The New York Daily News reports:
Befitting an ex-running back, Herschel Walker went on offense Wednesday.
The Georgia GOP senate candidate and former NFL star’s campaign admitted a report that Walker has a son he hadn’t mentioned publicly was true, but denied Walker was trying to keep the offspring a secret.
“To suggest that Herschel is ‘hiding’ the child because he hasn’t used him in his political campaign is offensive and absurd,” political operative Scott Paradise said.
Read the full article. The piece notes that there is no record of Walker ever publicly mentioning his second son.
“I want to apologize to the African-American community, because the fatherless home is a major, major problem,” I have been “like a father to some of those kids that had never had fathers.”
Herschel Walker’s second son’s mother went to court for paternity and child support.

Walker’s secret son has grown up more than 1,500 miles from Walker’s Texas home.
In a statement, Walker’s campaign acknowledged the existence of his secret son, saying Walker is “proud of his children.” https://t.co/LudUoHDhaw
