Herschel Walker, pushing back against abortion allegations, says ‘they’ve woken a grizzly bear’

With a month until Election Day and Herschel Walker facing the biggest controversy of his Senate campaign, the GOP nominee in Georgia says that Democrats have “woken a grizzly bear.”

Walker, who’s challenging first-term Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia in a race that’s among a handful across the country that will likely determine if the GOP wins back the Senate majority in November’s midterm elections, for over a week has been continuing to deny a bombshell report that he paid for a girlfriend’s abortion 13 years ago. 

The Daily Beast reported that Walker in 2009 urged an unnamed former girlfriend to get an abortion after she became pregnant while they were dating, and that he reimbursed her $700 for the procedure. The report cited interviews with a woman who said she had a bank receipt showing Walker’s alleged payment, and a "get well" card that he reportedly sent her.
