Georgia’s Republican nominee for U.S. Senate is ensnared in an abortion controversy. This week, The Daily Beast reported that Herschel Walker, who is running as a pro-life candidate, paid for an abortion for his then-girlfriend back in 2009.
Walker appeared on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday with Brian Kilmeade to deny the story, asserting that he doesn’t know the woman referenced in the report.
“It’s like everyone is anonymous, everyone is leaking, and they want you to confess about something you have no clue about. This just shows you how desperate they (Democrats) are right now.”
Walker told Kilmeade that his opponent, Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, sees him as a big threat. He said he knew the race was going to get dirty when he decided to run.
Political pundit Roland Martin quote tweeted the interview, Martin referred to it as “pathetic” and criticized Kilmeade for asking soft questions.
“If y’all want to see a pathetic interview, just watch weak ass @kilmeade talk to @HerschelWalker,” he said. “This is beyond embarrassing. @FoxNews should be ashamed. I can’t wait for @HARRISFAULKNER to call this out on @OutnumberedFNC.”
“So what you’re saying is, you haven’t been the perfect dad, you haven’t been the perfect spouse, but you’ve been redeemed?” asked Kilmeade. “Is that what you’re saying?”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” Walker replied.
