Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said Tuesday that things had “run amok” with reports that he was open to building a wall on the U.S.’ northern border and that all the talk was “just a joke.”
Appearing on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” the 2016 candidate addressed criticisms he had received after he said Sunday that building a wall was a “legitimate issue” to be considered.
“This is just a joke in terms of how people react to things,” Walker said. “I’ve said for some time that we need to secure the southern border. I’ve talked about the infrastructure, the personnel and the technology needed there. I’ve talked about enforcing the laws.”
He suggested that his comments had been misreported, and that the “legitimate issue” remark was concerning a question he had been asked by a constituent about the staffing and resources required to work alongside law enforcement on the northern border.
“I’ve never talked about a wall at the north, I’m certainly not now,” Walker said. “That’s just what happens when things get run amok.”
The issue was first brought up on “Meet The Press” Sunday, where Chuck Todd asked if Walker consider building a wall along the country’s border with Canada.
“They raised some very legitimate concerns, including some law enforcement folks that brought that up to me at one of our town hall meetings about a week and a half ago. So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at,” Walker told Todd.
Scott Walker: A candidate who you can trust to say what he means. And then the opposite, which he still means. And yet a third view, which he also means.
“I want my positions to be clear as mud!”
Holy Cow! It’s the Limbaugh Excuse!
“It was just a joke! Can’t you take a joke?!”
That Fat Fuck uses it all the time.
Uh, no Scotty. You said it had been brought up to you multiple times at town hall meetings and that it was a “legitimate concern” and something that should be talked about.
So STFU. Because we all have the video.
"building a wall on the U.S.’ northern border and that all the talk was “just a joke.”
Which is entirely consistent with the overall existence of his campaign.
Oh, there’s a joke here all right. This pathetic man and his pathetic campaign.
Remember when Walker was billed as the formidable candidate who would meld the social conservatives with the business wing and Democrats should be very nervous about? LOLOLOLOL
