Hillary Clinton did not hold back in a Thursday evening speech at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Student Union, blasting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) and his ties to the Koch brothers.
“It seems to me, just observing him, that Governor Walker thinks because he busts unions, starves universities, guts public education, demeans women, scapegoats teachers, nurses, and firefighters, he is some kind of tough guy on a motorcycle, a real leader,” she said, according to Politico. “Well, that is not leadership, folks. Leadership means fighting for the people you represent.”
“It looks like he just gets his marching orders from the Koch brothers and just goes down the list,” she continued.
Walker hit back at Clinton in a Thursday statement, followed by a series of tweets touting his record and criticizing Clinton’s positions.
“Hillary Clinton could learn a few lessons from the bold reforms we’ve enacted in Wisconsin since I took office,” he said in a statement, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “To move our country forward like we moved Wisconsin forward, we need a fresh face from outside Washington, D.C., to wreak havoc on the status quo and put hardworking American taxpayers back in charge. Hillary Clinton, who has been fighting for the ruling class over the working class for years, is not fit to take up that mantle.”

Why bother? Oh, she was in Wisconsin.
Still, don’t bother with him. Call him roadkill, and tell the audience that it doesn’t matter, because the GOP candidates are practically clones. Tell the audience to get ready for Clone Wars, because the GOP will have clones in every race on the ballot.
I look forward to the day when only Horton will be able to hear this Who.
Last I had heard, the Kochs had cut Walker off. Not really surprising given that Walker is so far down in the polls he can’t be seen with a microscope at this point.
Nice union-made Harley, d-bag.
