One of Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker's more vocal supporters suddenly changed his tune on Monday.
The former NFL running back turned politician was the subject of several tweets posted by his son, conservative provocateur Christian Walker.
The younger Walker posted:
"Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew (some of) his past."
"Every single one."
"He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it."
"I’m done."
\u201cEvery family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew (some of) his past. Every single one. He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it. \n\nI\u2019m done.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845280
He added:
"I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us."
"You’re not a 'family man' when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence."
\u201cI know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us. \n\nYou\u2019re not a \u201cfamily man\u201d when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845932
Christian Walker completed his attack on his father posting:
"I don’t care about someone who has a bad past and takes accountability."
"But how DARE YOU LIE and act as though you’re some 'moral, Christian, upright man'."
"You’ve lived a life of DESTROYING other peoples lives. How dare you."
\u201cI don\u2019t care about someone who has a bad past and takes accountability. But how DARE YOU LIE and act as though you\u2019re some \u201cmoral, Christian, upright man.\u201d You\u2019ve lived a life of DESTROYING other peoples lives. How dare you.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845932
This was a marked difference from Walker's previous posts about his father's Senate run.
\u201cHappy Fathers Day @HerschelWalker !!!! Thank you for all you do and for your love of our GREAT country. Can\u2019t wait to see all you do ... \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u2764\ufe0f\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1624232883
\u201cHad the honor of introducing my dad, @HerschelWalker, last night at Mar a Lago. \n\nI got to preach about how authoritarian and HORRIFIC Democrats are, then got to hug a future senator. Perfect night.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1638492034
The abrupt change left people with questions.
Walker's fellow conservatives responded to his post by throwing his prior support of his father in his face.
\u201c@CalebJHull @ChristianWalk1r Looks like Christian is taking some payouts. Sad.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845932
\u201c@ChristianWalk1r I'm old enough to remember when you were down with the Hersch.\n\nWhat changed? Is your "brand" damaged?\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845280
But Walker claimed his father lied to garner his support.
\u201c@JackPosobiec Yea Jack well, that was when we were told he was going to \u201cget in front of his past and tell the truth.\u201d\n\nYou know, before he started lying about my mom and his behavior.\u201d— Jack Posobiec \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Jack Posobiec \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1664851652
On Tuesday morning, Christian Walker posted two videos to his Twitter account to share "the full story."
\u201cI\u2019ve spoken to nearly all of the people who have attacked me and told them quietly that I didn\u2019t want to be involved.\n\nNow they\u2019re blaming me for everything I\u2019m not responsible for. It\u2019s disgusting.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664888890
People agreed Herschel Walker was a poor choice for a Senator.
\u201c@PedroRhetorical @ChristianWalk1r What hasn\u2019t he lied about.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845280
\u201c@Boeing74 @ChristianWalk1r @MEPFuller His dad paid for an abortion for his girlfriend in 2009.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845280
\u201c@Adamant_Actual @ChristianWalk1r I guess there might\u2019ve been one but we\u2019ll never know now\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845280
\u201c@UnitedGeorgia @ChristianWalk1r You had \u201cpull out\u201d right there and didn\u2019t go for it?\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845280
\u201c@ChristianWalk1r Your father Herschel Walker was never qualified to be a US Senator, he should suspend his candidacy right now for the good of Georgia and the USA\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845932
\u201c@KeithHu84885107 @ChristianWalk1r Serious question and I hope you reply:\nWhy do you support him to become the Senator? Is it only because he is running as a Republican? He is a proven liar, he\u2019s violent and abusive, has trouble thinking and speaking clearly, and is a misogynist. So why? Why pick this?\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845932
\u201c@RanaBoBana2 @KeithHu84885107 @ChristianWalk1r Those are all positives for the GOP.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664845932
But many were less than sympathetic for Christian Walker given his extensive history of mocking and attacking others online and in real life.
\u201c@ChristianWalk1r I don\u2019t know you from Adam, and I have never judged you because of your father. I judged you because of your awful horrible words. The words that come out of your mouth. And that\u2019s no one else\u2019s responsibility but yours. \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664888890
\u201c@Jonibyoung @ChristianWalk1r He literally judges everyone and expects not to be judged... it took him over a year to come out against his dad's lies that he kept a secret... he's no better.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664888890
\u201c@jkohl67 @Jonibyoung @ChristianWalk1r Agreed.\nHim being a victim does nothing to offset the amount of hate and disinfo he has spread.\n\nHis family life may have been bad, but that's zero surprise to anyone paying attention.\n\nHis actions are his own. Christian has countless victims of the hate he's helped spread.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664888890
\u201c@ChristianWalk1r @SpiroAgnewGhost Maybe reconsider your closely held beliefs. Be reflective and willing to adjust your approach. I feel bad that your dad was (and is) a jerk and it must have been hard on you. But try to grow.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664888890
\u201c@ChristianWalk1r As a surviver of abuse and gaslighting, I get what you are saying, but I'm having trouble shaking how nasty you've been towards Reverend Warnock's supporters. Downright nasty. I hope you can heal. It's a tough road & my prayers are with you despite the pain you've spread\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664888890
\u201c@ChristianWalk1r Remember this in future when you are blasting other people\u2019s lives and choices. You seem upset that people are making assumptions about your life. Recall that when you are making assumptions about others.\u201d— Christian Walker (@Christian Walker) 1664888890
It remains to be seen what effect, if any, Christian Walker's tweets will have on his father's Senate race.
But, if the way Christian's own party and fellow conservatives now seem to be attacking him is any indication, it may not have much of an effect at all.
