Video of Walker comparing unions and peaceful protesters to ISIS:
Walker told the CPAC audience, “We need have someone
who leads and ultimately will send a message that not only will we
protect American soil, but…freedom-loving people anywhere else in the
world. We need that confidence. If I can take on a hundred thousand
protesters, I can do the same across the world.”
DNC Communications Director Mo Elleithee responded,
“If Scott Walker thinks that it’s appropriate to compare working people
speaking up for their rights to brutal terrorists, then he is even less
qualified to be president than I thought. Maybe he should go back to
punting.”
Scott Walker’s statement was a direct insult to
millions of working Americans, but it is proof that Walker is going to
try to ride his union-busting the whole way to the White House. The fact
that Walker considers peaceful protesters to be on par with terrorists
demonstrates that he is not qualified for office.
Gov. Walker has abused his power and illegally arrested protesters for years. As governor, Walker has specialized in arresting grandmothers and children for singing. Scott Walker was forced to back down from a plan to arrest people for watching a protest.
Scott Walker has been fumbling foreign policy questions
left and right, but his biggest mistake yet may be absurdly trying to
inflate his resume by comparing peaceful protesters and union members to
terrorists. Comparing citizens of his home state to terrorists is the
kind of red meat that the CPAC crowd eats up, but to the rest of the
country, Scott Walker is proving that he isn’t fit to be president.
