Looks like the Daily Beast hit piece may have backfired, at least in the interim.
Reports are that Herschel Walker has had a record-breaking fundraising day after the hit piece was released:
NEWS: Sources inside @HerschelWalker #GASEN campaign confirm to @dcexaminer: The Georgia Republican had "record-breaking" fundraising day after @thedailybeast story broke: Walker raised $182K, inclu $50K during his @seanhannity interview on @FoxNews

Some idiot responded to the news on Twitter like this:
So a story breaks that he paid for his girlfriends abortion and the “right-to-life” “Christian” horde sends him record amounts of money for his campaign. Please explain this to me like I don’t already have it figured out.

It’s because nobody believes it’s true! It’s just another anonymously-sourced piece by some leftist designed, not to inform, but to hurt Herschel Walker.
Also, there are never any pieces like this by the Daily Beast on his opponent or on Democrats in general because they support Democrats. And conservatives hate the double standard. And that turns into big fundraising days like this one.
Lastly, Trump threw his unequivocal support behind Herschel Walker today amidst this leftist drama:
That alone probably netted Herschel a few bucks I bet…
