A lot has been said and written about The Daily Beast story from Tuesday that alleged Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker, currently locked in a tight battle with Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock, paid a woman to have an abortion in 2009.
Though Walker denies the allegation and has threatened a lawsuit against TDB, his critics are using the story to do a number of things: 1) “prove” that it shows Walker is a hypocrite on his pro-life stance and publicly-stated commitment to family and 2) “prove” that Walker is a volatile, unstable person of questionable character.
Opinions, of course, vary on the subject with most falling along party lines.
But it’s conservative commentator and radio host Dana Loesch whose opinions on the allegation against Walker as part of her overall thoughts on the state of the closely-watched Georgia Senate race that triggered The Usual Suspects, including the co-hosts of “The View,” who clutched pearls during the Thursday broadcast over what Loesch had to say.
Before we get to that, take a look/listen at Loesch’s commentary (transcribed from the video):“So, does this change anything? I mean, do you want my opinion? Not a damn thing. How many times have I said four very important words? These four: Winning. Is. A. Virtue.
What I’m about to say is in no means a contradiction or a compromise of a principle. And please keep in mind that I am concerned about one thing and one thing only at this point. So I don’t care if Herschel Walker paid to abort endangered baby eagles. I want control of the Senate.
If the Daily Beast story is true, you’re telling me Walker used his money to reportedly pay some skank for an abortion, and Warnock wants to use all of our monies to pay a whole bunch of skanks for abortions.”She went on to say that since the vast majority of abortions are performed for matters of convenience and in some instances are paid for with taxpayer dollars, that she has every right to provide input using whatever descriptors she wanted to.

On Thursday’s “View” program, the co-hosts had to reach for the smelling salts, including Whoopi Goldberg, who was especially incensed that Loesch would use the word “skanks” to describe a woman who went to have an abortion. Alyssa Farah Griffin, desperately seeking approval from the other hosts as the lone “conservative” voice, also chimed in, proclaiming that Loesch’s comments represent the “moral rot that’s taking over my party”:
Anti-Life @WhoopiGoldberg rage at @DLoesch for defending Herschel Walker. "I'm keeping calling you a name out of my mouth," she sneered.

Loesch, who expanded on her thoughts in a Substack post and who has spent some time on Twitter defending what she said and calling out critics, responded accordingly to what Goldberg and Griffin had to say.
“I refuse to coddle or celebrate irresponsible women who use abortion as birth control. I’m right, so get over it. That you’re angrier over that than murder speaks volumes about your character,” she tweeted to Goldberg.
To Griffin, Loesch wrote “good to know you find an honest description of females who use abortion as birth control more heinous than actual murder. Thanks for showing you’re willing to put lives on the chopping block if it means the left will validate you.”
I thought the “left” progressives loved abortions.
Does this make EVERY progressive who has a child a “hypocrite,” too?
Sounds like they want ALL taxpayers to cover the costs for abortion while ONLY they can avial themselves of one.
The height of hypocrisy.
As I mentioned before, campaign slurs like this remind me of the Roy Moore case. In a close, pivotal race for a Senate seat, the left suddenly drums up accusations of sexual assaults of underage girls. Even though the accusations quickly began falling apart, the leftist DNC-propaganda-promoting media continued to carry the ball to the end zone even after the whistle of fact has been blown. Moore, of course, lost his race but has since filed a defamation suit against the DNC and won, meaning that, yes indeed, the accusations were false, baseless and totally political.
I have no doubts the accusations against Walker are just as credible. It is simply what the left does.
I can recall some leftist admitting they knew Obama was lying about opposing same-sex “marriage” in order to get votes and get elected. That was OK because in the end, he did what the far left wanted. So, what’s the difference? First, I don’t by any stretch consider this smear is credible, but the overriding need is for Republicans take the House and Senate and do so with the size of a majority that can impeach and remove the criminals and incompetents infecting our nation today.
