Rs will give a shit. Probably not, because he has an R after his name and Jesus.

That's the cool thing about voting with Republican Jesus. Even if they believe it (they won't,) he's forgiven. Same as holding a gun to his wife's head, etc. Water under the bridge.

"For completeness," Walker turned pro before graduating. After a few seasons with the USFL's New Jersey Generals (which at the end was owned by TFG), Walker played for the NFL's Cowboys*, Vikings, Giants, Eagles, and again the Cowboys before retiring.Plus he won a National Championship with UGA.
Walker twice was selected for the Pro Bowl, but never won (or even went to) a Superb Owl.
* Walker's trade to the Vikings is considered to be one of the most lopsided trades, and it eventually led to the Cowboys' rebirth due to the bevvy of picks and players it received for Walker.

I’m done.
I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us.
You’re not a “family man” when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence.
I don’t care about someone who has a bad past and takes accountability. But how DARE YOU LIE and act as though you’re some “moral, Christian, upright man.” You’ve lived a life of DESTROYING other peoples lives. How dare you.

LeGate found one that Christian deleted. Some MAGAt tools are saying Christian's Twitter account is hacked.
Christian Walker was part of convicted criminal Brandon Straka's idiotic "Support the #DontSayGay Bill" in Florida, they were all on a Twitter Space together. Pretty amazing this is what popped Christian's cork -- it's going to be hard for the GAGOP to deny this. #GASenate #GAPol
Hey Foggy, have you called your pal Amy Kremer about this? She's in Georgia, wonder if Amy had any of Herschel's kids. Would you please ask Amy when you're checking if she'll drive up to help form a quorum at Denny's on Thursday for the Grand Slam Grand Jury indictment of the dotard? TYIA.

Back in they day, misspelling “potato” would end your campaign. Now it takes domestic violence, secret abortions, and your family to call you out on social media. And even that’s not a guarantee.

Welp, it went on all night. IMO, put a fork in Walker (at least from present viewpoint)…
Christian’s tweets are the killer. Walker and his crew can threaten to sue, and even do so, the boy has been supportive and then blew a gasket. Acknowledged all the negative and even disclosed more.
