Herschel Walker’s son calls candidate a liar and hypocrite over abortion denial

Christian Walker says Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia lied about paying for former girlfriend's termination in 2009

The son of Georgia's Republican US Senate hopeful Herschel Walker called his father a liar and a hypocrite after a media report alleged that the candidate, who has publicly opposed abortion rights, paid for an abortion for a former girlfriend in 2009.

The Daily Beast reported on Monday that Walker, a former pro football player, paid to end the ex-girlfriend's pregnancy when the couple was dating by depositing a $700 check into her bank account for the procedure. Walker vehemently denies the allegations and has threatened to sue the news outlet for defamation.
