During a taped interview that aired Sunday morning on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Dana Bash asked Governor and 2016 Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker if he thought “being gay was a choice.”

Walker — who was traveling between campaign stops in Iowa — said that “I think that this isn’t an issue I need to be involved in. The bottom line is that I’m going to stand up and work hard for every American, regardless of who they are, no matter where they come from, no matter their background. I’m going to fight for people, no matter if they vote for me or not.”
Bash followed up, “To act on behalf of people, to do that properly, you have to understand, have an opinion on who they are and where they’re coming from.”
“I don’t have an opinion on every single issue out there. I don’t know, I don’t know the answer to that question. I don’t know what the answer to that is. I’m going to spend my time focused on things I can work on.”
Walker go home...please.
I had high hopes for him...what a letdown.
republicans should know better than to do interviews with cnn. the treacherous turn by that fatuous fatass cramdy crowlady in the presidential debates should have settled that one forever.
Walker had a good answer and should stopped there instead of giving her the courtesy of a follow up remark. All the gop need to learn how to smack down the gotcha questions.
Some questions are too dumb or vicious to deserve an answer. No apologies.
You backed the wrong horse. Again. Accept it, learn from your mistakes, support a conservative and move on.
Instructive! Notice where the quotes are.
MSM headline lie.
Scott Walker: 'I Don't Know' If People Are Born Gay Or If It's A Choice
You’re doing the MSM work for them.
Move on to more honorable behavior.
CNN misquotes Scott Walker. And so do a lot of FReepers.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Walker is a RINO with Romney staffers that loathe conservatives. If the Media exposed that then good on them.
Fox misquotes Trump and conservatives all the time.
Both have zero credibility with me.
Thanks to the corrupt media, we now have to question what presidential candidates have said about an issue as much as we have to question what Pope Francis actually said about an issue.
He may not be as conservative as all of us would like, but if he is the candidate I will do everything I can to see he is elected.
He is correct on most if not all the issues and he knows how to win under intense pressure.
Hillary absolutely must not win this election.
Yea every year theres always a new reason we have to keep Satan out of office with a ‘lesser evil’ instead of electing a conservative. And people are obviously too stupid to learn from history it seems.
I “HATE” MSM!
It is a good answer given the current climate.
No you didn't.
Damn mosquitoes.
I'm not a huge Walker supporter but I have to say he handled that question better than most of the other candidates would have.
title of the thread should be, “CNN Deliberately Misquotes Gov. Scott Walker; many Freepers choose to believe it anyway”.
