EXCLUSIVE: I got Herschel Walker’s child support agreement for his youngest, secret son—who he didn’t want to have & hasn’t raised. The pro-life football star pays $42,000/year, but no childcare or education & no visitation. Family law experts were stunned

Walker is an anti-abortion absolutist & critic of absentee dads.

He also paid a woman for an abortion & urged her to end their 2nd pregnancy. When she had the child, he didn’t raise him & hasn’t seen him in 6 years. Yet GOP attack Warnock, who is in court to adjust child support

Walker is worth between $29M and $62M, and made $4 million last year alone—he paid just one percent of those earnings to a woman raising a child he hasn’t come to visit

Herschel Walker’s ‘Kiss-Off’ Child Support Agreement


Republicans have been desperate to equate Sen. Raphael Warnock’s ex-wife asking for more child support with Herschel Walker’s long and damning list of scandals. But the comparison between the two Georgia Senate candidates is even more inapt when you consider this: Walker may actually have a more troubling child support situation himself.

Walker claims a net worth between $29 million and $62 million, according to his personal financial disclosure. Last year alone, he reported an income of more than $4 million. But Walker pays $3,500 a month in child support for his youngest son—a son he has not seen since January 2016.

Compare the details of that child support agreement to the Republican attacks on Walker’s opponent. Warnock’s ex-wife is taking him to court to adjust his child support payments after he took an additional $174,000 a year from his salary as a senator. Asking for more money in child support when someone’s salary substantially increases—like when someone is elected to the U.S. Senate—is a relatively standard practice that Republicans have tried to scandalize.

The Warnock campaign would not share details of the Georgia Democrat’s child support agreement with The Daily Beast and declined to comment for this story.

1. Republican family values

[yardwork]

2. Yep. They're total hypocrites.

[Ray Bruns]

10. They wouldn't be republicans if they weren't hypocrites.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

3. Legal, court enforced child support agreements are no one else's business.

[Traildogbob]

5. Private Health care

Choices that could lead to a woman dying or not is also no one’s business. Maybe if Walker et al would keep their damn noses OUT of every damn women and female child in America’s personal health decisions, his private life choices, of which wouldn’t kill others, could be left to him and NOT others concerns.

8. Really?

For one thing, it reeks of corruption or at the very least a perversion of the family court system. For another, once Walker became a candidate, he opened himself to all sorts of criticism regarding his fitness for the office in which he seeks, including this one.

The family has clearly made this matter everyone else's business so the only privacy of concern here is Walker's, which shouldn't be a concern to anyone.

4. Looks like I'll have to Google him again. How did he make 4 million?

I really don't want to have to Google him. Was the 4 million interest from his past earnings? Does he have a job?

[rubbersole]

7. He makes millions because he scored touchdowns 40 years ago.

Ignore the brain damage. Get a brian morans.

[Ray Bruns]

11. So he is a black Al Bundy.

[onecaliberal]

6. He could go on TV and decapitate pregnant baby eagles and they will still vote for this person who

is clearly morally and ethically bankrupt. He clearly has damage to his brain from football. He is nothing more than a prop for the right. It's sad that he is so desperate to belong that he is allowing himself to be used.

[OverBurn]

9. Walker is a straight up piece of shit and pathological liar.

[Ray Bruns]

12. So, a typical republican.

[BlackSkimmer]

13. None of his supporters will give a fig about this.

Sad truth.

[SergeStorms]

14. But evangelicals love him.

He's been forgiven of all his previous sins since he's been washed in the blood of the lamb.

And they call Democrats sheep! 🙄
