Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made another massive misstep on Monday, hiring Liz Mair of Mair Strategies to handle communications and social media for his campaign-in-waiting.
Mair’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens, wide-open-borders immigration policies, and public advocacy for the Senate “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill is sure to dog Walker in Iowa, South Carolina, and other early presidential states.
During the Senate Gang of Eight bill fight, Mair very publicly and very aggressively promoted the amnesty bill—pushing it to media and making the case for the need for it over and over again. She claims her advocacy was done out of the good of her heart, for free, because for religious reasons she believes in amnesty and open borders. But Mair wouldn’t answer who was paying her bills for her advocacy during the timeframe of the “Gang of Eight” bill in early 2013 through the end of the last Congress–when asked by Breitbart News if any specific tech companies or a select group of Wall Street billionaires were paying her.

#1. Why would a conservative Republican associate with and conduct business with, and put into such a prominent position, an individual who is obviously pro-amnesty?
#2. Would you do this?
#3. If Walker happened to become president and put in a leftist pro-amnesty sympathizer/supporter as spokesperson for the Border Patrol, would you support that too?
#4. Do conservative media/communications experts who do not support or sympathize with amnesty for millions of illegal aliens not exist?
Perhaps you could answer the 4 basic questions in #41.
She worked for Scott Walker in his recall election in 2012. This hit piece article is making Brietbart look bad.

Not just that, Mair has also been a writer for Breitbart in the past.
We need to ask the people at Breitbart, or at least Matthew Boyle, that.

I noted you too evaded all the questions.
Perhaps you could answer the 4 basic questions in #41.
Thanks
Breitbart was a daily must visit while Andrew was alive, it's hardly the same place now.

Thanks.
Looks like Governor Walker will need to move to the right.
Again.
Add then this Walker kid has the support and endorsement of that agenda setter for the Islamic terrorist groups, C.A.I.R and The Muslim Brotherhood, Grover Norquist. Nice huh? Now watch ‘em twist themselves into little knots trying to spin that!
#1. Why would a conservative Republican associate with and conduct business with, and put into such a prominent position, an individual who is obviously pro-amnesty?
There are not a large pool of people in the nation who have experience and a good success record with the very tightly controlled and Federally regulated rules and laws required of a campaign. In a Presidential election with so many candidates already hinting that they will enter, a relative no-name like Walker has to get whomever he can at the moment. Most likely someone not already aligned with a particular candidate or already under contract.
#2. Would you do this?
Yes, if I was not able to contract someone more closely aligned with my personal politics I would definitely hire the best person I could get. My own real estate lawyer is a life-long Democrat who once ran for local office as a Democrat. He has never failed me.
#3. If Walker happened to become president and put in a leftist pro-amnesty sympathizer/supporter as spokesperson for the Border Patrol, would you support that too?
Too hypothetical. I understand your concern and I sympathize with your intent in this question; I just think it jumps too far ahead at the moment.
#4. Do conservative media/communications experts who do not support or sympathize with amnesty for millions of illegal aliens not exist?
Yes. But Walker hired the best contractor he could get who was not already under contract (or hoping to get a contract with another candidate). My brother, for instance, is one of only about 5 people in his state that can do what he does for candidates. He will only work with Republicans, but he is about as moderate in his views as can be and is, religiously speaking, basically an atheist, even though he has represented some very religious candidates. He has never let a client down. He will always give his clients 100%.
If you need to build a bridge and the best engineer you can hire thinks that global warming is real, you don’t not build the bridge. You just tell him what the rules are and write a bunch of binding requirements into the contract. Maybe not my best example....
Or, there is always the possibility that Walker is a big-time pro-Amnesty guy and hired a person that shares his views. I hope not. I don’t think so. But one can never be sure anymore.
There are not a large pool of people in the nation who have experience
No sale. That's ridicules.
#2. Would you hire a leftist open borders, pro-amnesty hack to do your talking?
Yes
There ya go.
#3. If Walker happened to become president and put in a leftist pro-amnesty sympathizer/supporter as spokesperson for the Border Patrol, would you support that too?
Too hypothetical.
That's one way to evade the question.
Is the man not considering running for president? It's the same scenario as ya have here.
#4. Do conservative media/communications experts who do not support or sympathize with amnesty for millions of illegal aliens not exist?
Yes. But
Yes but?
No, there is no but.
How many campaigns have you run, worked for, and won? How many were statewide, local, or national? How many campaign staff members have you hired and managed?
Here I thought you were a reasonable person looking for knowledge. I was mistaken.
I wish you the best of luck.
I was reasonable person until we disagreed on this guys changing positions and people he associates with?
Got it.
