Maureen Dowd: 'Once, there were limits, things that could disqualify you from office, especially in the party that claimed a special relationship with Jesus. But those limits don’t exist anymore.'
In this March 8, 1984, photo, then-New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump, left, shakes hands with Herschel Walker at a press conference in New York, after agreeing on a four-year contract.This will sound quaint.
Christian-right leaders made clear that, no matter what Trump said or did to women, he was preferable to Hillary Rodham Clinton, who supported abortion rights. Now, in Georgia, conservatives are turning a blind eye to sordid stories coming out about Herschel Walker, who demonstrates no qualifications for serving in the Senate. His sole credential is that he was once excellent at carrying a football.
On Friday, The Times published a story confirming The Daily Beast’s reporting, and in a startling development added that in 2011, Herschel pressured the same woman to have another abortion. They ended their relationship when she refused; she had their son, now 10. Privately, some Republicans are mortified by the Walker spiral, but they’re going to brazen it out for the win.
