Herschel Walker's son revels in father's Georgia Senate runoff defeat

Christian Walker sent a series of celebratory tweets that recalled the candidate’s alleged history of mistreatment of his family

Among the many detractors celebrating Herschel Walker’s defeat in the Georgia Senate runoff was one closer to home: son Christian, who expressed his delight on Twitter that the state had rejected his controversial father.

“Don’t beat women, hold guns to peoples [sic] heads, fund abortions then pretend your [sic] pro-life, stalk cheerleaders, leave your multiple minor children alone to chase more fame, lie, lie, lie, say stupid crap, and make a fool of your family,” the younger Walker said in the first of a flurry of tweets posted on Tuesday night as the Democrat Raphael Warnock was projected to be the winner.

“And then maybe you can win a Senate seat.”

It can never be known how much damage the younger Walker’s social media posts during the campaign, castigating his father for abandoning his wife and children, running off with other women and paying for girlfriends’ abortions, did to his father’s hopes of reaching Washington DC.

But an early happy family reunion would seem unlikely in the wake of Christian’s latest barrage of messages and insults.

His father obviously doesn't care about any of his children, or any of the women he had them with.
