The Daily Beast reports:
After a woman revealed that Republican senatorial candidate Herschel Walker had urged her to have an abortion, Walker adamantly denied the story and claimed he had no idea who this woman could be.

Walker’s wife has repeatedly reached out to the woman and even asked her to release a positive statement about Walker when The Daily Beast revealed he had out-of-wedlock children whom he’d not actively raised. She provided the texts to The Daily Beast. https://t.co/GOhdRg0RTM

The woman said that while she’s been a “good sport” about the campaign, after Walker’s denial, she could no longer keep this information from the public. “I’ve been very civil thus far. But I’m also not gonna get run over time and time again.” https://t.co/GOhdRg0RTM
