Who is Christian Walker?

Christian Walker is a popular conservative figure, who has amassed a huge following on social media. Walker routinely bashes liberals, feminists, and abortion rights activists on his social accounts, contentiously revealing how his father paid for the abortion of his former girlfriend, and also encouraged her for a second abortion, all while taking a pro life stance in public campaigns. 

“Family values, people?” Christian Walker said in a video, unleashing a scandal. “He has four kids, four different women, he wasn’t in the house raising one of them, he was out having sex with other women. Do you care about family values?”

The elder Walker denied the abortion allegation, following up with a tweet saying “I LOVE my son no matter what.”
