In another tweet, Christian wrote: “I don’t care about someone who has a bad past and takes accountability. But how DARE YOU LIE and act as though you’re some ‘moral, Christian, upright man.’ You’ve lived a life of DESTROYING other peoples lives. How dare you.”
Christian, a far-right, pro-MAGA social media personality who had at one timeappeared closewith his father, then added, “Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew (some of) his past. Every single one. He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it. I’m done.”
Herschel’s son continued criticizing the Senate candidate’s fathering and doubled-down on his previous claims invideosposted online Tuesday morning.

The family tension comes just after the pro-life candidate fought back claims that he paid for a former girlfriend’s abortion in 2009.
The candidate, who faces incumbent Sen.Raphael Warnockin next month’s midterm elections, appeared on Fox News’Hannityand refuted the claim from a Daily Beast article, calling it a “flat-out lie.”
In the article,publishedon Monday, an unidentified woman told the outlet that Walker paid for her to get an abortion, after which he reimbursed her. The woman provided the Daily Beast with a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic as well as an image of a signed $700 personal check from Walker and a “get well” card.
In a statement released regarding the article, Walker said he was “not taking this anymore” and that he was planning to sue the publication for the “defamatory lie.”
“I never asked anyone to get an abortion. I never paid for an abortion, and it’s a lie. And I’m going to continue to fight,” Walker said onHannity.
