It turns out that Herschel Walker doesnt have just one kid, or two kids, or even three kids. He has four.
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 doesnt know aboutas well as a daughter that he had in college.
The revelations come in the middle of Walkers competitive race to unseat Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and after many public comments Walker has made about absent fathers in the Black community.
...
In a statement issued to The Daily Beast, Walker confirmed that the 13-year-old son is his child. The campaign also supplied a form that Walker filled out in 2018 in order to be appointed to President Donald Trumps Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. Walker listed the childs name and age, as well as the names and ages for Christian, the 10-year-old son, and an adult daughter whom Walker fathered when he was around 20 years old.
I have four children. Three sons and a daughter. Theyre not undisclosedtheyre my kids, Walker said in his statement. I support them all and love them all. Ive never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the Presidents Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, 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?

(102,290 posts)He performed for them on the football field--entertained them-- which makes him a "good black man." He is now willing to parrot every disgusting (and exploitative) position that Trumpists hold dear, even if he is unable to express them in any kind of understandable way. Stunningly blunt, but true.
Still, I can't imagine a klavern full of cross-burning good ol' boys in Forsyth County making up "Herschel for Senate" yard signs and bumper stickers.

(9,982 posts)I mean, speaking from a woman's viewpoint, I can't imagine who would even WANT to! (sorry if that appears to be slut-shaming because I don't mean it that way) He is about as UNappealing as any RW incel and I would completely shun him as I would shun any other male of his type on grounds of extreme stupidity. Stupidity is about as unappealing as it gets. (sorry, can't find puke emoji)
