for marijuana position is a massive be fd. too many lives have been upended by our failed approach to marijuana. it s time we right these wrongs. all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. the herschel walker story keeps getting worse for herschel walker. earlier this week, of course, the daily beast first reported that walker, the trump endorsed the republican nominee for georgia s senate seat, had paid for a woman s abortion in 2009. the report contains a lots of contemporaneous evidence that has not been reviewed by us here at nbc news. it included the literal receipt for the procedure, that check walker sent to a woman, and even they get well card walker apparently mailed her, complete with what sure looks like his signature. now, as we ve said, nbc news is not independently verified the stories, this is a the daily beast or. walker vehemently denied the allegation when it first broke. he said he had no idea who the woman making the al
