Republicans throw support behind Herschel Walker after abortion denial

The Georgia senate candidate has garnered support from Donald Trump to Lindsey Graham

Republicans and anti-abortion groups across the country have been flocking to Herschel Walker's defense despite accusations that the Republican candidate for Georgia's senate paid for a woman's abortion in 2009.

After the accusation from an alleged ex-girlfriend was first reported in the Daily Beast, some of the country's most influential Republicans have been either echoing Walker's denial of the abortion or remaining in deafening silence, in turn revealing a clear hypocrisy towards the issue of abortion rights.
