The Woman Herschel Walker Says Never Aborted Their Child Turns Out To Have Given Birth To Another Of His Children

There are gifts that keep giving, and gifts you’d be totally OK with not having. Herschel Walker’s U.S. Senate campaign falls, obviously, in the latter category. Early on it was great from a journalism perspective: a celebrity athlete with a lot of questions to answer jumping into politics provides great fodder. But as time moved on, Walker’s lies, his clear lack of grasp of issues, policy or reality itself in some instances, makes it impossible to cover his campaign with any pretense of objectivity. Upholding a commitment to truth requires pointing out how absurdly unqualified he is for elective office and admitting how frightening it is that with a month left to campaign, he’s got a better-than-good shot at deposing a qualified legislator and taking an oath come January.
Which leaves us covering what remains of the campaign like a reality show gone off the rails. In today’s episode, a thickening plot in which our friends at the Daily Beast whipped out another receipt connecting Walker to a woman who two days ago, he swore he absolutely, positively did not cajole to abort their child and then reimburse for having said abortion.
