Sean Hannity on Tuesday attempted to spin Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker paying for a girlfriend’s abortion — as well as the resulting public rift between him and his son — as an attack on Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). The incumbent Democrat, the Fox News host asserted, is dealing with the “same” “family conflict” as is Walker.
On Monday, The Daily Beast revealed that Walker, a self-described anti-abortion candidate who opposes exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother, paid for an abortion in September 2009. Hours later, Walker denied doing so to Hannity, who actually pressed his chosen candidate on the details of the story, which include a get-well card and a check that Walker signed, as well as a receipt from an abortion clinic.
The next day, however, the right-wing cable host tried to shift the story onto Walker’s opponent in the November election.
