Scott Walker denounces Charleston slayings, sidesteps flag debate [allow loved ones to bury...]
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ^ | June 20, 2015 | Craig Gilbert

Washington—Speaking to a gathering of religious conservatives Saturday night, Gov. Scott Walker spoke for several minutes about the shooting in Charleston, S.C., calling it a "racist" and "evil" act and asking for a moment of prayer for the "nine brothers and sisters in Christ who were taken on Wednesday.".....

"...."I think they're going to have a good healthy debate and should have that debate in South Carolina amongst officials at the state level," Walker told reporters after his dinner speech at the "Road to Majority" conference.

"I just think before I or anyone else weighs in on anything to do with policy, whether it's this or any other policy decisions, we should honor the dead and the families by allowing them to bury their loved ones. And then you could perfectly ask me that question at some point in the next week or two when that's done.".....

Walker was among numerous GOP presidential hopefuls who appeared at the four-day conference organized by the Faith and Freedom Coalition.

An evangelical Christian, the son of a preacher and a leading figure in the party's 2016 field, Walker was introduced as a politician with a strong record opposing abortion and someone whose "faith informs his beliefs and his actions."

A banquet crowd of several hundred gave him a very enthusiastic reception.

Addressing the Charleston shooting at the outset of his speech, Walker said what happened there is not just about that city, but "it's really about all of us and trying to find a way to bring this country together instead of ways to pull us apart."

The governor pointed to the expressions of forgiveness coming from family members of victims, saying, "They showed us, they showed their community, they showed their state, they showed their country, they showed the world what it means to be a Christian.".....

Walk is a typical hypocrite, avoiding confronting the RACE-BAITERS on their FALSE PROPAGANDA.

Booker T. Washington nailed the truth about them long ago.

Take a look at Booker T. Washington on Black Victimhood.
This is a very important fact THAT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT TODAY !

Are you spamming all threads with that?

Did you go and read the article (the context and what Walker said) in the 3 minutes before you posted?

Seems to me Walker took the correct approach.

If you’re a headline reader (thinker/reactionary) then you are complicit with msm activism.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is no friend of conservatism or Scott Walker.

I politely ask that you contact the forum moderator and request that your post be removed.

Walker’s battle tested. He knows gotcha questions.

The msm will spin it anyway they can in their divide to steer public opinion toward the Democratic party.

They was NOTHING in the rest of the article worth repeating.
For those who support wind bags like Walker, they'll be okay with it.
But for fighters, he had a chance to expose the RACE-BAITERS for WHO they are, and he didn't have the GUTS !
But the blinded "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" SUPPORTERS won't even notice that Walker CHICKENED OUT !

I told you, it's not worth repeating.
But: How stupid can Walker get ? !
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING we have in common with those COMMUNISTS, so how can we pull together ?
But on the issue of RACE (if Walker is buying their RACE-BAITING tactics), he should have refuted that too.
BUT HE DIDN'T !

He’s not talking to the “useful idiots” he’s talking to a nation that the Left wants to incite and use - who they are dividing.

You have decided to characterize (pull out of thin air from a headline) Scott Walker.

You have failed.

Now you characterize me.

Here's more to fuel your irrational fury.

Walker: I plan to 'go to places around the country' Republicans typically haven't gone "..."What we're going to do is not just have a specific strategy just for one group of voters in one part of the country. We're going to tell a message that we think resonates all across the country."....

Watch him as he lowers the standards top become a United States Citizen !
Next thing you know, Walker'll be asking Boehner to be his Vice.
Or maybe while Walker's in Philadelphia, he'll be asking one of Arlen Specter's son's, either Shanin or Steve, to be his running mate.

January 3, 2011 - Walker assumes Office of Governor of Wisconsin.

In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it."...

Your PRO-AMNESTY Candidate, Scott Walker, is PROVED to be TALKING OUT OF BOTHS SIDES OF THE ISSUE ( you CAN NOT TRUST him ! ).
Watch the videos and READ the article from HOT AIR, most certainly not on your list of band-sources.
Let's keep LOSER Walker in his home state.
We don't need any more SELLOUTS in Washington D.C., and especially in the Oval Office!
