While Walker won hearts of former President Donald Trump and Republican voters, he faced retaliation from critics and Democrats for false claims that he made before and during his candidacy that surfaced in recent months from his education and alleged law enforcement experience to his interrogation of the evolution and advancement of the “fog”, in his words, will be “kill any covid on your body”.

Before and during his candidacy, Walker repeatedly spoke of how proud that he father. He also was frank about how fathers, especially those in black community needs presence and active in their children’s lives.
In 2020, Walker told Charlie Kirk, chief executive of in conservative non-profit organization Turning Point USA, fathers-of-fathers in Black households made up a significant issue.

Walker and woman who not publicly identified, had a relationship between 2008 and 2011, according to a 2013 petition from lawyer Andrés Alonso. The petition says they separated about eight months before the baby was born. on May 31, 2012 in District of New York.
“The child has mother graduate student at Columbia University struggling make ends meet. Unfortunately, Mr. Walker has so far decided not to accept full financial duty for care of his supposed son,” the petition read at the time. “We hope that with innings of Mr. Walker’s petition finally admits true degree of his support obligations.”
More than year Walker was later ordered to pay the child support for guy who was already more over 2 years old.
Walker was met with criticism from Democrats such as CNN analyst Bakary Sellers, Mr. former Democratic member of South Carolina house of Representatives: “.@HerschelWalker out Black lectures here men on fatherhood and haven’t seen their child since Obama first term,” he tweeted.
