"You’re not a family man when you left us for a bunch of women, threatened to kill us" - Herschel Walker's son lashes out at his father as former NFL player runs for office

Former NFL running back Herschel Walker is currently running to become the next United States Senator for the state of Georgia. Walker, a Republican, will face off against incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock in November. His campaign has been contentious, to say the least, with everyone speaking out against the former running back. That list now includes his own family, especially his son Christian.

On Monday, Christian Walker took to Twitter to express his feelings about his father running for office. Christian didn't hold back when he spoke about his father and the fact that he and his mother asked him not to seek a political position.

In the first Tweet, he stated that every member of the family asked him not to run because of transgressions from his past. He also said that his father basically hasn't listened and essentially has since aired out all of the family secrets,

"Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew (some of) his past. Every single one. He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it. I’m done."-via @ChristianWalk1r

In the next Tweet, Christian wrote that he and his mother would appreciate it if Herschel stopped embarrassing their family. He said that his father is not invested in their family and that he constantly left them to have extramarital affairs. Christian then accused the former NFL player of domestic violence and death threats.

"I know my mom and I would really appreciate if my father Herschel Walker stopped lying and making a mockery of us. You’re not a “family man” when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence.:- via @ChristianWalk1r

The 23 year old is the only son of Herschel and his ex-wife Cindy Grossman. The couple were married for 19 years and divorced in 2002. Christian is a right-wing social media influencer who refers to himself as a "free speech radicalist" on his Twitter bio.
