“Democrats didn’t expose it, they didn’t expose the family values lie. Republicans exposed their own lie,” former RNC chair Michael Steele said.
Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee, said Thursday that GOP’s “family values ruse” has been “busted” after reports this week alleged that Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker paid for a woman’s abortion in 2009.
In a report published on Monday, a woman told The Daily Beast that Walker paid for her abortion. In a follow-up on Wednesday, it said that the woman who brought the allegation forward is also the mother of one of Walker’s children. On the campaign trail, Walker has opposed abortion and said he is in favor of a total ban.
Walker slammed the first report, calling the claim a “flat-out lie.” In response to the second report, he said: “As I have already said, there is no truth to this or any other Daily Beast report.”
Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Thursday, Steele was asked by host Joe Scarborough about Republicans who said they still support Walker after the release of the reports.
