A guest on ABCâs âThe Viewâ joked about Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker getting pregnant.
Actress Kathy Najimy appeared on The Viewâ Friday and was asked about her reaction to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade.
âI mean, at first, probably like you all I was dumbfounded and slightly didnât believe it,â she responded. âAnd then I realized that it was real. And I thought, âwow.'â
She went on, âYou who know I thought of? Iâm lucky enough to be friends with Gloria Steinem. And I thought, sheâs 88, and we have to fix this. We have to fix this right now.â
Najimy said she never takes off her 1973 necklace or ring, an apparent reference to the year Roe was decided.
âYou know, we all⊠those of us who care about choice and want to fight for a womenâs right for how to define her family and what to do with her bodyâŠâ she continued.
Co-host Ana Navarro interjected, âHerschel Walker apparently cares about it.â
âYes, exactly,â Najimy joked, adding, âLetâs get him pregnant.â
Watch the video below:
It is 2022, and we have been told by a Planned Parenthood doctor, âMen can have pregnancies, especially trans men.â
So perhaps they should watch what they jokingly wish for.
Her comments come after the Daily Beast reported Walker paid for a girlfriend to get an Abortion in 2009. The outlet was reportedly provided a personal check from Walker and a get well card.
Walker, who is running as a pro-life Republican, denied the story in a statement as he claimed it is âanother repugnant hatchet job from a democrat activist disguised as a reporter who has obsessively attacked my family and tried to tear me down since this race started.â
âHeâs harassed friends of mine, asking if I fathered their children. Heâs called my children âsecretâ because I didnât want to use them as campaign props in a political campaign. Now theyâre using an anonymous source to further slander me,â the statement added.
He later told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt âhad that happened, I would have said it, because itâs nothing to be ashamed of there. You know, people have done that, but I know nothing about it. And if I knew about it, I would be honest and talk about it.â
