“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.
What Walker should have added...;”Warnoc and the Democrats are just mad that my black babies weren’t aborted!
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.
Thank you for providing context to this story - it seems many posters just assume the worst.
Herschel has my vote.
