Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) had some choice words on Monday for Republican presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

Moore said during a conference call about the governor’s campaigning that Walker’s policies are “tightening the noose, literally, around African Americans,” the Associated Press reported Monday.

Moore cited Walker’s requirements to show a photo ID to vote and take a drug test to receive welfare and his opposition to raising the minimum wage.

Walker’s campaign declined to comment to the AP.
