#GASEN: a *NEW* woman comes forward alleging Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker drove her to a clinic "to have an abortion after she became pregnant as a result of her relationship w/ him." She'll speak later today at a presser, per release from attorney Gloria Allred.

They are pro life alright. Their life. And whatever they think benefits THEIR life. They never give a shit about anyone else, ever.

It’s about the swing voters, who are 5-10% of any election. If we can convince some of them that Walker is a hypocrite then Warnock will win this.

How a ZERO like him could even dare to A) run for office, and B) actually have as many supporters as he seems to have, I will never understand.

There are quite a few very extreme candidates this election who are getting far more support than I would have thought possible. I will be watching the election results on pins and needles. I think the shock of the 2016 election will affect me for a very long time. Never again will I say, "There is no way he/she could win."

Suing him for driving her to an abortion?

Yes, Gloria Allred is rather famous. Perhaps you can name some important legal cases she has won.

...when the inevitable death threats and other attacks from MAGA Republicans come.

And Walker did know who the previous one was. She was the mother of one of his kids (one he didn't have her abort, apparently). He was just lying about not knowing her. You do realize that you can't trust a word that comes out of a Republican's mouth, right?

What is she going to do about anonymous death threats and other attacks?

She's going to track them down and file lawsuits against them for all the money they don't have in all the jurisdictions she isn't licensed?

...I would take time out of my life to explain it to you, but from your previous response and this one, it seems you are more interested in doubling down on your preexisting opinion rather than being enlightened on the matter, so, I will not be doing that.

Instead, I will point you to Google if you actually care to learn more about why someone would seek out to an experienced attorney to support them as they come forward with an allegation such as this. I'm guessing you won't take the time to do that, in which case, my decision was the right one.

Typically because attorneys know what to say so as to not run afoul of any laws or to keep them from saying anything that would hinder any future legal action.

In the age of maga, you better not charge someone with facts without legal representation.

The whole abortion thing aside...there is something to be said for a person who doesn't learn a lesson after repeated mistakes. And that thing is IDIOT!

It's more expensive when they have the children, but not something he can't afford. He was paying one woman only $40k/year in support.

It's an entertainment tax to him.

This coming up now, less than two weeks before the mid term is not going to play well. It will seem like a smear.
Dems best leave this one alone. Let the media and others go after it, but just leave it with the voters.
