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.”

Maybe smoking the ganja in CO...
I listened to the piece, Michele went on to endorse Ted Cruz.
Michelle Malkin is vetted. When she has a problem with somebody its for real. We will see how Walker holds up in the Debates.
Remember when Rick Perry was the One?
Cruise on over to Cruz...
It would behoove her to stay current on events...lest she becomes the Ann Coulter of the 2016 campaign.
Immigration Reform 2015: Republican Pres. Hopefull Gov. Scott Walker Explains Hard Right Turn on Issue
And how has Ducey proved to be a RINO? He put forth a balanced budget without raising taxes. He asked for and signed a bill making it mandatory to pass a civics test in order to graduate HS in AZ.
I didn’t see a video or audio at the story, do you perhaps have a link? Thanks!!
If he backs ANY stealthy form of amnesty, then THAT IS IT:
I will not vote for him.
I bet you’re a closet Bushbot.
Does Scott have a combover?
See this is the problem with the pollutionists. This is why we end up with Boehner and McConnell who were supposed to prevent the Barry-amnesty and then just turned around and funded it after winning the election.
Let me spell this out for you. Scott Walker has a credibility problem with regards to amnesty. Amnesty is a very important issue for a lot of conservatives. The GOP machine is not trustworthy on amnesty as they just funded it for Barry, after promising before the elections to stop it. Hence conservatives don't trust the GOP to be on the right side of this issue.
Walker recently recanted his amnesty support. He claimed that he was now on the right side of the issue. Then he goes and hires this prominent amnesty promoter.
Do you think conservatives should keep quite and look the other way?
People are not looking for candidates pure as snow. However they are not ready to compromise on some key issues. They also don't trust people whose actions don't match their promises. They are also looking for the best candidate who will represent them.
I remember seeing Malkin on some TV interview a while back, and that was before Scott Walker popped up into the race. So it was NOT Walker. I will try to find who she was supporting.
The main point is I am sick of republicans bad mouthing other republican candidates. Eating your own will get you another Obama Clone. I had it to my eyeballs of getting shafted by Obama without K-Y Jelly.
Restrict your comments to posting good things about your preferred candidate. Attacking other republicans is NOT the path to success in politics.
So I should refrain from investigating Walker’s record and background? Or Jebbie’s? Or Gomer Huckleberry’s? Or Sweater Vest’s? What if Don Trump and/or Mike Bloomberg (yes they’re Republicans!) get in the race? They’re off-limits too, I suppose? Ben Carson has never run for office, but we can’t go there, right? How about Krispy Kreme?
Dimocrats say the darnedest things. Laugh of the day!
I voted for Walker when I lived in Wisconsin, but now I regret my vote for him.
He's sold-out to La Raza and the Chamber of Amnesty. The Reconquista or reconquest of America is happening right now and Walker is dangerously supporting this radical transformation with his refusal to stop the Cheap Labor Express in the very state that he governs!
Hogwash! If there is a problem with a candidate, it would be better to hear about it now than find out when it is too late. All republican candidates are not equal, some are better than others.
Moreover, why is "bad mouthing" not ok with it is your own candidate, but it is ok when it is another candidate.
It’s simple:
Walker is the establishment’s Plan B.
but don’t make things up
They think he can fool us. Unfortunately they are right by the looks of some.
You have already said that depending on who the GOP nominates, that you might vote democrat.
So Walker is the republican that you feel most comfortable with?
