Full Title: EXCLUSIVE — MICHELLE MALKIN: SCOTT WALKER DESERVES TO BE VETTED, ‘PROBLEMS’ MUCH BIGGER THAN OUSTED PRO-AMNESTY AIDE
Nationally syndicated conservative columnist Michelle Malkin, founder of the website Twitchy, tells Breitbart News that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker—a potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate—needs to be vetted. She also says Walker’s “problems” run much deeper than the decision to hire—then quickly let go of—pro-amnesty communications aide Liz Mair, who had taken shots at Iowa.
“Scott Walker has much bigger problems than the ill-considered hiring and firing of one D.C. operative,” Malkin said in an email.
What does he really stand for and is he fully equipped to bear the slings and arrows of his enemies on a national and global scale? Yes, he fought Big Labor and has managed his state well. But grass-roots activists in his state have long been warning me of his ideological gymnastics on core issues: immigration and education.
He has been on the same side as the progressive Left and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Right: pro-amnesty, pro-massive legal immigration expansionist, and pro-Common Core. He’s been left, right, center, and all over the map.
She added that Washington-based GOP establishment forces are good at backing up establishment politicians, as they seemed to have tried to do to defend Walker and Mair.
“The D.C. consultant class and Capitol Hill GOP operators are adept at swooping in to ‘rescue’ the campaigns of neophytes and molding them into Beltway barnacle tools,” Malkin said. “They did it with Spencer Abraham and Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan. Face it: Many of the D.C. messaging ‘experts’ and ‘communicators’ DO have their own policy agenda and it is naive or stupid to believe they have no sway or influence on ambitious, outside the Beltway seekers of higher public office with no fixed principles.”

I know Walker’s vetting process.
The last question he asks is, “Is there anything you haven’t told me that could embarrass me or the campaign?”
Several people I know have been through it. It is consistent for judicial, appointed or campaign staff.
She embarrassed him and the campaign.
Goodbye.
I like her, she’s been a great fighter for the conservative cause. You might want to look who she came up with last time: http://michellemalkin.com/2012/01/30/for-santorum/
Apparently she’d already done work for him ealier.
He appeals to Reagan Democrats and libertarians.
Nobody says he's perfect, none of the candidates are.
I was for West all the way as Sarah’s VP, (If she ran of course),...until I found out he supported and voted for that Nazi Germany style, indefinite detention of American citizens, (American citizens picked up off of our streets, locked up with no attorney, trial judge or jury required for us....indefinitely), simply if we are accused by the feds of ‘terroristic type activities’ or ‘terroristic type statements’. (remember, Joe Biden called Tea Party folks terrorists). No true conservative could possibly support the NDAA.
Why didn’t Walker IMMEDIATELY tell that C.A.I.R/Muslim Brotherhood muzzie terrorist piece of dirt, Grover Norquist, to take his support and endorsement and cram it? Why didn’t Walker distance himself from the muzzie Norquist ASAP?
“He’s been vetted at least 3 times. Lord we know more about him then any of the other candidates combined.....some we know nothing about.”
Not really. We may know a lot about his personal life. Whether he has any skeletons in his closet for example but what do we really know about his beliefs about issues that never came up during any of his runs for governor? For example, illegal immigration wasn’t even on the topic list for the state of WI.
This is a national election for POTUS. There are issues that Walker has never been vetted on before.
Eventually he will have to lay out his policies and a platform that he will run on. However his past statements and his behavior now will indicate how much we can trust what he says while he is campaigning. A candidate who seems consistent is going to win more trust than one who is all over the map as Walker has been.
It is impossible to be politically active in this country the past 6 years and not have some kind of opinion on immigration, gay marriage, common core etc. He just hasn’t decided which policy will be most likely to win him the WH.
LOL. No. Not that it matters but he has a bald spot and it is kind of in an odd spot. He said it is from an injury.
If you are looking at him straight on you won’t notice it. But if he looks down or you see him from behind it is very obvious.
No it wasn’t.....You meant she hasn’t been to Wisconsin ....recently.
That’s exactly what you said.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
Walker got emailed death threats, threats to rape his wife, during the fracas over Right-to-Work.
There were doctors standing on the street corner near the protests offering to sign “too sick to work” notes for protestors so they wouldn’t get in trouble for being away from their jobs.
Apparently Walker and Liz Mair have worked together a long time; may I suggest (reading her Twitter feed) that it is *she* who is not ready for the prime time; it looks like he grabbed any suitable pretext to throw her under the bus once Breitbart broke the news she is squishy at best on immigration.
Nice try, though.
I live next door, in Minnesota. We get a LOT of Wisconsin news.
Walker survived three recall attempts, and all kinds of shenanigans when he was going after the unions. If there were *any* legitimate dirt on him, they would have brought it out by now.
Hi Georgia,
Apparently you haven’t been following Walker much: or, possibly, you have another candidate you prefer...?
He stood toe-to-toe with the unions and won. He’s not an elitist; and he looks like he knows how to avoid gotcha questions (”How do you feel about evolution?” at an economic summit.)
Umm, Moorings —
He *fired* the amnesty reporter two days after Breitbart’s reporters let it out that she was one.
WIBamian
Since 02-25-2015.
Almost ALL his posts are just one thing, anti-Walker.
*SNIFF*
Yeah. But Minnesota voted for Mondale over Reagan, elected Al Franken, yet still gave us Bachmann. By the way, you seem to have left an "r" out of your screen name.
I’m glad to see another FReeper bring up the muslim terrorist Norquist supporting Walker thing. I have posted on it a few times the last few days but Walker’s little toadies will not touch it. Gee, I wonder why huh?
Have you ever been to the People’s Republic of Madistan?
You wouldn’t be so cavalierly dismissing Gov. Walker if you had.
