Wake up everybody, new Herschel Walker kids just dropped!
The Georgia GOP senatorial candidate has had a wild week, but the end doesn’t seem to be in sight. It turns out Walker’s “not-gay” son Christian (who admittedly likes men) isn’t the only Walker child on the down-low, according to reporting out of The Daily Beast.
After news broke yesterday of Walker’s estranged 10-year-old son, the former football player’s own campaign reached out and blew the story up even further.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The patron saint of paternity has actually been keeping three children hidden from the public eye, all born out of wedlock to different women across the country.
In an interview with right-wing duo Diamond and Silk, Walker posed the question, “What about teaching our Black men that if you lay down with a woman and you make a baby, it is your responsibility to stay there and make sure that child is raised?”
What about it, indeed?
There’s nothing wrong with unmarried people having kids (though being absent from a child’s life is not great), but the problem lies with Herschel Walker’s railing against “the fatherless home” specifically within the Black community.
His belief in the often homophobic rhetoric that every child is in need of a strong father figure in the household is densely hypocritical from a man with four children from different people; no man halfway to a full Nick Cannon roster should be on other folks’ cases about their parenting situations.
Even worse, his son Christian (the one of his four children that he is involved with) is one of the most vocally homophobic queer people in the public eye today. Anyone scrolling any of Christian’s highly-followed socials will find virulently queerphobic and extremist right-wing propaganda in nearly every post.
If Christian is the culmination of his father’s involvement in child-rearing, the three out-of-wedlock Walkers might just be better off.

The Republican party is nothing but full of walking brain dead hypocrites. Warnock is going to wipe the floor with Walker.
Mack
I really hope Warnock does, but you have to remember there are some really stupid people voting and supports Trump and Trump supports him so they support him.

Unfortunately Herschel went to UGA and was a Bulldog football player. And for some reason that won him the Primary and most likely the Senate seat this fall no matter how unqualified he is.
MISTERJETT
grossly unqualifed!!!!!

The problem with calling Republicans out on their hypocrisy is that they don’t actually give a sh*t about that, they still dig in and endure and tow the line and vote for each other and win. Democrats can only get organized when a Republican f*cks up and pisses everyone off exactly the way Al Gore or Hillary warned us they would while we were complaining about not being in love with them enough to vote. And because we have more principles, we are aghast when people call us hypocrites.
And that’s why there are 6 Republicans on the Supreme Court, millions dead from the Iraq War, thousands more dead from COVID than needed to be, and decades of lost time for combatting climate change.

EXACTLY. Perfectly stated.

the hubris over-weening pride is ridiculous.

when a Republican accuses you of something morally reprehensible, you can bet that they’re already doing it. they should change their name to the Projection Party.

Remember this guy going for a US Senate seat, when he’s barely qualified to be a senator in Georgia’s state legislature.

Is this imbecile going to apologize to all the absentee Black fathers he’s repeatedly attacked given that he has been one himself? And I don’t care what he says, but he only ever mentions that one pathetic excuse of a son we all have heard enough from, and one of his baby mamas allegedly had to sue his @ss to get child support, which doesn’t sound like responsible fathering to me! What a hypocritical debacle this man is!
