On Wednesday, a second woman came forward claiming she had an abortion at the behest of Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschelle Walker and on financial support – a budding politician who campaigned on a pro-life platform.
In his Thursday night monologue, “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert jumped on the topic, joking that the former NFL running back was so much into the abortion clinic that he probably “has his own parking spot.”
AP reports That the other woman cited covering up an abortion Walker in 1993, an allegation that comes just weeks after being embroiled in an abortion allegation since 2009.
While making a Zoom call with reporters, as arranged by his lawyer, Gloria Allred, the unnamed woman, identified only as “Jane Doe”, recalled being pregnant during their six-year affair, while Walker was married to his first wife.
“I am here today because he has publicly taken the position that he is ‘about life’ and is against abortion under any circumstances, in fact, he pressured me to have an abortion and personally Made sure it happened by taking me to the clinic and paying for it,” said the woman.
Colbert lay down on that last nugget and ran away with it on Thursday.
The “Late Show” host said of her set-up, “Yesterday, another woman came forward claiming that Walker not only paid her to have an abortion, but took her to the clinic.” “He’s been there a lot, I think he has his own parking lot at this point.”
Colbert then noted the ways that even Fox News is having trouble negotiating its coverage on the troubled politician. He pulled a clip with interviewer Brett Baer in which Walker was pushed to the fact that for some Georgia voters, “these issues affected him, to be honest.”
“They said they just weren’t sure and didn’t know another shoe was about to fall off,” Baird said in conversation with Walker.
,another Is the shoe going to fall off?” Colbert said incredulously. “How many feet does Herschel Walker have? Is that a centipede? That would explain why he was running so well. ,
