Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says President Barack Obama’s Attorney General nominee, Loretta Lynch, is unfit to be the nation’s top lawyer because of her support for executive amnesty and other positions she’s taken, the governor’s spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski tells Breitbart News.
“Given Loretta Lynch’s failure to commit to protect Americans from the president’s lawless executive overreach, that even he said nearly two dozen times, she is not fit to serve as the nation’s Attorney General,” Kukowski said in an email.
Walker is in New Hampshire,the first in the nation primary state,on Friday, meeting with—among other—former Sen. Scott Brown(R-MA)—who narrowly lost to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen(D-NH) in the general election last year.
While Walker doesn’t have a vote in the U.S. Senate,his public opposition to Lynch’s nomination could have massive implications as the vote heads to the Senate floor next week. Even the four Republicans who have stated they intend to support Lynch—Sens. Jeff Flake R-AZ),Lindsey Graham(R-SC),Orrin Hatch(R-UT) and Susan Collins(R-ME)—might not want to oppose Walker’s position, along with the position of Sen. John McCain(R-AZ),the 2008 GOP presidential nominee.
Walker is polling at or near the top of most early presidential polls after an explosive entrance onto the national political stage in January with a speech to the Iowa Freedom Summit hosted by Rep. Steve King (R-IA) and Citizens United in Des Moines. He’s been hiring up key staff and touring early presidential states while quickly getting more involved in national political battles,and is emerging—along with Sens. Rand Paul(R-KY) and Ted Cruz(R-TX)—as one of the credible Republican alternatives to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in the GOP presidential primaries for 2016.
Bush has not taken a position on Lynch’s nomination at this time,and a spokesman for him told Breitbart News he’d check with the governor on the matter but hasn’t gotten back before publication of this story...

Loretta Lunch is not going to get US Senate approval. The stars are just not lining up right. She is out the cold. Not that I have any sympathy for this racist buffoon.
Nobody Obama picks would be who you or I would pick. But he’d be a lot better off with Preet Bharara than Lynch.
I second that!
More points for Walker.
She black, so he racist.
Anyone who thinks that the invaders have a right to work in the USA — is not qualified to serve anywhere in government.
I expect the Senate will confirm Lynch—Scared to death of being called racists, y’know.
Which, should Walker run and win the Presidency in 2016, would set up an interesting dynamic between him and GOP Senators.
He needs to get the word out that if he’s elected president he will actively campaign against any republicans who vote for her in the next election cycles.
He is the type of man to put this BS mantra to rest,along with the anti-female mantra that will appear if Cankles runs
Uh oh,
here comes the racist card, anti woman card...
Where’s that gif of the little kid?
Truth is always truth. She is not fit to serve.
Go Big and Go Bold. That’s his mantra. He delivers.
Loretta Lynch is just Eric Holder in drag. Even the name, Lynch, should be a little off-putting, considering the history that former slaves and their descendants have gone through in the days prior to the passage of more recent civil right laws.
So Eric Holder does not leave, and is only acting AG. If the Current Occupant of the White Hut had even a modicum of sense of duty, he would appoint Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless to the position.
If only to tag Herself with the general collapse of legal propriety in that territory once known as “the United States of America”.
Wouldn't be the first time a Counting Your Chickens play has made its way into politics.
If 4 Republican vote to confirm, they themselves are not fit to serve.
CW,
I appreciate your various posts about Governor Walker. I was born in Wisconsin and visit relatives there a few times a year. If they lived in Door County, it would be more frequent -:)).
I am no longer a cheesehead, but I follow what happens in Wisconsin. Walker seems like the closest candidate to Ronald Reagan. We really need another RR, ASAP.
I just hope that the FR circular firing squad doesn’t suppress the conservative vote.
Don’t think of them as invaders, think of them as the cheap labor the Corporations that pick our political leaders desperately want.
I doubt Walker would do that. He’s chided Repubs in the past for trying to vote out Rinos.
He’s loyal to the party.
