Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee from Georgia for the U.S. Senate, confirmed that he has two more previously unknown children, adding another “secret” child that the former football star admitted to earlier this week.
Walker now says he has four kids, only one of whom was previously known.
Walker’s disclosure is the second time this week the former star professional football player, who has been repeatedly publicly critical of African American absentee fathers, has been forced to admit he had children out of wedlock after media reports of their existence.

In politics, you turn every perceived negative into a positive. Herschel’s new slogan:
Vote for Out of Wedlock Walker
“I have four children. Three sons and a daughter,” Walker said in the statement.
“They’re not ‘undisclosed’ — they’re my kids. I support them all and love them all. I’ve never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the President’s Council on Sports Fitness & Nutrition,” he said.
Walker added: “I just chose not to use them as props to win a political campaign. What parent would want their child involved in garbage, gutter politics like this?”
“Saying I hide my children because I don’t discuss them with reporters to win a campaign? That’s outrageous. I can take the heat, that’s politics — but leave my kids alone,” Walker said.
I think he made a good response to it but i think he should have added...”Warnoc and all the Stacey Abrams Democrats are just mad that my black babies weren’t aborted!”
You are right! Very good response!

“As long as he is providing support to these children, I see this as a non-issue.”
Reports are that he was not involved in their upbringing. He has campaigned against fatherless black families but he has created multiple.
Walker has made his criticism of absentee Black fathers a part of his campaign. Having one child is one thing. It’s a learning experience that he can point to as triggering his position. But three? He just becomes what he is criticizing, and comes off as hypocritical.
“Stacey Abrahms-in denial, unattractive, but talented and experienced. “
With friends and relatives in high places.
it’s the culture. media needs to lay off the black man. Racist.
I’m sure he paid much more child support than most men.
I have to get this to the Walker Campaign...I think it will shut down a lot of the chatter and it would put Warnoc and Abrams in the hot seat as to how to handle a black politician who “didn’t abort his black out of wed lock babies but loved and supported them.”
He wasn't going to disclose it. The information was dug up.
Who gives a flying freep? Walker is a rock solid conservative and facing a communist.
Anyone getting into politics needs to make sure anything on their past is put out there upfront.
It WILL come out.
Control the narrative upfront, don’t let your opponent bring it out.
Just common sense in todays age.
If he was a leftist they would brag “he broke the glass ceiling” because he came out honestly and spoke about it.
If I lived in GA, I would vote for him. The left always becomes “prudes” when it has to do anything with an R....But they’re okay with men dressing as women and performing sexually explicit BS to 5 year old kids.
Give me a break.
Agreed!
Enough of this bullSh$t. There are skeletons in every potential candidates' closet. Get the hell over it.
He is rock solid MAGA supporter facing a communist. That is all you and Republicans in Georgia need to know.
So you’re saying he’s a straight male… excellent!
👍🏾
May reinforce his base.
May reduce his influence in penumbra of base though.
It's also spot-on.
I thought maybe so
Thanks
