The Republican candidate for the US Senate’s lover trail playoing out in the national and Georgia media…
Herschel Walker, the Republican nominee for Senate in Georgia, told NBC News that he learned the identity of the woman who claims he reimbursed her for an abortion in 2009 for the first time on Friday.
Walker said in a brief interview with the outlet that Friday was the first time the woman ever mentioned having an abortion to him or his wife, NBC reported shortly after a report from The Daily Beastthat the woman and Walker’s wife, Julie Walker, had engaged in a text conversation on Friday in which the woman made reference to the procedure.
Herschel Walker told NBC that the first he heard of the situation was a reporter asking him if he ever paid for the woman’s abortion.
“I’m not saying she did or didn’t have one,” he said, referring to an abortion. “I’m saying I don’t know anything about that. I don’t know.”

The Times reported that the woman was “appalled” by Herschel Walker’s position on abortion….
