NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker said Saturday that he never denied the existence of children he hadnt publicly disclosed before, telling conservative Christians that his kids knew the truth.
Speaking before a friendly audience at the Faith and Freedom Coalitions 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, Ive never denied any of my kids and I love them more than I love anything, he said. And they didnt do anything, which just makes me want to fight harder because Im tired of people misleading the American people. Im tired of people misleading my family.
Walkers 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 childrens lives, holding up his relationship with his older son, Christian Walker, as an example.
