Congratulations, Herschel! It's a baby girl!! A 30-year-old baby girl

Yes, another one.

(To be entirely fair, Walker is personally involved in raising as much as 25% of his known offspring)

https://www.thedailybeast.com/herschel-walker-critic-of-absentee-dads-admits-to-yet-another-secret-son

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 doesn’t know about—as well as a daughter that he had in college.




As a Democrat, however, I'm worried that at some point his illegitimate children might come to constitute a significant Republican voter block

although I do question how he is going to have time to be a Senator if he has to be the father in a few different families

They are very particular about the way people who are trying to destroy our democracy are attacked. Kid gloves. Always.

(Also, btw great line. Stud shaming is hilarious!)

All he has to say is "leave the kids out of it". The magic words that make the MSM drop the issue.

they'll just spin it as pro-life somehow even though they don't value families.

that one of the women had to take him to court to get child support says it all for me. Who knows if the other women had to do the same.

Graduated from college - no
Worked for law enforcement and fbi - no
3 out of wedlock children while attacking black men for not taking responsibility in raising their children.

The ads write themselves. Herschel has been caught in so many lies how can you trust him to represent your state and interests in the Senate?

The son is proud of being gay (good thing) but also proud of being a right winger (bad thing).
