Sometimes it seems like the GOP’s main export is hypocrisy, and business is booming today!
A recent report by The Daily Beast reveals that anti-LGBTQ senatorial candidate and champion of conservative family values Herschel Walker reportedly has a secret son he’s taken no part in raising.
As if Walker having a gay son (who is somehow more homophobic than him?) weren’t enough irony, he’s lectured the Black community on the dangers of fatherless households countless times while apparently having a son he doesn’t care to father.

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.
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?
This report comes after several controversies for the football player turned political hopeful, including multiple abuse allegations in which he threatened to shoot both his first wife and an on-and-off girlfriend to death.
As a man not supporting children’s material needs while also allowing the threat of gun violence to run rampant, Walker may actually be a fitting representative for his party.

The unnamed, 10-year-old child has apparently not met his notorious half-brother Christian, who Walker does actually publicly claim.
In response to this story, multiple outlets have recently cited a 2019 interview in which Walker stated that his greatest accomplishment was being a good father. The interview has since been deleted.
Here’s what people on Twitter are saying about the whole thing…
Lauren Boebert was a sex worker & had 2 abortions but pretends to be a pro-life Republican
Herschel Walker has a secret son but runs as a conservative family man
Trump is a serial sexual assaulter but evangelical Christians worship him
Hypocrisy is the hallmark of the GOP

I do hope Herschel Walker’s secret son is even gayer

Herschel Walker is a HUGE HYPOCRITE for having the audacity to rail against absentee fathers while having secretly fathered a second son who he long ago abandoned and has refused to be in contact with to this day.
Who agrees? ?

Wait, Herschel Walker has another son, who he doesn’t see, and he chose to stay in touch with the one making the awful videos?

Herschel Walker says he’s a model dad. "I want to apologize to the African-American community, because the fatherless home is a major, major
problem.”Herschel Walker has a 10-year old son he’s never seen and had to be taken to court to pay child support. From @SollenbergerRC

If Herschel Walker was such a great dad he wouldn’t have a crazy kid like Christian Walker and a 10 year old son he doesn’t see.

I guess that’s why Christian Walker is such a right wing nutcase, he wants to stay in the will.

Unfortunately, in Georgia running for the GOP, I don’t hold out very high hopes that it will be the end.

What a fool, and yet a majority of the Georgia GQP support Herschel Walker. WTH?

-the republicans have a whole SHIT-BAG OF DEPLORABLES running for office.
but, why do they want a job with uncle sam? is it just stealing?

Power. So they can give their powerful backers all kinds of goodies, and imposed their warped world view on the rest of the us. Cf. every time they’ve gotten into office over the last 70 years. Their tenure usually concludes with a financial crisis of some sort, which the succeeding Democrat has to rectify!

Why do Americans keep choosing leaders based on name recognition alone? That’s how we get members of Congress who don’t know anything (and even a recent president who won’t admit he lost). There are great leaders out there that we’ve never heard of, but they can’t seem to win against buffoons like Walker who are admired for accomplishments that do not qualify them for political office.

For those of you who live in LA, do you ever see Christian Walker out and about? He is such a vile and nasty little boy. I would imagine people are confronting him all of the time? Maybe LA gays are not paying attention to right-wing gay trolls on Instagram. Same with Aaron Schock. Does anyone see him out and does he get confronted?
BaltoSteve
Schock only get’s confronted when he meets his Grindr hookup. Can’t be recognized when all you are is a headless torso.
CNY1983
he must have a body guard/paid boyfriend. anyone who is that repugnant could never just “walk” down the street. he’s be beaten and robbed like he had a bullseye on his back.

The GOP loves a black man who will debase themselves. It’s a sick joke, like a dancing monkey that they can laugh at behind closed doors.

Christian Walker needs therapy with all the self hating garbage he ss
jcool
i think he relies on “vibrator therapy” because he’s not gay
