Thursday 16 June 2022 06:25 PM GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker admits he has a SECOND secret son and a ... trends now
A video of Herschel Walker's son Christian tearing into deadbeat dads is getting attention after the Republican Georgia Senate hopeful admitted late Wednesday that he has a second secret son - and a daughter from a relationship he had in college.
The revelation comes a day after The Daily Beast first reported that Walker - who has previously criticized absentee fathers in black communities - had a 10-year-old son, which he fathered out of wedlock and had to be taken to court over so the mother could receive child support.
In a follow-up Thursday, The Daily Beast said Walker confirmed he had a second secret son, aged 13, with a different woman, and an adult daughter too - meaning the Republican has four children instead of just 22-year-old Christian, who has been helping with his father's campaign.
In a TikTok video posted last week, Christian Walker screams hysterically into his smartphone camera about Nick Cannon announcing that he's expecting his ninth child.
'Nick Cannon is everything wrong with men in America,' Christian Walker said. 'Get home and raise your kids!' he screamed.
'So he's too busy banging women to take care of his current kids, he can't control his ding-a-ling, he's out hooking up with all these women, multiple women pregnant at the same time - what is this his fifth, sixth baby mama?' the 22-year-old continued. 'Get home and raise your kids! And take care of the women you're knocking up! Can you control your thing for three seconds?'
'Can you just stay home and raise your kids!' he screamed again.

The Daily Beast reported that Herschel Walker has three children that were previously undisclosed. For years, Walker has criticized absentee fathers in the black community
Christian Walker has 125.5K TikTok followers and uses the platform and other social media sites to push conservative messages.
Earlier this month he attracted attention by announcing on Twitter that while he was attracted to men, he was 'NOT gay.'
It's unclear how much Christian Walker knows about his three siblings.
Herschel Walker's campaign tried to push that the candidate's children aren't secrets by supplying a form to the Beast that Walker filled out in 2018 to be appointed to former President Donald Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition that lists all four children and their ages.
'I have four children. Three sons and a daughter. They're not 'undisclosed'—they're my kids,' Walker told the publication in a statement. 'I support them all and love them all. I've never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, I just chose not to use them as props to win a political campaign.'
'What parent would want their child involved in garbage, gutter politics like this?' the Senate candidate added.
Walker also pushed back on the Beast's assertion that he was hiding his children.
'I can take the heat, that's politics,' the former NFL player said, 'but leave my kids alone.'
However, the campaign originally only mentioned on out-of-wedlock son in a statement provided to the Beast on Tuesday.
Over the years, Walker has criticized fatherless households and in a 2020 interview with the conservative activist Charlie Kirk, he called the absence of fathers 'a major, major problem'

Politician Bakari Sellers tweeted: 'Herschel Walker out here lecturing black men on fatherhood and ain’t seen his kid since Obama’s first term'
'Herschel had a child years ago when he wasn't married,' the statement said. 'He's supported the child and continues to do so. He's proud of his children. To suggest that Herschel is "hiding" the child because he hasn't used him in his political campaign is offensive and absurd.'
The mother of Walker's 10-year-old son went to court in 2013 for a paternity declaration and child support.
She said she and the ex-football player began their relationship on November 1, 2008.
That was three months before the birth of Walker's now 13-year-old son.
There are photos of Walker with the 13-year-old on his mother's public Facebook page.
The Daily Beast chose not to name the children and their mothers in the stories.
A poll that came out this week showed Walker
