Hypocrisy much?
Republican Herschel Walker, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in one of the country’s key Senate races this year, has made criticism of absentee fathers, particularly in Black families part of his campaign platform.
“And I want to apologize to the African American community, because the fatherless home is a major, major problem,” Walker told conservative activist Charlie Kirk in a 2020 interview. In another interview that year with conservative media personalities Diamond and Silk, Walker said that men who have “a child with a woman, even if you have to leave that woman … you don’t leave the child.”
The mother had to sue Walker in order to obtain a declaration of paternity and child support. According to the report, Walker was ordered to pay child support starting in 2014.
Don’t leave the child? That’s exactly what he did.
