Herschel Walker’s son said his father ran in Georgia’s US Senate race after former President Donald Trump spent months demanding that he do so, even as others begged Walker not to enter the race over his “insane past.”
The Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated Walker in the Senate runoff election on Tuesday. Walker’s campaign had been marked by allegations including that he paid for women to have abortions despite taking a strict stance against abortion access.
His son, Christian Walker, tweeted on Tuesday that his father had rejected calls not to run after Trump repeatedly told him to enter the race.
“The Truth: Trump called my dad for months DEMANDING that he run,” Christian Walker said. “Everyone with a brain begged him: ‘PLEASE DON’T DO THIS. This is too dirty, you have an insane past… PLEASE DONT DO THIS.’ We got the middle finger. He ran.”
He also accused the Republican Party of running his father in the election because of his skin color.
