Herschel Walker’s outspoken sonChristianhas more to say following his father’s loss to Sen.Raphael Warnockin the Georgia Senate runoff on Tuesday.
“The Truth: Trump called my dad for months DEMANDING that he run,“Christian tweetedTuesday night. “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.”
The 23-year-old then followed the tweet with another one, defending his mother,Cindy DeAngelis Grossman.
“This is my amazing mom who’s had her name and image dragged through the media unwillingly,” Christianwrote, alongside a photo of Cindy. “She refused to talk to any journalist after 18 months of stalking. I blew up after she was lied on multiple times. Shoutout to every strong mother whose story goes untold. We love you.”
Tuesday was not the first time that Christian, an aspiring right-wing social media star, has spoken out about his father and his controversy-plagued Senate run.
In October, Christian shared that he was no longer supporting his father.
“I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us,” Christian wrote on Twitter of his mother, who is no longer married to the former Dallas Cowboys running back.

He continued, “You’re not a ‘family man’ when you left us to bang a bunch of women,” and claimed that Herschel “threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence.”
Shortly after Christian made the allegations, Herschelposted a tweetthat simply said, “I LOVE my son no matter what.”
The candidate had an early endorsement of former PresidentDonald Trump, who called the former athlete a “friend, a patriot, and an outstanding American who is going to be a GREAT United States Senator.”
He was also caught in a string of lies about things likehis education,his employment historyandCOVID cures that he claimed to haveat the start of the pandemic.
Then, Walker’s personal life took the spotlight. In October, the Daily Beastreported that the anti-choice candidate had once paid for a woman to abort a pregnancy in 2009 — a claim hevehemently denied, telling Fox News' Sean Hannity in a televised interview he had “no idea” who the woman making the accusation was. Days later, the Beast was back with a new report, this time alleging that not only did Walker know the woman, but he alsohas a child with her.
