Herschel Walker says he 'never denied' having 4 children

Source: AP

By JILL COLVIN

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker said Saturday that he “never denied” the existence of children he hadn’t publicly disclosed before, telling conservative Christians that his kids “knew the truth.”

Speaking before a friendly audience at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s annual “Road to Majority” conference, Walker said the revelations about his children had only emboldened his campaign.

“Well, first of all, they knew the truth. You know, I’ve never denied any of my kids and I love them more than I love anything,” he said. “And they didn’t do anything, which just makes me want to fight harder because I’m tired of people misleading the American people. I’m tired of people misleading my family.”

Walker’s comments came after The Daily Beast reported that the former football star has four children, including two sons and a daughter whom he had never discussed publicly. Walker has repeatedly criticized absentee fathers over the years and has called on Black men in particular to play an active role in the children’s lives, holding up his relationship with his older son, Christian Walker, as an example.

Instead of allowing Walker to play this BS victim game, ask a simple question: "What active role did you play in the lives of these kids?".

I'm so tired of GOP politicians acting like a victim when their deeds are exposed

I'd give the guy a pass for a kid or two provided he paid child support and took an active role in their lives but......

4? By how many women? How many born in wedlock? How much child support is he paying and how involved is he in their lives?

Call me old fashioned but I call bullshit on this guy.

On Father's Day eve I have serious questions.

Since he hasn't denied this specific charge, it may be true.

would require a question. A question would require some information to be inquired about. If no one knows, then there is nothing disclosed. It's not hidden, it's just not disclosed. Conservative logic. Conservatives would be the first in line to flog a black man with multiple kids from multiple women, except ones that are as stupid as the conservatives, like Walker. The man is as dumb as a rock and a perfect example of 'Republican', a liar and a scam artist. The entire party is a fraud. Fear, Fraud and Fascism Party.

Habitual liar and brain-damaged Republican Mancuhurian candidate is the lying speaker at a Christian-Government convention.

And they wonder why church attendance is declining. Herschel and Franklin Graham are leading Christians to the Hell they imagine.

Is the purported 72 virgins motivation next for Republicans?

What the hell does any woman find attractive in that?

And he's kind of stupid, too, which is another turn-off. Then add in the narcissism and sense of entitlement that comes with too many professional sports people - just gross.
