"I Cannot Wear Skins..."

New: Herschel Walker, who has pushed for a national abortion ban, says of paid-abortion allegation on @hughhewitt: “If that had happened, I would have said there's nothing to be ashamed of there. People have done that — but I know nothing about it.” pic.twitter.com/Tqx48i3rGK

That was this morning:

Reporter: You said that if this did happen, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Walker: Wait, I never said it.
Reporter: You said it this morning on Hugh Hewitt's show.

This AM, Walker: "If that had happened, I would have said it, because there's nothing to be ashamed of there." https://t.co/jObEK193lg

No idea what he's talking about this afternoon. (I also don't understand why he's "been forgiven" (by God? does that mean it never happened? Or that he's no longer responsible for his actions? So Christian forgiveness is a "Get Out of Jail Free" card? Huh.)

I think or assume that’s not what he meant but the actual words are “because of the article I had more kids.” I thought he was more focused on crisis response. But there it is. https://t.co/pVOIkhzwkx

It's not unreasonable to expect a bit more clarity of thought and speech from a public officeholder, especially a potential Senator of the United States.

Reporter: What's your reaction to your son and a mother of your kids saying you're lying?

Herschel Walker: Just like what I just said, the Democrat are desperate for this seat.

Reporter: But your family said it, not the Democrats.

Herschel Walker: I love my family. https://t.co/nzrG2ZEJKd

And to have some basic sense of what "family" actually means. The woman who said he paid for her abortion is the mother of one of his acknowledged children.

I cannot wear skins, neither can I roam while Gilgamesh has gone forever to the house of monuments.

His statements wouldn't have made any more sense had he just said that.
