Herschel Walker Has Confirmed He Had a Kid With His Accuser

While spouting off nonsensical explanations during a gaggle on Thursday afternoon, the Senate hopeful likely didn't realize he confirmed he indeed has a child with his accuser.

GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s attempt to answer reporter questions Thursday about whether he paid for an ex-girlfriend’s abortion crashed and burned, as he implied in rambling responses that he has not confirmed that the ex-girlfriend was the mother of one of his children.

The problem with that explanation? Walker has, in fact, confirmed that this woman is the mother of one of his kids. He did so to The Daily Beast in June, when we first broke the story about an undisclosed child.

Asked whether he’d reached out to any of the mothers of his children, Walker replied, “Why do I need to?”

Hmmm! You might have a little thing like child support.

He acts like he had one too many slams to the head while playing football.
