CanaBadger: Timeline: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on marijuana
......March 31, 2015: In response to a question about marijuana legalization at a luncheon in Phoenix emceed by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Walker said he opposed legalizing marijuana, citing a conversation he’d had with Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney, a Democrat.
“I mean, it’s left of Pravda,” Walker said of the political views of county residents, which he compared to the Communist Russian newspaper.
“Even there, the Democrat sheriff said to me last year when this issue came up, ‘Whatever you do, please do not sign the legalization of marijuana,'” Walker said. “This was a guy who spent his whole career in law enforcement. He was liberal on a whole lot of other issues. But he said it’s a gateway drug.”
Sept. 9, 2010: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel posted then-gubernatorial candidates Tom Barrett, Mark Neumann and then-Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker’s positions on legalizing medical cannabis:
Do you support the legalization of medical marijuana?
Scott Walker: No. Federal law still classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 narcotic and I believe state law should reflect this as well.
What's KOS or DU dug up on Trump?
Oh, your next post you say.
Yea let’s put people in jail for drinking alcohol too huh?
The sick and dying will now be voting for Trump too as will people who like being free, vs C.Wife and Walker who like big govt nanny state ruling our lives.
President Trump for shrinking govt!
Thanks C.W was concerned Trump was for the failed war on drugs and he was going to make the sick and dying suffer more, but you have cleared that up for me and I have another reason to support Trump. BTW I have no reasons to support Walker.
You fail to realize your nonsense makes Trump more popular everyday here at FR.
My compliments for the great service being done for Trump in posting this stuff. By in large most libertarians within the gop and outside are suspicious of DT. Pointing out that he was at one time in favor of outright legalization will go far in bridging the trust gap.
I have no problem with all legalization. If you dont have discipline and destroy yourself thats on you. Everything was legal anyhow before the progressives took over early last century.
The support is not for the man, but his ambiguous message..
Scott Walker? LOL! Are you really pimping that moron? Dropped out of Marquette with a 2.6 GPA, and never had a job in his life outside politics? THAT’S who you compare with Wharton grad and billionaire Trump? What do you think of Walker’s loudmouth liberal wife? That ok with you? A freaking trainwreck that family. Please stop posting crap about that doofus.
