The reporter, Roger Sollenberger, wrote that the woman wanted to remain anonymous for “privacy concerns.” He corroborated the story with one of the woman’s close friends and also reported that the procedure took place when Walker was not married. (Read More Here).
In a statement posted on Twitter, Walker criticized the reporter and said, “This is another repugnant hatchet job from a Democrat activist disguised as a reporter who has obsessively attacked my family and tried to tear me down since this race started.”
The Daily Beast previously reported that Walker has four children, three sons and one daughter. He had not publicly disclosed three of the four before his Senate run but did so in June, after the report.
“He’s called my children ‘secret’ because I didn’t want to use them as campaign props in a political campaign. Now, they’re using an anonymous source to further slander me. They will do anything to hold onto power. It’s disgusting, gutter politics,” Walker said. “I’m not taking this anymore.”
Walker added he is planning to sue the Daily Beast “for this defamatory lie” and that his lawsuit would be filed Tuesday morning. However, Walker’s lawyer, Robert Ingram, told CBS News Tuesday, “We are currently considering our options, but no final decision has been made on the future handling of this matter.”
When he was asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview Monday about the “get well” card and the $700 check, Walker called it a lie and that he’s “never asked anyone to get an abortion.” Pressed again about the $700 check, he replied that he sends money “to a lot of people.”
Walker is in one of the the tightest Senate elections in the country, against Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock. Asked for his response to The Daily Beast’s report, Warnock told the Atlanta Journal Constitution, “I’ll let the pundits decide how they think it will impact the race.”
