Republican Party stands by Herschel Walker as he denies he paid for an abortion

The national Republican Party apparatus is standing behind its U.S. Senate candidate in Georgia, Herschel Walker, following a report in the Daily Beastthat alleges he paid for a girlfriend’s abortion in 2009.

Walker, a vocal abortion opponent, called the report a “flat-out” lie in a statement posted on Twitter.

“I never asked anyone to get an abortion,” Walker told Fox News shortly after the story broke Monday night. “I never paid for an abortion. And it’s a lie. And I’m going to continue to fight. They want this seat. Right now, they’ve energized me even more.”
