Walker rejects meeting with Black Lives Matter leaders
UPI ^ | Aug. 21, 2015 | Ed Adamcyk

Republican presidential nomination candidate Scott Walker dismissed suggestions he would meet with leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement Friday.

Campaigning on a four-day swing through New Hampshire, the Wisconsin governor spoke at a "Politics and Eggs" breakfast meeting hosted by the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College in Manchester. When an African-American audience member asked what he would to do prevent shootings of citizens by police, Walker defended police and mentioned state legislation he signed mandating independent reviews of police shootings.

Good for him.

Now all he has to do is stand by his decision and not cave to pressure from the race-hustlers and their media lap-dogs.

Good for him! Those bullies have no intention of ever voting for Republicans. The Gibsmedats will never leave the Democrats’ Free Stuff Plantation, so don’t waste valuable time with fools.

Good to see he’s not giving the time of day to a group of syndico-anarchist doosh bags who pretend to care about violence.

A very good move. There's no "meeting" with this nut-roots Soros-funded astroturf (having lately graduated to dangerous, murdering mass movement) without recognizing their false narrative.

Some people you don't meet with.

Slowly but surely black conservatives are comming forth accepting the reality that Obama created this hyphenation of Americans using race for his own political purposes. As a political tactic to defer any constitutional questioning action of the 1st branch by the 2nd branch of government.

The sad part is we do have a black candidate now in second place in current polling running for POTUS who has yet to speakout on this matter. Until he does Carson doesn’t deserve that 2nd spot.

He may not be the most charismatic candidate in the room but I hope he stays in the race. We need people like Scott Walker.

Only thing better would have been if Governor Walker had looked the “African-American” right in the eye and said, “The best way to stop police shootings is for YOU to control yourselves and your kids. Man up, asshat!”

Walker defends police, calls for independent investigations into police shootings, and refuses to meet with “Black Lives Matter” thugs.

How odd that conservative joy didn’t come slithering over here. Every other thread she or he is bashing Walker up and down. Funny she isn’t here trying to say how awful this is for Walker to do.
