Herschel Walker has maintained that he still doesnt know the identity of the woman claiming she had an abortion after she and Walker got pregnant in 2009. But on Friday afternoon, the woman finally heard from a top Walker campaign surrogate: Julie Blanchard, the candidates wife.
In text a message exchange shared with The Daily Beast, the womanwho says she later had a child with Walker against his wishes in 2012told Blanchard it was cruel that Walker continues to claim he doesnt know me or the abortion he paid for.
He brought all of this on himself when he decided to get on a platform and denounce abortion and make a mockery of his children who have done NOTHING to deserve this, wrote the woman.
Shame on him, she added.
The woman asked Blanchard if she had previously known about the abortion, or if she had known that Walker had also said it wasnt the right time to have a child when they conceived three years later. (The woman went forward with the pregnancy despite Walkers wishes.).

(4,372 posts)his wife has been 'reaching out to her for years'??!!
Yes, we knew that was all a lie in the first place---
or, if we were super generous, like me, we might believe that Walker really doesn't remember--
because of an excess of brain damage !

"Blanchard, who for years has also served as a go-between messenger for Walker and the woman, replied at 1:19 pm EDT, according to the text message chain. An hour later, the campaign blasted out a fundraising text message calling the abortion allegation a flat-out lie.
