ATLANTA — U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker’s campaign was in turmoil Monday after his adult son accused his father of threatening to kill his family members, an accusation that came after a news outlet reported the Republican paid his then-girlfriend in 2009 to have an abortion despite his opposition to the procedure.
Walker, a former football star, condemned the report by The Daily Beast as a “flat-out lie” and pledged to sue the publication. But his campaign was further rocked when Christian Walker sent a series of tweets attacking his father for “making a mockery” of the family.
“You’re not a ‘family man’ when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence,” Christian Walker tweeted.
