The Republican Accountability Project has created a new commercial emphasizing Herschel Walker’s ex-accusations wife’s that he placed a pistol to her head and threatened to “blow her brains out” during the Senate campaign in Georgia.
‘Do you believe you recognize Herschel Walker? ‘Think again,’ says the ad, which was funded by an anti-Trump Republican organization. ‘His eyes would become really wicked.’ the firearms and knives I had a couple choking incidents with him. ‘The first time he put the pistol to my head, he put it to my temple and said he was going to blow my brains out,’ Walker’s ex-wife, Cindy Grossman, claimed in old video edited into the commercial. From 1983 through 2002, the couple was married. The Trump-backed politician and former NFL player has been forthright about his diagnosis with dissociative personality disorder.
Walker discussed the claims of marital violence with Axios in December. ‘I’m always responsible for anything I’ve ever done,’ he says. ‘And that’s what I tell people: I’m responsible.’
‘I put on the cast just as I did when I fractured my leg.’ ‘It healed,’ he said.
He did, however, tell Axios that Grossman is his “best buddy.”
Walker, a longstanding Trump admirer, published a book about his struggle with dissociative identity disorder in 2008.
He described previous aggressive ideas of killing himself and others. Walker also claimed to have a dozen other personalities, claiming that some alters were nice while others were severe and vicious.
Walker has been a champion for mental health awareness in the military since the publication of his book, and if elected to the U.S. Senate from Georgia, he plans to increase mental health services across health care, law enforcement, and the military.
‘Most of what I’ve done since my problems have showed people that you can be knocked down and rise back up,’ he says. ‘And that is what I want people to understand.’ ‘Don’t be embarrassed to face your problems,’ he continued.
‘It’s incredibly difficult for a male. It’s considerably more difficult for an African American male,’ Walker remarked. ‘However, I want people to see that.’ That is one of the primary reasons I chose to run.
Walker had already been accused of abuse and aggressive conduct by two other women.
In September 2002, CNN received a police record outlining a Texas lady, a friend of Grossman, claiming authorities that Walker threatened and pursued her.
The lady informed authorities Walker threatened her and had her home monitored.
She corroborated the narrative to CNN for the report on Thursday but declined to be named. In addition, the lady said she had never been in a relationship with Walker.
Walker is set to marry Julie Blanchard in May 2021.
According to the Daily Beast, he has three estranged, hidden children.
Walker’s team subsequently acknowledged that the senatorial candidate, who has previously blasted absentee dads in minority neighborhoods, had a 10-year-old kid who he fathered out of wedlock and had to take to court to get child support.
In a follow-up Thursday, The Daily Beast reported that Walker admitted he has a second hidden son, Christian, 22, with a different woman, as well as an adult daughter – meaning the Republican has four children rather than simply Christian, who has been aiding his father’s campaign.
Walker will face incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in November, who, like Walker, has faced claims of domestic violence.
Ouleye Warnock, his ex-wife, accused him of running over her foot with his automobile in March 2020. She told officers she was’very quiet about the way he is for the sake of my kids and his reputation’ about his U.S. Senate run.
‘I’ve tried for a long time to keep the way he behaves under wraps, and today he crossed the line,’ she claimed. ‘That’s what’s going on here. And he’s a fantastic actor. He is amazing at putting on a great show.’
At the time, Warnock told investigators that his wife had exaggerated the event and that he did not crush her foot. He was never arrested or charged with a crime.
According to a FiveThirtyEight polling average, Warnock presently leads Walker 47.2 to 44.2 percent.
