Former Congressman Joe Walsh officially announced his candidacy for the 2020 Republican nomination today, vowing to defeat incumbent President Donald J. Trump.
"Friends, I'm in. We can't take four more years of Donald Trump. And that's why I'm running for President. It won't be easy, but bravery is never easy," Walsh tweeted. "But together, we can do it."
"We have someone in the White House who we all know is unfit. Someone who lies virtually every time he opens his mouth," he stated in his campaign video. "We cannot afford four more years."
Since exiting Congress, Walsh has been in the news for his outspoken criticism of President Trump, previous tweets claiming former President Obama is a Muslim, and being pranked by Sacha Baron Cohen into showing support for arming kindergarten students with guns.
Walsh claims he was tricked into showing support for a made-up Israeli defense program titled "The Kindergaurdians." He was invited by Cohen's team to accept a phony award, and was asked to sit down for an interview. He was told to read from a teleprompter that the program was "an example of how Israel trains and arms preschool kids on how to use firearms, and boy shouldn’t we do that in America?”
In an interview on CNN regarding that stunt, Michael Smerconish asked, "Did an alarm go off in your head, congressman?"
"It did," Walsh answered, "but it was too late."
He joins former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld in challenging the president on the GOP side.

Describes Hitlery Rotten Clinton.
Barack Hussein Obama was a liar and the leader of an unconstitutional coup.
FUJW
Virtually no one does. He barely made it to the heavy hundred list at #95 amid a bunch of local talkers no one ever heard of.
Will Salem let him keep his show if he is a candidate? If not, there goes the child support money...
Also Flake, Kasich, the Bush family and Romney.

I guess that even a dead guy is better than Joe Walsh.
I hope the Democrats contribute a few hundred million to his campaign. That’s money they won’t have in the general.
Oh he will definitely help President Trump without realizing it.
Someone first has to tell me who the hell Joe Walsh is.
Name the lies, please...
I hope they fire him.
“...Someone first has to tell me who the hell Joe Walsh is....”
Just another loser trying to get some media time for his “name”...whatever that is...
This moron said we are not ruled by GOD.
Joe Walsh does not speak for me.
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and as my Lord, Joe, that does mean He rules me.
Oh for pete sake what a self aggrandizing twat. My eyes have rolled so far back in my head I am typing blind.
BUMP! BUMP!
Like Weld, he’s there for one primary reason: To get in front of Leftist TV cameras and BASH TRUMP.
Secondary reason is to be there if Trump, for any reason, doesn’t run in 2020.
If Trump is on the ballot, he knows full well that his chance of knocking Trump off the ballot are about as high as Trump getting a majority of voters in San Francisco.
But he will ACT like he really does have a chance - again, only to get air time to BASH TRUMP. Asshole. (not you, Kaslin, of course)
My pet peeve is using the word "together" like so many left-wing politicians do. What they mean is their big mouth and our money.
Just another hack who knows he will lose but gets to keep all the money the supporters dish out.
It’s why so many democrats are in the run.
He is neither a republican nor a rino…
THIS PUTZ IS A FULL BLOWN NUT.
