The president of the largest alliance of unions in the United States offered just six words in response to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker formally jumping into the 2016 presidential race.

“Scott Walker is a national disgrace,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a statement released ahead of Walker’s formal announcement on Monday.

There isn’t much love to lose between Walker and unions.

One does get a little testy when one’s union membership numbers are declining. Maybe Trumka is worried he’ll get down to a two-digit salary.

Awesome! If the thoroughly corrupt AFL-CIO head thug opposes you, you’re in very much the right place to be!

Well done, Governor Walker! Keep pissing them off!

Fat boy Trumka suckles directly from the rank-and-file of American unions. Per Frontpage Magazine, he gets nearly $300,000 per year and owns in a $750K house in Rockville, MD.

If I were Scott Walker, I’d wear that endorsement as a badge of honor.

Union leaders with their 6 and 7 figure salaries and perk packages are a national disgrace. They send packs of disruptors to upset the peace.

Knowing a man’s enemies often tells you more about a man than all the speeches and books in the world.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin ping list.

Can we just please have an amicable split in this country? An amicable divorce, you libs can take 1/2 and we will take 1/2, everybody’s happy. You can have the unions and the illegals, we’ll take the military. You can even have all the big cities - we’ll build from what we get. I wouldn’t even care if we’re poor at the beginning, it would be worth it.

Uhhh ... that’s a stern denunciation ... especially as it comes from a corrupt, commie, dumb lardass union thug with an ugly mug.
