Herschel Walker Reportedly Lied to His Campaign About His Secret Children

Herschel Walker is experiencing the hard way what it’s like to run for political office.

Over the past few months it has been revealed that the former NFL star running back has lied about his academic record, thatā€™s he has lied about his business record, and he even has a secret son he doesnā€™t see. It was then revealed a few weeks ago that he has two more secret children.

The Daily Beast reported on Thursday that Walker has been lying to his own campaign about all of these children.

This account of Walker lying to his own campaign about his children comes from a closely connected adviser and was verified by communications that the source turned over to The Daily Beast. We are not quoting from the messages out of concern that they could potentially expose the sourceā€™s identity.

The communications reveal a campaign and a candidate in chaos.

Emails and texts show advisers discussing how they donā€™t trust Walkerā€”both to tell the truth to them and to handle campaign events properlyā€”and harboring concerns that he isnā€™t mentally fit for the job.

He spouts falsehoods ā€œlike heā€™s breathing,ā€ this adviser saidā€”so much so that his own campaign stopped believing him long ago.

ā€œHeā€™s lied so much that we donā€™t know whatā€™s true,ā€ the person said, adding that aides have ā€œzeroā€ trust in the candidate. Three people interviewed for this article independently called him a ā€œpathological liar.ā€

The Walker campaign declined comment.”

The news that Walker has repeatedly lied to his campaign is just the tip of the iceberg for the former football star who cruised to the Republican nomination for Senate in Georgia.

I wonder what Herschel’s son has to say about this:
