ATLANTA — U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker, a Republican who has endorsed a “total ban” on abortion, condemned a report Monday that he paid his then-girlfriend in 2009 to have an abortion.
The former football star called the Daily Beast report a “flat-out lie” and labeled the accusations “disgusting, gutter politics” as he threatened to take legal action against the publication.
“I’m not taking this anymore,” Walker said in a tweet, adding that he’s “planning to sue the Daily Beast for this defamatory lie. It will be filed tomorrow morning.”
