Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a presumed 2016 Republican presidential contender, decided to dodge the question when asked Wednesday what he thought of the scientific theory of evolution, according to multiple reports.
Walker was posed the question during a visit to London, England, where he is visiting for four days as part of a Wisconsin trade delegation.
Scott Walker is asked in London: Do you believe in evolution? “I’m going to punt on that one as well.”

Walker re: evolution: “I’m going to punt on that one as well. That’s a question a politician shouldn’t be involved in one way or another.”

US Republican Gov. Scott Waker dodges question about whether he believes in evolution. ‘I love the evolution of trade in Wisconsin.’

I’m not surprised that Walker would answer in that matter, I’ve got a pet rock that’s way more smarter than Walker!
Don’t think that response will be acceptable to GOP primary voters in Tennessee,Mississippi and Louisiana:
That’s pretty chicken-shit of you Scott. Whatsamatter? Afraid of the Christofascists declaring you an infidel? I would dearly love to see the smug smirk backhanded off of Governor Walker’s face.
Shoot, this one’s a snap. You just say you experimented with evolution in college but it was a mistake.
Profile in courage, GOP style.
